Earth 2 #1
This volume collects the first six issues of the New 52 Earth 2 series, which reimagines DC's Golden Age characters in a modern context. Written by James Robinson with art by Nicola Scott, the story follows a world where the trinity of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman have fallen, and a new generation of heroes—including The Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl—must rise to defend their planet from an apocalyptic threat.
In "The Price of Victory," James Robinson and Nicola Scott launch Earth 2 with a high-stakes showdown where Flash, Hawkgirl, and Atom face off against Grundy, while Green Lantern breaks free from the Grey to intercept two nuclear missiles headed for Washington. The issue sets a bold tone as the heroes triumph, yet even in victory, Green Lantern’s refusal to join a team hints at deeper divisions among Earth’s defenders—cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.
