Val-Zod finally joins in the fight, and Jay Garrick plays a major role as new aspects of his power are revealed in the battle to save Earth 2 from the Bedlam-controlled, “Brutaal” former-Superman. But, are the best efforts of the Wonders too late? That, and much more are found in this action-packed issue of EARTH 2!

This issue of EARTH 2 has a theme of resurrection – in more ways that one. A hero returns, another learns his way, and the “resurrected hope” may have the key to any chance our Wonders have of survival!

The returning hero is revealed in the first pages…Alan Scott is once again saved (or this time, resurrected) by the green flame. His teammates are unaware of this so far, as events elsewhere are ready to unfold quickly. Young Jimmy Olsen of Earth 2 (only 13 years old on this Earth) is starting to figure out some of the meanings of Doctor Fates ramblings…including the identity of the person identied as the “resurrected hope”…and no, it isn’t Alan Scott. As the Kryptonian starts to gain power, the group is attacked – and that sets up the twist at the end that may finally turn this battle around…but for that we’ll have to wait until next issue.
Tom Taylor is an excellent storyteller, and this issue is no exception. There are a number of events going on simultaneously, but it doesn’t look forced – everything is blending well into the main plot. The art as always is outstanding – I love Nicola Scott’s pencils, Trevor Scott’s inks and Pete Pantazis’ color work. Jay Garrick fans will need to wait just a bit longer to see him in this story…but fans of these Wonders should be happy with another great issue of EARTH 2.
With Earth 2’s Superman under the control of Darkseid, is there any hope for Earth 2? Destruction is all around and the Wonders appear thoroughly defeated. But, the fight isn’t over yet – in fact, it may be just beginning in this issue of Earth 2.

Things are looking very bad for the new generation of Wonders. With Superman now under control of Darkseid’s forces, there’s not much any of our heroes can do to stop them…at least that’s how it seems. There is a new Batman in town…and a New 52 Red Tornado with an interesting personality. But, so far they have not been able to stop this Man of Terror. Now that the World Army is in shambles and the Wonders are beaten down, what else could possibly go wrong? That’s where we pick up with the latest issue of Earth 2!

At the end of last issue the REAL threat to Earth 2 was revealed to be…none other than that world’s Superman, now under the control of Darkseid! But, if you think the revelations stop here…think again. Tom Taylor ably picks up where James Robinson left off with the Wonders of Earth 2!

The battle is on with Steppenwolf and his forces. Can even the new Wonders of Earth 2 stand against this threat? Things aren’t looking so good for our heroes, as James Robinson pens his last issue of Earth 2. This issue has more action than all the previous issues combined…and the reveal at the end is a HUGE shocker!
