Earth 2 #32

As always the presence of the Thomas Wayne Batman is consistently all this reviewer needs to want to pick up this book and I can't wait for him to meet his son again in Convergence as we will see if he can truly be redeemed. It's troubling to me that there is a possibility that the characters that we care about most on Earth 2 might not make it out alive. The tension and drama of those facts is both great and powerful even if one can only wonder though if Thomas, Dick, Mr. Terrific, and otherswill be one of the many characters to lose their life on the Blood Moon or if some will even before.

While the art in this issue is great, it doesn't have an equally great story for this series to end on.  Yeah, it's just becoming Earth 2: Society but this title was really important to me and just having a throwaway story with a loose end tied up just left me wanting more. Read Full Review

And that's pretty much it. The issue hardly offers anything else, and it's a build up for the grand finale at the weekly series. Earth 2: The Society, the sequel to Earth 2, is going to debut in June, and hopefully that series will bring back the formal glory of Earth 2. Read Full Review

Overall: It's official: Earth 2 has been swallowed by the pedantic monstrosity that is World's End. It had a good run, and the first twenty-six issues are some of the most creative and fun arcs in the New 52. With the arrival of Convergence, I hope that we can get a fitting conclusion to this story. Read Full Review

Reading this issue has me less excited for the finale of World's End and more looking ahead to June, when the upcoming Earth 2: The Society series will hopefully even things out for this increasingly hectic franchise. Read Full Review

I used to really love this book back when James Robinson was world building helped by Nicola Scott. Back then, it even gave Justice League, with its high profile creators, a run for its money. Nowadays, this isn't even the best alternative world book, with Injustice Gods holding that title. After nearly three years, it's disappointing to see this book hasn't moved away from it's Apokolips attacks inception. Read Full Review

The art was gorgeous and the story although not terrible is not half of what it used to be during the early issues of Earth 2. It also sucks the World's End has sucked the life out of this book. I believe this is the final issue of Earth 2 and it will be re-branded as Earth 2 Society or some nonsense like that. It looks like the New 52 Earth 2 characters will take center stage in Convergence or at least according to the poster and possibly wipe away the old Justice Society to be replaced by the new versions of Dr. Fate, Jay Garrick's Flash, and Alan Scott's Green Lantern for a new Justice Society. It's gonna be weird but we'll see what happens.
