Earth 2 #4
This volume collects the final chapters of the New 52 Earth 2 saga, as the world descends into chaos following the death of Superman and the rise of the apocalyptic forces known as the Dark Age. The Wonders—including Batman, Wonder Woman, and a new generation of heroes—must confront the corrupted Superman clone and the true nature of the world-ending threat. Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by various artists, this trade paperback concludes the initial Earth 2 storyline before the series transitioned into Earth 2: World's End.
In "The Dark Age, Part 1," a fractured legacy takes center stage as Thomas Wayne—secretly alive after his original death—finally confronts his son Bruce, only to be rejected. Years later, after Bruce’s passing, Thomas assumes the mantle of Batman on Earth 2, driven by grief and a need to honor his son’s legacy. Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Robson Rocha, with inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Pete Pantazis, and letters by Dezi Sienty, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Doug Mahnke.
