Issue Description
The beginning of the issue briefly shows Supernova in what appears to be the Batcave. He looks around silently before focusing on an encased glove.
We next see Steel, with his newly acquired steel skin, rescuing people from a fire. He learns that Lex Luthor's metagene therapy gives Luthor the ability to take powers away as easily as give them out.
Back with Lobo, Starfire, Animal Man, and Adam Strange, we find out that the Emerald Eye of Ekron belongs to, coincidentally, the Emerald Head of Ekron who is now aware of their location.
This issue also contains "The Origin of Adam Strange" as a side-story.

Volume Description
52 was a 52-part limited series, published weekly for one year, chronicling the events that take place during the missing year after the end of Infinite Crisis. None of the DC "Big Three" (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) are featured in costume in the pages of 52.
While DC had used the weekly format before, (most notably with Action Comics in April 1988), 52 was their first attempt to launch a new title as a weekly. Set in the time between the end of "Infinite Crisis" and the "One Year Later" story lines, 52 dealt with the events of the missing year - a year without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, The title was masterminded by writers Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid, with Keith Giffen producing art breakdowns. Its weekly publication meant several artists had to handle the art, starting with Joe Bennett on the first four issues. A massive saga, spanning the whole DC Universe (and beyond), 52 introduced several new heroes and villains, including a new Question and Batwoman, before the big reveal of a new multiversse of fifty two realities, each containing an alternate Earth.
The story had a huge impact on the DC Universe, affecting everything from Black Adam's World War III spin off, to Booster Gold's post - 52 reality - spanning adventures. It also led into countdown to final crisis and left the DC Universe a dramatically different place.
