52
[details=Spoiler]Welcome to my last Spoilers for 52, and I hope that you have enjoyed the ride and appreciate all the hard work that DC has done to provide us with such a ride and in a timely fashion week after week. Before I begin I would like to ask that we keep the conversations generated from these Spoilers to this thread until tomorrow, Wednesday, when the book comes out and is available as some readers do not want to have their reading of 52 Spoiled and my intent is to provide Spoiler ONLY to those that want Spoilers. It is also my hopes that the Spoilers will inspire you to buy the book if you are not already doing so as my Spoilers are just words and there is a lot more to a comic book than just words and the Spoilers can not replace the hard work that the art staff for 52 has provided nor replace the writing of the book itself.
So, lets all give Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Keith Giffen, J.G. Jones, Alex Sinclair, Stephen Wacker, Michael Siglain, Dan Didio and all of those not mentioned a hand for a job well done. Thank you all.

A Year in the Life
Written by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid.

Week 0, Day 0
Rip, Booster, the head of Red Tornado and the remains of Skeets are traveling in time to a year ago when the Multiverse was created. Rip explains to Booster that when all of the Earths collapsed back into one another after Conner Kent sacrificed his life to save our reality creating New Earth that in a cosmic act of self-preservation, as you just saw, it began replicating. There are 52 identical Earths in 52 identical cosmos all occupying the same space and each on their own vibrational plane. What Red Tornado saw was the same thing that Rip had seen being the creation of the multiverse and his computer brain had mapped it.
A giant Mr. Mind appears behind the Time Sphere. He tells Rip and Booster that he will be the dominant life form not only on Earth but on all Earths. Mr. Mind then regurgitates the Phantom Zone towards the Time Sphere looking to trap Rip and Booster in the Phantom Zone. Supernova then appears and is hit with the blast, from Mr. Mind saving the Time Sphere. Rip then turns to Booster and informs him that the technology in the Supernova suit is able to deflect and restore the Phantom Zone to its proper dimensional plane. When questioned by Booster about Supernova, Rip tells him and Supernova takes off his mask that it is his ancestor Daniel Carter in the suit. Rip explains to Booster how Daniel got imprisoned in endless time loop of 52 seconds stolen from Earths timeline and that he moved the time loop into the time stream in which they are at. Rip also informs Booster that he gave Daniel the Supernova suit because its keyed to the Carter genetic code. Mr. Mind then starts to alter his vibrational frequency to try and tear the Time Sphere apart. Rip has Red Tornado match Mr. Minds frequency for an Earth jump which ends up taking the Time Sphere and Mr. Mind to Earth 17. Upon their arrival Mr. Mind starts eating years and events from this universes history altering the Earth. Red Tornado makes another Earth jump leaving the present Metropolis in shambles with knights riding on big dog like creatures.
Next they arrive at Earth 3 and spot the JLA. Mr. Mind starts eating and altering events causing the creation of the Crime Society. Earth 10 is shown with the Freedom Fighters, Earth 50 is the Wildstorm Universe, Earth 5 is the Marvel Universe, Earth 22 is the Kingdom Come universe, Earth 2 is Earth 2 and Earth 4 is the Charleston universe.
Rip then informs Daniel and Booster that they need to trap Mr. Mind because if he spawns where they are at that Hyperflies will devour the consciousness of every living thing, and leave all of creation to rot in mindless darkness forever. Booster then starts to doubt himself and what he can do when what little is left of Skeets tells him that he has the utmost faith in you. Booster quickly pulls himself together and grabs a hold of Skeets and tells Rip One thing I do know is where to find the kind of energy source we need and then jumps in time. Once Booster is gone, Rip finishes gearing up and jumps in time himself.
Booster makes his arrive on New Earth the day after the first Crisis. He appears behind Blue Beetle looking for his amulet in the debris of some ruined buildings. Booster tells Beetle that he bets it turns up just where you least expect it. When Beetle turns back around Booster is gone.
At the house of the Sivana Family, Sivana is gathering his family together to get into the Suspendium Globe to save them from what Sivana suspects will happen. Rip then appears and shoots Sivana in the leg and takes off with the Suspendium Globe himself.
Both Rip and Booster arrive back at the Time Sphere. Rip uses the Suspendium Globe to attract the Hyperflies as artificial time. This stuff works like crack cocaine on a hyperfly. Rip and Booster then use the Beetle Amulet to give the Supernova suit an extra power source to get Mr. Minds attention by creating a giant flash and then they disappear.
The Time Sphere returns to Rips lab at which time Rip starts to work on Skeets. Mr. Mind then makes his presence but he is much smaller upon his arrival starts to grow. Rip hands Skeets to Booster and tells him that he has reinforced his shell with Suspendium to help imprison him. Booster jumps towards Mr. Mind with Skeets half opened and slams Skeets closed with Mr. Mind trapped inside. Rip tells Booster that The faster and harder it moves against the Time Stream, the more Chronal Energy the Suspendium will pick up. Move it with enough force and it becomes the only thing that can save the Multiversea Time Bomb that will end the threat of Mr. Mind. Booster takes Skeets and throws him into the open hole in time telling Daniel to go long. Daniel/Supernova jumps in after it and heads back in time; Danny, Rips calculated the exact time and place Mind has to end up! While passing Week 2 Day 1 it is shown where Mr. Mind entered Skeets in Magnus lab. Supernova continues back and grabs a hold of Skeets and spikes him into the ground in the desert on Week 1 Day 1.
Having heard the noise of the Time Bomb, Sivana goes to see what it was. As he approaches the crater of the explosion, Sivana notices Mr. Mind and picks him places him in a sealed tube.
Supernova then pops back out through the time hole and into Rips lab. Rip tells Daniel and Booster that no one can know what happened.
Booster: Hell with that. Modestys for the forgotten. Im gonna make damn sure that everyone knows who rescued their asses.
Rip: Is there not enough credit in all of time and space to make you happy? Will you not rest until history finally recognizes that Booster Gold saved the—
Booster: Not me. Skeets. Its not fair. He ought to be remembered. He was my best friend.
Rip: Is. While I was reinforcing him with Suspendium, I copied his mem-self into a leftover responsometer. Its crudebut we both know who can do the full restoration.
Rip Booster and Supernova then get into the Time Sphere and enter the Time Stream showing off the Multiverse and its different worlds.
