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.

I do not think it will be Barda, I do think her first new 52 appearance might be in Wonder Woman. At least I hope I am a fan of Barda and Mister Miracle so I do not really want to see them be in earth 2 would rather have the new gods be in the main universe.

I hope it's not Barda!!! If it is then it'll be just one MORE reason for me to despise Earth 2!!!!!!

LOL yeah I am not feeling Earth 2 as well. I read the first 6 issues and they did not really do it for me only new designed character I liked was Hawkgirl and I thought the first battle with Grundy was not done well and was even slightly boring at times. Oh well I think I will give the second storyline a shot in a trade maybe it will pick up?

I'm not sure I want this to be our new Donna, it's kind of against what I like about her from what I see here.

I wouldn't mind if it were Donna but 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.....

I am glad Fury, daughter of Wonder Woman is back. Infinity Inc was an old favorite of mine. I am not really sure if the bald guy is Steppenwolf or Dan Didio.

It's good to see that Fury is still Diana's daughter, so i'm guessing she's Lyta then (or maybe has a new name).

I really like this book. Every issue its fun to read these DC Heroes not shackled by long years of continuity. I know there was controversy because the JSA heroes were so classic but personally since I nver read much of JSA this book is a breath of fresh air for me. Every issue has been solid, I do hope Nicola Scott comes back. Robinson is killing it on this book.

my feelings exactly!

As for the JSA i prefer them as actual heroes of an actual world than the shadows of their past selfs that they were pre 52!

I have read my fair shair of JSA stories so i can say that i get the people who doesn't like the change!

@takuy: They know better? Them trying to arbitrarily boil everything down to a 5 year timeline implies otherwise. Also I don't see anything inherentley wrong with them making this Donna Troy, actually seems pretty interesting to me. And it cleans up her otherwise ridiculously convoluted character history

If it's Big Barda I swear to Shazam, Odin, and Zeus that I will make it my life's mission to destroy Earth 2!!!!!!! They've already annihilated all of the Golden Age characters to the point that they are recognizable only by name, but they won't be ruining Jack Kirby's greatest creation on my watch!!!!!

DC knows better, it would not be Donna. It's Hippolyta/Lyta aka Fury, the daughter of the Golden Age Wonder Woman - rebooted.

I don't like the art here. some of the faces look distorted. The normal artist returns in issue 9 wasn't it?
