This issue reunited Ralph Dibny with one of the artist who drew him often in the old Justice League Europe / Justice League International series. Although the cartoony look was right for Ralph Dibny, it also took away from the seriousness of this issue. Sure Dibny stretches, but he doesn't have to look weird when he does. At the very least, the team who brings us 52 every month is finally making this series entertaining. Read Full Review

52 #42 was both a good read and a disappointing read. It all depends on the context in which you read this issue. I applaud the writers for trying to do something interesting with Ralph's character. However, I just wish Ralph's death could have served a more impressive purpose. I definitely think that Ralph's plotline doesn't need to be included into 52. Ralph's storyline could be packaged together in its own trade paperback and be read independently from the events of 52. Read Full Review
