Well I didn’t review Earth 2 Annual 1 seeing as how it revolved around a couple of characters that are going to be pretty much nonfactors in the Earth 2 universe going forward.  Al Pratt, The Atom, was last seen freezing to death in Moscow and getting his arm ripped off by Superman, and Batman…

In the previous issue, Red Tornado Lois and Evil-Superman took an awkward trip to Smallville, Val-Zod demonstrated his pacifism by being nothing more than a Kryptonian-shield in a fight, oh and Batman blew up half of Gotham along with the Bat-cave.  Superman’s path of destruction may have been tempered by Lois’ return from the dead,…

Superman has come face-to-face with not only his Kryptonian brethren, but also his dead wife, Lois Lane, who’s been reanimated in the body of Red Tornado.  Green Lantern has returned from the grave, the remnants of the World’s Army are gathering on Amazonia, and Batman is with the remaining Wonders busy underneath Gotham City plotting…

It’s been two weeks on Earth 2 since the return of Superman and the death of Steppenwolf, and we are finally treated to the revival that’s been hinted at for several issues now.  If you can’t tell from the cover: Green Lantern’s back!  And there’s several fantastically-drawn pages thanks to Nikola and Trevor Scott, who…

If you haven’t read Earth 2 Annual #2 or the respective review, I highly suggest you do so before continuing further. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ve seen a more brutal opening to a comic issue in the New 52, but the first few pages of “The Kryptonian, Part One” show us just how impactful…

We are still dealing with the fallout of Superman’s return, but the Wonders have regrouped and now have perhaps the only two weapons that can be used against the returned Kryptonian.  Batman’s Kryptonite and now another Kryptonian who was apparently being held by Terry Sloan seem to be the only viable options for defeating The…

Superman has left the scene of the previous battle at the Arkham Base, and the remaining Wonders may have a chance to collect themselves before launching a counterattack.  They are interrupted, however, by hordes of Parademons bearing down on them from the sky.  The majority of the action in “The Dark Ages, Part 3” takes…

With Superman and Batman’s return to Earth 2, the world now needs the joint power of all the Wonders to repel the forces of Apokolips.  In the opening chapter of “The Dark Ages” arc, Tom Taylor has brought his talent from Injustice: Gods Among Us to showcase another tale of Superman turning on his adopted…

Earth 2 could not have picked a better writer to replace James Robinson, and I’d like to think the reveal created by Robinson at the end of last issue was made specifically to introduce Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Tom Taylor.  If you haven’t read “To The Victor…” please, please, do so immediately.  Ok, now that…

Wow.  When Earth 2 has finished its run, regardless of how long or short it may be, I think I’ll look back on “To The Victor…” as the point where the series succeeded or failed.  So much was done in this issue, both good and bad, that really encompass the spirit of Earth 2 so…
