Earth 2 #2
This collected edition gathers the first six issues of DC's 2013 Earth 2 series, which reimagines the classic Justice Society of America characters in a modern, alternate-universe setting. The story follows a world where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman have fallen in a catastrophic war, leaving a new generation of heroes—including The Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl—to rise and defend their planet. Written by James Robinson with art by Nicola Scott, this volume sets the stage for a bold new take on DC's second Earth.
In "A Hero's Tale," Hawkgirl makes one more attempt to rally Green Lantern to a cause he still resists, while Commander Khan is forced to work with the enigmatic Terry Sloan—despite his distrust. With Wesley Dodds and the Sandmen on the case, the search for Sloan’s true motives leads them to a shocking discovery: Mr. Terrific, compromised and under someone else’s control. Written by James Robinson and brought to life by Yıldıray Çınar’s dynamic art, with coloring by Alex Sinclair, Dave McCaig, Allen Passalaqua, and Lee Loughridge, and lettering by Dezi Sienty, this issue deepens the mystery of Earth 2’s fractured alliances. The cover by Nicola Scott and Trevor Scott captures the tension with striking precision.
In "A Hero's Tale" from Earth 2 #2 (2013), Terry Sloan stands at the heart of a war that could define the fate of Earth 2, facing the relentless tide of Apokoliptian parademons. As the battle rages, he makes a choice that tests the very soul of resistance, proving that even in the darkest hour, surrender is not an option.
In "Heaven Sent," Hawkgirl makes one more attempt to bring Green Lantern into a team effort, only to face his steadfast refusal. With tensions rising, Commander Khan is forced to work with Terry Sloan—despite his distrust—turning to Wesley Dodds and the Sandmen to uncover the truth. Their investigation leads them to Mr. Terrific, now under Sloan’s control, setting off a chain of revelations that threaten to unravel everything they thought they knew.
In "Lazy Sunday," Steppenwolf of Apokolips and his ally Fury, the daughter of Wonder Woman, carry out a deadly strike against King Marov, the ruler who once granted Steppenwolf sanctuary. The story unfolds with a tense, deliberate pace, focusing on the chilling execution of a political reckoning in a world where power and legacy collide.
In "The Tower of Fate, Part 1," Flash and Khalid are thrust into a perilous mission for Wotan, who holds Flash’s mother hostage, forcing them to navigate the treacherous heights of the Tower of Fate. Meanwhile, Green Lantern reaches out to Hawkgirl, desperate to uncover the truth behind the train explosion that took his partner Sam’s life.
In the heart of the Tower of Fate, the Flash races against time to hold back the Great Beast, buying precious moments for Khalid to seek the Helmet of Nabu and claim the mantle of Doctor Fate. Elsewhere on Earth 2, Steppenwolf’s enforcer Fury hunts for the hidden son of Highfather, unaware of the storm about to break.
In "The Tower of Fate, Part 3: The Man Who Was Fate," Doctor Fate and the Flash clash with the sorcerer Wotan in a battle that tests their resolve. Meanwhile, Green Lantern, awakened to the fight from afar in China, abandons Hawkgirl to join the fray—only to find himself reconsidering his stance on teaming up with other heroes. As the dust settles, the threat isn’t over, and a new danger looms.
