52 Clues
Okay, digging through some of the clues hidden out and about in the comic 52. Eh, it’s a hobby.
Page 1: Messiest of them all, there’s a lot of hidden stuff in the crystals. Black Adam, Joker, Animal Man, Wonder Girl, Elongated Man losing Sue, baby Kal-El, Booster Gold, Frankenstein, the JLA getting wooded, Adam Strange, Wonder Woman, Robin, Joe Chill, Green Lantern getting a ring, John Henry Irons, Robin and Stargirl, Max Lord getting cranked, Superman, and Batman. There’s a couple shots of a guy in all black with a motorcycle helmet on, and there’s a blonde-haired guy getting something spilled on him (probably two-face).
Most interesting shard is lower right, where it’s that guy in the helmet and black jumpsuit. But he’s standing in front of a Superman statue with the S emblem upside down.
Page 2: That shard is there in Panel 1, too. It’s not a typo. And again in Panel 3, which only has the Big Three, a Black Adam moment, and Booster Gold. Tag it as our first official clue.
Page 3: The Anselm.. Case of 1995. Anselmo? Someone get on this. Ralph’s history will be important.
Page 4: Clue one: the ashtray is Cannon Cigarettes. Clue two: 52 Pickup? I’m guessing it’s a road sign, but the three spades are odd. Might need to keep a tally of all 52 references.
Page 5: Fleishcer Bros. Is the name on the bus. And Hot Dididogs for sale.
Page 11: There’s something about Sue’s name really being Deardon, not Dearborn. The Ambassador Hotel thing there isn’t a clue, just a note to show that Ralph is there. With the gun from 1995.
Page 11: First mystery - what the heck was written on Sue’s tombstone, and by who? My guess, it’s the Question, bringing Ralph back from the brink.
Page 15: Mystery two: Who’s best interest is it to destabilize Kahndaq.
Page 16: Mystery three: Who kidnapped Doctor Sivana, and what part does Mr. Mind have to play.
Page 17: I heard rumors about Jade. I feel so bad for Alan. Weeks into the year that Alan keeps his eye: one.
Page 17: Oh yeah, side plot: what happened to Uncle Sam. I’m sure he’ll pop up about a year from now.
Page 18-19: Roll Call Splash: Zatanna, Martian Manhunter (old costume), Green Arrow I, Green Arrow II, Black Canary, Dr. Light, Guy Gardner, Hal Jordan, Sand, possibly Gold of the Metal Men, Nightwing (WTF?), Power Girl, Blue Devil, Ragman, Enchantress, Jim Rook, Detective Chimp, Artemis, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Raven, Dr. Mid-Night (flying?), unidentified guy in red with white T, Thunder, Shift, Bulleteer, Grace, Mr. Terrific, Ray, Aquaman (Old style), Mera, Ray, The Doom Patrol, Star-Spangled Kid and STRIPE, Geo-Force, Red Star, Jakeem Thunder and T-Bolt, Bulleteer, Flash I, Wildcat, Plastic Man, Mr. Miracle, John Stewart, Huntress, Thunder, Frankenstein, Klarion the Witchboy, Sasha B., Mr. Bones. Might have missed a couple.
Page 20: Ah, what could have been a clue. The 1s and 0s that Skeet is saying translate into 24, 6, 6, 6. These are not the binary calls for ASCII letters. But if you make A=1, B=2, C=3, it only says XFFF. It could have been a fun way to hide in something like OMAC. Sadly, no.
Page 22: What does that CHAK mean? Wait, no, he’s just turing on the "? Signal." Odd that he’s already figured out that Bats is gone, not even a week since his last appearance. Either that, or The Question is unstable.
