So I Read Today… Earth 2 #1

So! If you’ve kept with the news you may already know that the new 52 it’s about to go through the first batch of cancellations, not to worry though a few wild concepts are in the way to keep telling amazing stories in this brand new world. One of those tales is “Earth 2” what this name implies is the existence of a multiverse in the DC Universe. This is nothing new, since this has been a signature of the company for years, but since their continuity has been revamped (softly as themselves would say) It makes sense that the multiverse shows some new angles on his composition.

The story begins with the last big battle on earth where the trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) are fighting a losing battle against Steppenwolf and The Parademons, in a last effort Batman means to redirects the signal of the invading forces transmission towers to infiltrate their system with a virus meant to wipe them out, the attack is successful but it takes the life out the heroes and the protegees of Batman and Superman are sent to a new dimension (not telling you who they are, sorry!). A God called Mercury delivers the final message of Olympus to Diana before being vanished to the same place.

On the new earth an young man called Jay Garrick is being dumped pretty hard by his girlfriend who thinks he’s a dead end with no future. When the man finds himself alone with his thoughts a shining star drops from heaven, Jay has just found the God of Speed dying at his feet, requiring a suitable heir to his power and the stage is set for a new Flash to be born.

Earth-2 was a surprise for me, this book feels good, I’m always delighted with the group books in DC more than the solo ones. this one however feels like an anthology a book you’ll require to understand along the line of a much bigger story. With the pencils of Nicola and Trevor Scott the book has some of the most beautiful art I’ve seen in DC in a long time, Alex Sinclair does the honors on colors and the whole team pays a great compliment to the solid script of James Robinson. Go and grab a copy! you’ll enjoy it a lot!.
