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.
In "The Price of Victory," the heroes of Earth-2 fall in a devastating war against Apokolips, their deaths leaving a world in ruin and their legacies in the balance. With Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and even the gods gone, the seeds of a new era are sown—though the path forward remains uncertain.
In "Age of Wonders," Michael Holt finds himself stranded on Earth 2, where a mysterious figure named Terry Sloan seems to know everything about him. As the world teeters on the edge of chaos, a dying Mercury bestows super-speed and a new costume upon Jay Garrick, while Alan Scott and his partner Sam are caught in a deadly explosion aboard a train in Hong Kong.
In "Jade Knight," Alan Scott awakens to a mysterious green force that grants him extraordinary power, setting him on a path to confront injustice. Flash crosses paths with Hawkgirl, a seasoned hero already active in the shadows, as a new threat surfaces in Washington DC.
In "End Times," Flash, Hawkgirl, and Atom fight the relentless Grundy as Green Lantern breaks free from the Grey’s control, using his power ring to stop two nuclear missiles and send Grundy to the moon. With the immediate threat over, Hawkgirl and Flash propose forming a new team of heroes, but Green Lantern declines—leaving their future uncertain.
