52 Week Four – 2006 is another gripping instalment in DC Comics' critically acclaimed year-long weekly series, where time marches on without the presence of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Set in the immediate aftermath of Infinite Crisis, this unique title puts the spotlight on secondary heroes and hidden corners of the DC Universe, creating a fresh, dynamic world-building experience for long-time fans and new readers alike.
Written collaboratively by powerhouse talents Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid, Week Four sharpens the narrative focus on evolving plotlines such as Renee Montoya’s reluctant involvement in a case alongside the enigmatic Question, and Booster Gold’s increasingly desperate attempt to remain a celebrity hero—despite time itself working against him.
This issue continues to highlight the emotional and psychological toll left by the heroes who are missing in action. The storytelling excels in weaving together disparate threads, from personal grief to global politics, all while maintaining a grounded tone. The world feels unstable, and the heroes who remain—like Steel, Black Adam, and Ralph Dibny—are challenged to step into the void left behind.
Art duties are handled by Joe Bennett with inks by Ruy José, and the result is a clean, expressive visual style that brings clarity and subtle emotion to a complex story. The page layouts are bold without being chaotic, and the character work feels sincere—especially in the more grounded scenes involving Montoya and Dibny.
Whether you're assembling the full 52-issue set or diving into a pivotal moment in post-Crisis continuity, 52 Week Four (2006) represents an important bridge in the evolving DC narrative. Its commitment to elevating underused characters and telling grounded, layered stories sets it apart from traditional superhero fare.
