Earth 2 #7- The title of this series is “Earth 2” and writer
James Robinson is slowly but surely showing why. Although anchored by new
version of the old JSA, Robinson’s vision is ultimately greater than that. Outside a small
interlude between Green Lantern and Hawkgirl, the issue focus mainly on the
conflict within the World Army. Not only
does this give the series a bigger stage, it also gave the issue a Secret
Warrior/SHIELD feel. This is especially the case when Amar Singh roped in The
Sandman for some espionage action against Sloan. Personally I enjoy this issue
a lot. The new development gave the series a totally new set of conflict within
the same world as Alan Scott and Jay Garrick and more importantly, it gave the
series the potential of new storylines that goes well beyond the regular
superhero fare we seen so far. It’s ambitious, daring, and Robinson has shown that
he’s not afraid to ruffle a few feathers. Pick this series up.
