First Look: EARTH 2 #5

Earth 2 has amazing artwork

I wish Alan could have his old costume but without the mask. Don't want to hide his handsome face.

Oh god yes!! I've been wondering what felt missing, a great big purple cape would fit nicely!

Really? You want the gay character of all people to have a PURPLE cape?

How did Flash make the Atom fall down? This is on my pull list.

Earth 2 is such a good and awesome book, and one of my most looked forward to every month.

This looks cool and I hope there'll be a volume of these issues or whatever. I quite like Alan Scott's costume but it is lacking one major thing in my view, an epic cape!

My favorite book in the New 52. I just want to see some constructs already.

Me too.

Been loving the story so far not to mention great art. If I had to have a complaint im not crazy about Grundy's redesign, definitely a top 5 comic for me and something that will always be on my pull list.

@Psycho_Soldier: I really hope to see another Earth 2 title as well, its been such a fresh take on it so far. Maybe a direct spinoff maybe something new, either way I'd give it a chance.

Alan Scott... <3 crush.

It just donned on me: Earth 2 should have Mr. Majestic. It'd keep Superman relevant on Earth 0 and it'd make me happy to have Majestic somewhere.

Yes, Please!!!!! Thats what Ive been saying, bring us Mr. Majestic!!!

@ThanosIsMad: I have to agree with you here, I also miss Majestic and maybe they should place him on Earth 2 since Superman on Earth 2 died (In a stupid way) The heroes of Earth 2 will need a Superman in some way so why not bring in Mr. Majestic? I like that idea plus it changes things up a little and hopefully Earth 2 is NOT just about reimagend Earth 2 heroes but some new heroes also.

I need to start reading this.

I was already digging the book, but the issue where Jay Garrick was intro'd sold me totally. The part where he transformed in the alley was just pure classic goodness.

Love Earth-2, hands down my favorite thing DC is putting out. Can't wait to see Doctor Fate, Sandman, and Wildcat show up - not to mention some of the classic Earth-Two villains.

I'm really diggin the earth 2 thus far.

Yeah! Alan VS. Grundy!

So looking forward to this! Ready to see these guys take on Grundy! Is it Wednesday yet??

You know what I find funny? The way the Atom's head is drawn, he almost looks like Beachhead from GI Joe.

I love this Grundy!!!

I love that last panel. I know some people have a problem with the art in this book but I love it. Probably my surprise hit of the New 52.

The designs are good, art great, still on da fence, but Grundy may be enough

I'm loving Grundy's necromancy abilities and thought processes. But who in the name of Cyrus Gold decided to make him into Pinhead's rape buddy?! That outfit makes me sick!

The art has been outstanding in every issue! It has been a great read so far really looking forward to this

Gonna have to check this one out.

@jurrysnow: You should do it anyway lol, it really is a great book!!! You can always catch up to a Marvel Now story arc later... Do it! Do it! lol

Really interested in this story!

can't wait to pick this up, love the series so far!

Great series! Though it looks like the art took a bit of a dip in this issue...

Earth 2 = Awesome, I love the fact that they didn't want to use multiple heroes with the same name in one world. So they created an entire world for the other heroes to play around with. Their not bound by the logic, "Oh why isnt Superman here to stop this?" There is no Superman in this world so these heroes have to just rely on themselves

The art looks fantastic. This series has been fairly good so far and I hope that this issue improves so we can start getting one of the best series of the New52

Dang I want to check this out sooooo bad! But then i'll just add it to my pull and, well, I can't really afford that with marvel now coming. And even with marvel now i can only choose a few titles. uuuuggghhhh

R they gonna add more charatcers to the book? Btw this book is good read.

I love this book!

you said it!

is that alan, in kyle's costume?

Is that ARROW ad really going to be on the cover of that final comic, or is that just for the benefit of the preview? Ads on the cover are kind of gross.

@Aiden Cross: its not Hal its alan scott...just for future purposes

NEAT! Hawkgirl looks AWESOME! Such a humongus improvement over the last couple of hawkgirls. Still not sure about Flash. Pre-52 Jay Garrick is my number 1 most favorite comic character of all, so I don't know about the changes to him. We'll see.

@zackattack529: Hhh lets hope they dont turn the Flash too , then he will be the fastest gay alive.

Dunno why, but I'm strangely diggin' GL's, Flash's and Hawkgirl's costumes... :P

Flash has come across as an idiot since the second issue. like slow in the head, no pun.

@deadpool25mm: Yaa, i kind of got over the fact that they did that...now what buggs me more than ever is, since his previous lover died...now who is going to become his new innnevitable boyfriend..i hope they don't turn another one of the JSA like jay, or the atom, gay so they could accommodate yet another controversial cash grab. "Like hey we support gay marriage too! " I hope alan stays single for a long time and if he does find love i hope it's just a normal character or not anyone major that was previously straight.....but I know james robinson will so no point in hoping

Still hate the fact that they made Scott gay. who knows what will be next in comics....

Great series and can't wait for this issue.

DC needs to be getting more Earth 2 related titles going. This looks amazing. This is a New 52 success in my mind.

Earth 2 will probably be better in one book under one writer. That way different story arcs could focus on different characters in different parts of the universe, like Young Justice, but with the focus on all heroes instead of the young hereos and the occasional adult. If anything, it should only expand to two titles and Robinson should write both to keep it as cohesive as possible.

@ComicMan24: That's what i was thinking ;p

@Aiden Cross said:

Hal and Jay are certainly showing their 'assets' ;p

This is an answer to all those saying that only women are drawn like this! CHECK THIS PEOPLE!!! :P

Hal and Jay are certainly showing their 'assets' ;p

this book is great. Looks like they're stepping up GL in terms of power.

Looks like Kyle Rayner's lantern symbol to me! Scott looks cool though.
