Since no one in the forum is actually planning to buy this weekly comic from DC that will help define the post Infinite Crisis DC Universe, I thought I'd give summaries that will help people catch up.

Issue #1:

(contains MINOR Infinite Crisis spoilers. You have been warned.)

As the issue begins, we see various shards of glass depicting various people and places in the DC Universe swirling around. They reform into a picture of the Earth.

As we begin, Ralph Dibny (aka The Elongated Man) is standing amidst the wreckage of his house, which has apparently been torn down by the massive villain assault during InC #7. He picks up a gun labelled as a souvenir of "Anselmo Case - 1995". Bea (probably Beatriz DeCosta, aka Fire) is speaking to him. She's worried about him.

Also, Gotham PD's Renee Montoya is in a bar slowly getting drunk. In Paris, Steel is assisting with the cleanup. There is a memorial service scheduled in Metropolis that all the heroes are contemplating attending.

Shift to Metropolis, where Booster Gold and Skeets (who had been programmed with historical data before Booster's return in InC #2) are apprehending Mammoth of the Fearsome Five, foiling a jewel robbery. Mammoth is amazed that Booster caught him as he decided to steal the gems on a spur of the moment decision. Skeets is acting as commentator on the proceedings, helping to put Booster over as a hero. After the capture, a girl asks Booster if Wonder Woman is okay. He reassures her that "Wonder Woman is fine. They're all fine." Booster poses for pictures, but is advised by Skeets to lose the grin, as Superboy had just died and the city is still in shock. As they fly off, Booster and Skeets discuss the big speech coming up, as Superman is scheduled to deliver a speech "which will be taught in Civics classes for the next 500 years." Also, Jimmy Olsen is scheduled to win a Pulitzer for his picture of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman on this occassion. A new Justice League will also be named which Booster describes as "the greatest Justice League ever", and history records that he will be a member of it.

Switch back to Ralph. He is sitting in a hotel all alone, listening to voice messages, still holding the gun from earlier. Bea calls and Ralph just ignores it. But just as he begins to place the gun in his mouth, he receives a 2nd message saying that a message was found... on Sue Dibny's tombstone.

Switch to Steel. His niece Natasha, also in a suit of armor he designed is flying off, intending to join the Teen Titans. He tells her she can't blow off her responsibility to help clean up the city. When she ignores him, and tells them that she's earned the right to join the Titans, he presses a control on a remote and Natasha's armor falls apart. He tells her that if she wants armor, to build it herself, as she picks up the pieces.

Switch to Black Adam. He's back in his home country of Kahndaq, saying he turned his back on the rest of the world and that he intends to make up for that mistake. Panels show Kahndaqians taking over the old Themysciran embassy in Washington, given that Themyscira no longer exists on Earth. He then heads off a suicide bomber, and demands to know who sent him.

Switch to Dr. Sivana who remarks that Black Adam is more fun. Two large men, with with a green scaly arm (Killer Croc?) and one with a grey furry arm say they want him and drag him away.

In Metropolis, the various heroes gather for the memorial service. The Ray has survived, though the rest of the Freedom Fighters have died, and Uncle Sam is MIA. Bart Allen confirms that Wally West and Linda Park-West are "doing fine" and "just taking some time away", but that Jay Garrick is the Flash because Bart's speed is gone with the departure of the Speed Force (It turned out Jay Garrick had a metagene giving him superspeed independent of the Speed Force, but Jay now has a top speed of around the speed of sound). Bart wishes he was fast enough to save Superboy.

Booster is the only one all smiles as Fire hugs J'Onn, saying that Ralph should be there. Skeets says that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are due to begin in a minute. Booster even reassures Beast Boy that they'll be there. At exactly 4:30, Booster announces "Ta-Da!" but nothing happens. Metamorpho and Firehawk derisively ask whether he's announcing himself.

Booster begins to panic. He demands to know from Skeets where they are. As Booster panics, J'Onn asks him for a little decorum, Skeets responds that the records insist that the three are supposed to be there, but begins shorting out and falls to the ground. Booster is really worried now, as he accosts Jimmy Olsen, demanding that Olsen "take the picture!" As J'Onn and Hal Jordan restrain him, Booster's elbow hits someone saying that they're not coming.

Booster turns and sees Clark Kent with a bloody nose. He asks how Clark knows they're not coming, and Clark says he just knows... and that he's sorry.

Cut to the top of the Gotham City Police Department. The Question pulls the Bat silouhette from the Bat-Signal and paints a question mark on it. Renee Montoya has returned home. There is a note from Renee's partner saying that she is leaving because she doesn't know Renee anymore and Renee is destroying herself. Renee thinks that she can't blame her and takes another swig from the bottle. Suddenly her room lights up. The Question has poined the new Question-Signal light at Renee's window. He asks up on the roof "Are you ready?"
