Exclusive: First Look at EARTH 2 #8

The identity of the mysterious Amazon will be revealed in the upcoming issue.

We've been wondering about the identity of the mysterious woman said to be the 'Earth 2 Amazon' for quite a while now, and the latest preview of EARTH 2 finally reveals a bit more information regarding her identity as well as where Steppenwolf has been since the fall of 'the Wonders' back in the first few issues of this series.

No Caption Provided

The preview to EARTH 2 #8 reveals a Steppenwolf who appears never to have left earth. A terror to humanity that has been stuck on Earth 2 since the Boom Tube closed, taking refuge in a country that has closed its doors to International Law. In a brief monologue he reveals bits of information about the woman who has quickly become his second in command; a woman born on Earth to the "greatest warrior from Amazon Island" (HMM who could that be, we wonder?!) and one who has embraced the tutelage of Apokolips' warriors. Robinson's brief mention of the Amazon in the preview reminded us a little bit of Big Barda, which was nice to see. It will be interesting to see whether this character embraces Steppenwolf's ways, or if she will eventually turn on him and serve her home planet. You can check out the interview we did with James Robinson about this very issue not too long ago by going here. EARTH 2 #8 is set to hit store shelves on this coming Wednesday, January 9th.

@Perfect 10:

The universe of the Fourth World is and always will be it's own universe. There is only one Apokalips, New Genesis, Darksied, and so on. Darksied was looking across the Multiverse for his daughter.

@maybetoby: earth 2 is an alternate universe. just like there is a second earth there is a second apokolips etc. also it could be the same steppenwolf from our earth (new 52). if he can transverse universes and planets i'm sure time is not big of a deal to him

I'm pretty certain J.Robinson has already stated it isn't going to be Donna. Name's Fury, "Real Name" still hasn't been revealed - probably Lyta thought.

I thought James said she was not the daughter of Steve/Diana. So who is the father? Some are saying it's Steppenwolf...ouch if that is the case. Mind boggles and kind of disgusting too. Got to feel sorry for WW. Did she ever have any happiness? Fooled no doubt by him, child taken, nation annihilated, and then hacked down by him. Wow, so the kid will have to choose between her mother or father's legacy. But must say the girl looks like Lashina. No doubt she'll change costumes when she chooses sides.

That the Fury reboot has changed hair color does not mean that the black hair is a nod to Donna Troy. I noticed the reboots of dc tend to change the hair color lately. Like the rebooted Katar Hol also changed his hair color from black to brown. For Fury, maybe she cannot be blonde anymore bec. her father is no longer Steve Trevor so she had to follow the black hair color of her mother Wonder Woman.

@sentryman555 said: I'd be disappointed because it means, at least for a long while, she wouldn't be in the same universe as Nightwing and all them. Meaning they couldn't do some kind of crossover with her, Dick, Roy, garth, and wally. If the others ever get around to coming back themselves.....

She looks like Nemesis Mr Majestic's girl friend from the wildstorm universe but i think it's just a coincidence but I hope she's Lyta Trevor from the Golden Age and not Donna i hope she will still be wonder woman sister and why not twin sister it can be interesting.

Well based on the preview it seems that she is Lyta Hall, although she seems quite the grown up and her mother didn't seem that old when she died.

I would make more sense if it was Donna, since James has been keeping tight on her identity ever since her 'name' was revealed. That he's keeping tight and it's supposedly 'not who we think she is', leads me to assume it's not the original Fury.

Added with everything else James has done, it could end up being a mix of several characters

I think she must be blonde as Lyta Hall. That will make it different from Donna, or Wonder Woman. Maybe the same costume but with blond hair, and his red locks, would have been more original. Keeping some of its classic look.

I always felt that they should have had Donna Troy become Fury once she out grew being called Wonder Girl, like how Dick became Nightwing.

Donna and Wally have no traditional connections to earth 2 and maybe they have versions in earth 9 or maybe later on they will get reboot versions in the main earth ? Red Tornado android started in earth 2 and it does look like Red Tornado is being used in earth 2 nowadays. I also hope that in the future, they will also have a main earth version of Red Tornado.

It is supposed to look like an apokolips costume and it looks a little bit like one of the costumes of Big Barda who was originally working for Granny Goodness. Jack Kirby did both the new gods and the Thor characters so there would be many similarities.

How can Steppenwolf be on Earth 2 when he was present during Darkseid's invasion in the first arc of Justice League? Unless Earth 2's invasion took place after the Justice League's origin.

@Fantasgasmic: Actually I did read that it is Fury, but unless we have actual proof that the Fury they are speaking of here is Helena Kosmatos, then we just simply don't know who it is for certain . By now it should be evident to anyone that DC's New 52 has used that 'five year rule' to change things up however they want. I'm just putting my opinion out there. Yeah, it says its Fury and I acknowledge that, but is it Kosmastos? Who knows? Wouldn't put it beyond DC to make Donna Troy into Fury for the New 52 here.

she looks like donna not fury/lyta. this is heart two and the new 52 so they could easily make donna the daughter of earth 2 wonder woman. if they could make hawkgirl hispanic and alan scott gay, why not make donna wonder woman's daughter instead of sister? not that big of a difference and her powers would stay the same since they are basically the same. either way i'm happy to see either character though im rooting for donna. hopefully this issue will tell us who she is.
