First Look: EARTH 2 #5

Hawkgirl, The Flash and Green Lantern take on Solomon Grundy

We're pretty big fans of James Robinson and Nicola Scott's EARTH 2 series and we've been anxiously awaiting the moment where the characters that have been introduced finally come together in the fight against Grundy. If you've been reading the series you know that Robinson has been gradually bringing these characters together; taking the time to introduce them to one another and focus on their respective origins. Now, the characters will be given a chance to come together as a team so fight a common enemy and it won't be easy.

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

Have to say, if I ever start reading comics again, I am definitely checking this book. Btw that look on Jay's face when he sees GL, maybe a new romance in the making? ;) lol

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!

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.

@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

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.

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.

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

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!
