 Earth 2 #2 second print $3.50 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) James Robinson (A) Nicola Scott, Trevor Scott (CA) Greg Capullo MR. TERRIFIC - Michael Holt - lands on EARTH TWO! Don't miss the origin of the Earth Two FLASH - and the first time he uses his powers! What could be a bigger threat to Earth Two than APOKOLIPS? Jay Garrick is about to find out! Date Available: 07/04/2012 BONUS REVIEW by Gary Owens  DC is remaking its worlds, with some fanfare, but not in the way you expected. In this issue, we see a remake of the Flash and The Green Lantern (which was in the news, about his sexuality). For background, Earth 2 (not our Earth) has healed some from a massive war that was concluded in the first issue, and naturally more events are on the horizon. The cover explains what happens to the Flash, and there is a very interesting tidbit for Mr. Terrific, too. In any event, for people who have followed Earth 2 closely in the past, I admit I haven't and I don't mind this reboot. Continuity is important, but only to a point; sometimes trying to explain a "rollback" can cause more messes than just doing it, without explanation (Spiderman comes to mind, for me). I like the Flash here (it makes more sense, honestly), and the change for Green Lantern was too in-your-face. Normally they don't do this much stuff for heterosexual couples in comics...but I don't see this series reaching issue #100, so they need to show more in less space. I give this series a thumbs-up, as long as the writer doesn't try to rush through stories in the future. Continuity in having the same characters from issue to issue is crucial, it builds depth, and we haven't seen it here much. 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
