DC fans
Much better than Volume 1 since the writers are hitting their stride as a group more, are able to do less exposition and more action, and do less with their leftist political agenda. Anyone who loves the old DC, the modern DC, and/or the new DC will like this, as it interweaves so many primary, secondary, and tertiary characters into a story that hangs together very well. I really like Geoff Johns', Mark Waid's, and Keih GIffen's contribution. Grant Morrison in in love with his own weirdness and...more

I read this at Borders with my roommate Bikki while we were waiting for the rain to subside this evening (P.S. spending several guiltless hours at a bookstore is a rare treat!).
My comments on the extras in 52: Vol. 1 still stand. I love the behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of this huge undertaking.
Volume 2 (chronicling Weeks 14-26, approximately, in the lost year) really gets exciting, as storylines converge, various characters...more

52's (many) storylines get stronger as the series goes longer. There are fewer stories per issue, letting the (many) writers flesh out the characters. And the (many) artists pick up their game.
I really like what's happening with the Black Adam family, Lobo, Dr. Fate, and Skeets. I was a bit sad about the fate of Booster Gold, and wish they'd show more Lex Luthor, but on the whole, I can't complain. Phil Jiminez's issue (number 24) is clearly the best-drawn.

In this, the second of four to six volumes of 52, the year long weekly comic book that DC put out, things are still good. Action, characterization, and all things that make a good story are still here. Only complaint is that it starts to drag a little, but things still stay good for the most part.

Doesn't really live up to the promise of 52 Vol. 1
While still interesting Vol. 2 relies more on kitsch than the creepy substance of the first 13 weeks.
