After Earth 2 #1 I was not quite satisfied and told myself to give it one or two more issues. Well after reading issue #2 without hesitation it has been added to my pull list. This arc starts to build and develop the characters that will be involved in this series. It begins with a confused Mr.Terrific teleporting in and being approached by a man who intends to kill him all while the surroundings inform you it is five years past since issue one where Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and many more gave up there lives to save the world. Meanwhile the Flash is getting his powers from a god and Alan Scott is returning from a trip to meet up with his boyfriend Sam.

The plot to this issue is much more involved then the last issue, more happens in one page then most whole issues. With that within just a few pages you are growing to love these characters. The story moved fast and left us with many interesting excursions.

Each character was written well and very realistically. When the Flash was speaking to Mercury he kept falling back to “we need to get you to a hospital” rather then just accepting what he was being told. As far as Alan Scott, he spoke like a true businessman and the wonderful relationship we see him in truly felt real. The dialogue alone could sell this book.

The art was exciting and bold and fit the fast passed strong story it was portraying.

The book was a great length, but like I said before much was told with few pages so you really are getting a lot of story in this single issue.

I would say you could easily read this without reading issue one and not really be all that lost, it may even be more enjoyable to do such being you will piece what happened together simple by the news casts going on in the background.

This issue was great, one hundred times stronger then the first issue, the characters were written in a way that they sounded real and the amount of cliffhangers and explosive art made this issue more than amazing, I have not one negative thing to say. (9/10)
