The bells of war ring loudly as Green Lantern, The Flash and Doctor Fate attack Steppenwolf head on— with the future of Earth 2 hanging in the balance!

[Azrael]

This month's issue of Earth-2 gives readers a bit more with the wonders, particularly Dr. Fate, Mister Miracle and Big Barda. But the issue falls a bit flat in places, and the climax, while interesting, loses its punch over the course of the issue.

Even after the excessive amount of time he spent on Wotan in the previous issue, James Robinson still puts a lot of effort into Wotan's story here, the final piece of which is more like a period at the end of a long paragraph. The focus on Wotan takes time away from Khalid and his quest to get the helm of Dr. Fate, and when he finally does don the costume, the moment doesn't land as well as it should.

Much of the issue bounces to secondary characters, but these moments act as reminders -- place holders of the characters' movements -- rather than having a significant impact on the story. The comic has a neat twist in the end, and Khalid's reason for donning Dr. Fate's helmet is nicely tied in with the man Garrick is becoming, but the shift towards other characters breaks up the fluidity of the story, and the issue becomes choppy rather than smooth.

While Alex Sinclair and Pete Pantazis provide some nice colorization, nothing in the art really jumps out at me like the previous issue. Nicola Scott's labyrinthine Tower of Fate design has all but disappeared, so the setting lacks the same complexity we've seen before. Dr. Fate's appearance makes up for this though, as pencillers, inkers and colorists work together to create a gorgeous final page.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the second arc of Earth-2 is suffering from the "sophomore slump," but Wotan hasn't really done anything, and much of the story is taken up by conversation rather than action. Still, I'm curious to see how Mister Miracle and Big Barda play into the next arc as Robinson is clearly setting up a showdown involving Fury and Steppenwolf.

In the meantime, Robinson is expanding the DC universe in creative ways, even if they are a bit weak in their delivery.

Che figa che sembra sta serie! Oltre all'Hardcover c'é già anche il Paperback? 
Mi ispiara molto ma mi spiace che i personaggi non siano quelli Golden Age 

[Mr. Seven]

Questa serie l'ho seguita per un po', non è affatto male.
Certo, è spudoratamente la versione Ultimate della JSA, senza se e senza ma.

E io poi mi son detto, ma non era meravigliosa la vecchia JSA di Johns? Sia la prima che la seconda serie?
Non era meraviglioso il concetto stesso dietro la JSA, ossia il concetto della legacy?
Così mi sono stufato di seguirla: a me, i "vecchi" Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Wildcat e soci mancano eccome.

Allora io che ho sempre preso per i fondelli quelli della Dc soprattutto quelli di terra-2 per i costumi ridicoli eccetera... Robinson mi ha fatto apprezzare questa parte dell'universo Dc e ripresentandola con un originalità incredibile... e ti assicuro che non c'entra un fava con l'universo ultimate che seguo e apprezzo quindi...
Adesso questo è il New 52 e invece di mandare tutto al macero e tenere li in un cantuccio oscuro del passato, dei personaggi e una serie che (come ha dimostrato Rob) avevano del potenziale, l'hanno sfruttata... e amio dire hanno fatto bene.
