52 was a yearlong series published by DC Comics from May 2006 to May 2007. As the name suggests it consisted of an issue every week for an entire year, a Herculean task made easier by having four writers (Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid), one breakdown artist (Keith Giffen), and a veritable army of pencilers, inkers, colorists, and letterers. The story takes place between the events of Infinite Crisis and the One Year Later storylines of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman. Not to be confused with Action 52.
