The remaining two characters appear to have intertwining lives. You won't really discover why The Question and former officer Renee Montoya are connected, but with The Question, I have no doubt it will be dull. I have to note that Montoya is not a superheroine. I believe I recognize the name, but why she gets to be one of the five people who are part of this weekly series, I do not know as of yet. All I know is 1) she's a drunk and 2) she's a hero that us non-super folk can relate to. Maybe she's from some Gotham City miniseries that I never read, but hopefully the writers have made the right decision in including her in this series instead of a more popular character.

None of these five are high on the popularity chart in the ranks of superheroes, so to make someone pick up 52, and with some of the creative talent behind Infinite Crisis, I have faith in their ability to make even the most obscure characters relevant. I will be reading the next week's issue of 52, if only to see if this story has any legs, not because this inaugural issue was mind-blowingly brilliant.
