During the first seven days of 52 ground work is laid with the focal characters. Ralph Dibny hits rock bottom with the destruction of his home. Renée Montoya takes solace in the bottom of a bottle. Steel involves himself endlessly in rescue operations. The Question begins looking for answers. Black Adam secures his position in his homeland. Booster Gold returns to the public eye and the sponsors' bottom lines. Along the way is a memorial for the fallen, a mysterious message for Ralph, a hero losing her toys, and the abduction of Doctor Sivana.

There are two continuity hiccups of note at the memorial: 1) the inclusion of the members of Shadowpact seems at odds with the events from Shadowpact (2006) #1; and 2) it is unclear who is in attendance as Nightwing. It may be Dick, who had left with Batman and Robin for a "year away" at the end of Infinite Crisis (2006) #7, or Jason Todd, who was revealed to have co-opted the identity sometime during that year in Nightwing (1996) #118.

Booster Gold; Question [Vic Sage]; Ralph Dibny; Renée Montoya; Steel [John Henry Irons]; Skeets; Devem; Fire; Halo; Wonder Girl [Cassie Sandsmark]; Bumblebee [Karen Beecher] (cameo); Cyborg [Vic Stone] (cameo); Firestorm [Jason Rusch] (cameo); Green Lantern [Alan Scott] (cameo); Hawkgirl [Kendra Saunders] (cameo); Herald [Mal Duncan] (cameo)
The fourth week finds Montoya watching a derelict building in Gotham, and coming away better, and worse, off for it. Halo is looking for signs of the "space team" heroes return as Washington winds down the search. Booster burns down one of the few bridges he had with the superhero community. While updating his armor, Steel falls victim to a mysterious attacker. Ralph meets with Wonder Girl and the Kryptonian cult lead by Devem, and comes away with a little less than he went in with. By the week's end, Halo's vigilance pays off, to an extent.
