This is going to be a very long post because this story arc has been consuming the entire D.C. universe for more than a year. All of this is from another website. I'm too lazy to type that much.


In IDENTITY CRISIS:

-Jean Loring, during a twisted attempt to get back with her ex-husband the Atom, ccidentally killed Sue Dibny, the wife of Elongated Man.
-During the investigation of the murder, seven members of the Justice League (the Atom, Black Canary, Elongated Man, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman and Zatanna) met, discussing how they once mind-wiped Dr. Light after he was caught assaulting Sue.
-Calculator resurfaced, setting up assignments for metahuman mercenaries.
-Dr. Light, seeking protection from the Justice League (who considered him a suspect of Sue's murder), hired Deathstroke. Slade Wilson fought them to a near standstill until Green Arrow plunged an arrow into his eye.
-During the battle, Dr. Light remembered that the heroes had purged his memory, altering his personality and intelligence.
-Further covering her tracks, Loring arranged for Jack Drake (the father of Robin) and Captain Boomerang to kill each other.
-While questioning the Shadow Thief, Firestorm was stabbed and detonated, disappearing in an explosion of energy.
-The Flash learned that the Justice League also mind-wiped Batman, who walked in on them as they were "operating" on Dr. Light years ago.
-The Atom figured out what Loring had done and turned her over to Arkham Asylum.

In THE FLASH #214-#216, Wally West learned of Barry Allen's involvement in the Dr. Light mind-wipe. He also discovered that they had done the same to multiple villains over the years, including the Top, who in turn had altered the personalities of several of the Flash's rogues.

In ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #636, the Man of Steel learned that the villain called Ruin was targeting his loved ones. Unbeknownst to Superman, Ruin is working for Lex Luthor's newly formed secret Society of super-villains. Following a battle with Ruin, Superman then met with Wonder Woman and Batman, who discussed the option of mind-wiping him, as they had done to Dr. Light.

In MANHUNTER #6, Kate Spencer began the prosecution of Shadow Thief for the murder of Firestorm. Also in that issue, the Society employed Calculator to find someone to "deal with" Shadow Thief.

In GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH, Hal Jordan returned to claim his mantle of the Green Lantern of space sector 2814. In doing so, he gave up the mantle of the Spectre, freeing the entity to once again become the embodiment of God's wrath.

Proponents of higher-order theories of consciousness argue that consciousness is explained by the relation between two levels of mental states in which a higher-order mental state takes another mental state. If you mention this to Chuck Norris, expect an explosive roundhouse kick to the face for spouting too much fancy-talk.

BJSim

wheelman... thanks forthe update. WOW.... I mean WOW! I only get about half the books as regular titles and have actually been setting them aside to read as a group. But it wouldn't have made as much sense because of all the books I didn't get.

I'm an old time comic book fan. Unfortunately, as prices went up the number of books I buy has gone down. And with my wife into comics that eats at my funds (because god forbid she buy her own books).

Right now I get:
Powers, Most of the Spiderman titles, GL & GL Corps, Hellblazer, Lucifer, most Bat titles, Nightwing, New Avengers, JLA, Batman/Superman, 100 Bullets, PvP, etc..
The Wife gets: (and I read)
SiP, Samurai Executioner, True Stories Swear to God, Girls, and Fables.
