ANNOTATIONS

Page 10, panel 1
Booster Gold triumphantly leads the Justice League into the Secret Lair of the Fox to nab the perpetrator of the recent mystery on the moon! Booster is unaware that the evidence incriminating the Fox is a misdirection planted by the shadow organization Stormwatch.

Page 16, panel 3
The Fox is seen bound in rope on the floor of his lair surrounded by silhouetted figures including Batman. It is unclear who "the Fox" is. Is this a new villain in the DCnU?

REVIEWS

Boosterrific Review: While a lot of very confusing but exciting things happen in this second issue, it lacks some exposition and nothing is resolved. The style and events of this story at first seemed discongruous with the DCU of old, but now that the old Wildstorm Universe and DC Universe have been merged into the DCnU, it's natural for new paradigms to be formed. Readers fond of the old Wildstorm Universe will be very pleased with the issue, and DC Universe fans may find something worthwhile in the experience if they come in with an open mind.
