Earth 2... 2
Blah blah controversy, moving on, lol.
THE GOOD
A great issue to continue from the explosive Earth 2 #1. Though the intro is a little murky, the following parts with Alan and Jay really set up how this world is going to go. The story hitting a lot of good notes, and the art does a great job of making sure everything stands out and looks great. Jay trying out his powers was humorous, and peoples reactions to it in a post-Apokolips invasion world certainly makes me laugh. Alan's portion of the story is touching, though a little mushy and cliche, but I hope the ending of it doesn't make a huge depressing story out of it.
The touch of green at the end, though, got me pumped, and I'm damn near praying Alan saves the day. Plus with the hints and introductions to future villains really has me happy that Earth 2 is another positive check in DC's list.
THE BAD
The intro with Mr. Terrific was... I was lost, I'll admit. Maybe its due to my lack of knowledge of Mr. Terrific, but I didn't understand him or the shady villain very well. Though towards the end of that portion, I got over it and was already hating the guy in the suit. Otherwise, everything else was really good.
THE VERDICT
While there was alot of expectations going into this issue, I left pretty pleased with it, and remains hopeful of both the creative choices in the series, and how they will play out. I recommend whole heartedly, lol
