There's more politics in this volume and way too much text. Also too much focus on fantasy and magic that I always thought were a bad fit for superhero comics. I barely remember who the heroes are any more. The story was pretty PG-13 in the first volume. Now it leans toward kindergarteners with gorgeous artwork, but crappy plot. The story's only purpose it to bring Dr. Fate into the mix.The heroes have gone to ground after their recent victory. The World Council is moving ahead right on track. A...

Magic. I hate magic. ..stories.

Mandatory side note: I got my copy from Goodread’s First Reads. Good art and writing combine to give readers new versions of the big names we already know, complete with new origin stories and a completely messed up world. This volume jumps right into the action and never really lets up. It’s one thing after another in a rollercoaster ride of emotions and plot twists that kept me turning pages to see what could possible happen next. The introduction of Dr. Fate is my favorite of all the Earth 2

A direct continuation of Earth 2, Vol. 1: The Gathering, this one picks up where the first left off. It also introduces Doctor Fate and Wotan, the next villain to show up on the scene. There's also a cameo of Mister Fantastic, which is likely setting up the next story arc. There's also a surprise sidekick for Steppenwolf...

Lots of action in this one, but the time jumping is throwing me off. Overall, this is a pretty cool series, even though, personally, the multiverse gets annoying after a while.

Still doing pretty good. I don't feel any more attached to the cast than I did in the previous volume, but at least Jay doesn't act like a stalker in this volume. I was more interested in the addition of Fury (Wonder Woman's daughter) than in Doctor Strange, sadly. Also looking forward to the proper introduction of Mister Miracle and Big Barda. Does this mean that they won't really be playing much of a role in the main DC universe?

Strictly B-team, in both lineup and story.

Entertaining but odd title. Hasn't come close to engaging me yet but has it's moments.

There's a part of me that wanted to give this 5 stars, but I'm biased. Because of the characters in the book I'm invested in it very much, but objectively, it's not that great. The writing is actually pretty awkward and forced. No one is all that likable. The whole motivation for most of the heroes is pretty far from concrete. They all continue to vacillate between determination and selfishness and the greater good. The villains so far have been a little weak, though it's clear they are building...

I did a reread, because when I reviewed this last year, I was having technical difficulties. *cough*Anyway.I still really liked this one, so I'm letting my rating stand. I will say that in the coming volumes these characters fell by the wayside a bit.Which sucks. I liked the Earth 2's Dr. Fate, Hawkgirl, Flash, & Green Lantern. I mean, they don't disappear, but other characters kind of take over the storyline. Still. I think Tower of Fate does a good job with these guys.The majority of this one

Earth 2 quickly went downhill after the first volume. Hawkgirl is revealed to be a treasure hunter who got her wings while digging in a pyramid, she teamed up with Green Lantern to uncover why they are getting their powers. Green Lantern went back to China to find out why his dead lover was killed, The Flash uncovered an old feud between good and evil while escaping from the clutches of the World Army (an EU like organisation), at the same time awakened Doctor Fate. In other plots, Steppenwolf t...

The team is taken form but still uncertain who will lead... I got this on its single issues, but I will do the review on its TPB option to be able to do a better overall review about the whole story arc.In this TPB is included the issue #0 that DC Comics published after several issues in a month event where each active title published a #0 issue telling some unknown events ocurred "before" of how each title began. Here, you get a wider view of the events when the "Wonders": Superman, Batman,

Hmm, the artwork was well, made me enjoy the book more. I enjoyed the new look on Dr. Fate, and his origin as well. It was also impressive seeing the objectives of Terry Sloan, aka Mr. 8, which gave me some more sympathy for him despite him being a villain. This also gave us a flashback on the war with Apokolips and Earth 2, making me glad to see the original trio in action. It was interesting to see how Green Lantern finally joins up with Flash and Hawkgirl in order to help the new Dr. Fate tak...

The 2nd volume of the Earth 2 series continues just as strongly as the original volume. We get to see more background on the major players in the story. We are granted a look into the motivations of the Lex-Luthor like Terry Sloan. This issue also introduces us to the origin stories for Mr Terrific, Hawkwoman and Dr. Fate.Steppenwolf and the surviving parademons have taken over a small country. The World Army wants the Unaffiliated wonders to join them. A powerful and ancient magus named Wotan s...

I got this book free from GoodReads FirstReads. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started reading, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it an interesting spin on the super heroes, but it also has nice artwork. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman are in the first part of the book. Opal kryptonite is very interesting. I would like to see some more about that. Then the story switches to focus on Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and the Flash with some help from Doctor Fate. I would like to

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths ReviewsMuch better story than volume one, in my opinion. Lots of interesting and mysterious stories going on everywhere you look. Several diabolical bad guys; some purely evil, some who might not be. Our good guys are not just fighting, but dealing with personal issues as well as attempting to learn to be heroes. And we have the introduction of one of my personal favorites: Doctor Fate — a character that never gets enough love.Equally important to this story is...

DC's "New 52", Second Wave (I believe). In the New 52 continuity, Earth 2 was the home of a Justice League years earlier than whatever-designation-Earth for the main universe. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were lost in the last days of an occupation of Earth by Darkseid, while Supergirl and Robin were transported to the main universe as well. Now, new "Wonders" are appearing -- a young Jay Garrick Flash, Hawkgirl, The Atom, a young OG Green Lantern.And now, they are joined by Doctor Fate.Gor...

What a bloody good book! This volume was one hell of a page turner from front to back. I'd never known much about the golden age heroes before reading this other than what they looked like, but they are really coming to life in this. The main story focuses mainly on The Flash and Doctor Fate. Jay Garrick is showing some great character growth, becoming the hero he was born to be. We get a first glimpse of Doctor Fate in this book and it was worth the wait. Everything about his character was done...

Disclaimer: I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway on the premise that I would review it.Some background first, for our younger readers. Back in the 1940s, National Comics (which would become DC) decided to promote some of their lesser-known characters by putting them in a group, the Justice Society of America. These characters would have a meeting, split up into separate stories, then band together at the end to face a common menace. This was the first full-fledged superhero team. Eventua...
