Weekly EARTH 2 Series Announced

DC is about to deliver a whole lot more from the alternate universe!

DC recently unleashed the weekly Batman series, BATMAN ETERNAL, and now they're bringing forth another weekly series! EARTH 2: WORLD'S END will also release every week, and there's plenty of writers working on the title: Tom Taylor, Daniel H. Wilson, Paul Levitz, Marguerite Bennet, and Mike Jonhson. As for the artwork, Eddy Barrows, Jorge Jimenez, Stephen Segovia, Paulo Siqueira, and Tyler Kirkham will bring the story to life with their visuals. The weekly series won't come out until this October, but a fantastic image by Ben Oliver has been released to help build the excitement.

No Caption Provided

There's a fair amount going on in Oliver's picture, isn't there? Will you give this weekly title a shot, Viners? Let us know below!

This.

Plus don’t get me wrong, but why Val-Zod wearing House of El logo and not some unique only for him symbol?

Who's the new Superman? I really like his design, but does anyone know who he is?

He was recently introduced as Val-Zod. His design is exactly the same as MoS with different colors or is it just me.

It does looks similar to the design from Mos...but I still like it. The white cape instead of red as well as the white "S" looks really cool.

They are probably gonna take away the current series and World's Finest and put this in it's place.

I like the idea of weeklies, but I can't get into all of this. I was on the fence about Futures End, but if it ties into yet another weekly I'm gonna pass on it. Two I can do, three is too much.

Jeez, Batman, fine, no problem, weekly series is cool for his 75 birthday. I just wish that they would plough some of these creators on to some of the floundering titles rather than the amount of effort that must go in to a weekly. Is earth 2 in need of a weekly? Is there really too much to fit in to the monthly on-going?

I think the main E2 title and Worlds Finest are gonna get cancelled so the weekly can take place. I actually sure of it.

They're pretty much corralling all their writers who work in the same corners of the DCU, putting them together, and giving them a book to all write together. It's pretty awesome actually. Now we need some sort of Lantern/Cosmic weekly...

Isn't the thing we have now exactly that :-P

I mean the lantern titles are in a constant crossover.

As I said to the other thread about this :

"As weird as it sounds, weeklies are gonna be a nice addition to mainstream comics.
They can feature multiple characters(and explore some B or C listers in them), the story can progress quicker since monthlies are too slow. They allow time and space for more universe building(something DC truly needs right now).
Of course they are easy to go wrong without solid creative teams(look Countdown) but DC really seems to believe in this project, ending multiple titles and gathering nice creative teams of new writers and fan favorites of old, to secure success.

Plus weeklies has already shown they have potential, 52 may be the best event since today!"
