Tom Taylor is writing The Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent, with the first issue out tomorrow, featuring Val-Zod, the Superman of Earth-2.
Created by Martin Nodell, and first written with Bill Finger in 1940, Green Lantern was originally a mystically-based superhero, whose powers were derived from the flame of a magic lamp and he became an original member of the Justice Society Of America. When seen in the modern DC Universe, it would be as an elderly man.
The[...]
Humanoids, Inc., home of series like Metal Hurlant, the Incal, and Metabarons, has named comic retailer Jud Meyers their new Director of Sales & Marketing.
Two that may be very dear to people's hearts.
While they said that Justice League Of America and Super Sons would happen, even without mentioning creative teams there was no news of the previously announced Earth 2 and Gotham Academy: Next Semester.
Could these be the Mystic U and Dark Universe of the DC Rebirth?
Earth 2 especially[...]

Tonight on the Flash, Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon get to see what Earth-2 is like as the accompany Harrison Wells through the portal in an attempt to
And now the universes never went away…
And secondly, the planet is now the new Earth 2, raised to the ground and transported across dimensions So it might as well be any planet really.

If you are planning a trip to another dimension, it's always good to take some precautions. For example, take Earth Two in World's End #23, it might be
Mind you, I get the idea lots of things have changed.
Charatcers from Earth 2 will make up the main characters in the Convergence weekly, as Thomas Wayne, the current Batman of Earth 2 meets a version of his long dead son, Bruce Wayne.
And there is further confirmation of new eight page back up stories introducing the new June mini-relaunch[...]
So exactly what happened to the Earth 2 Superman and Batman… this is the story with the answers.
Death and destruction are increasing on Earth-2, and only the watchful eye of Batman sees how the patterns fit Can he persuade Superman to take precautions before the price becomes very personal?! We all know how it will[...]

There has been considerable concern expressed to me over the final page of last week's Earth 2: Worlds End weekly comic from DC Comics.
It features the Sikh character Amir Khan (admittedly with a Muslim surname, but this is a parallel world), a taking off in a space ship with a bomb that's wired to explode intending to[...]

Remember folks, he's not a valet,[...]
Going up?
Man, don't you hate it when watching TV and this happens? Batman Eternal shows the future of arrest via Skype.
Everyone wants to do Dark Knight again don't they? More of that later, but for now, Earth 2 does its best to recreate a classic scene…
Hellboy & The BPRD #1 goes back to the beginning[...]
To the extent that Aquaman was written as married – just without saying the words.
Well, today's Earth 2: Worlds End gives you another marriage that never happened Between Alan Scott, Green Lantern, and his boyfriend Sam, who was killed in the beginning of the monthly book.
They're just rubbing it in right now, yes?

A few changes 'twixt solicitation and publication that may be of note….
Danny Miki appears to be joining the credits for the upcoming DC weekly Earth 2 Worlds End according to the cover… But that's not Andrew Hope apparently Any ideas?

But what else? Well the Futures End series has already shown us that a war with Earth 2 took place, plenty of "refugees" ending up on Prime Earth as well as a bunch of superheroes, held prisoner by Cadmus Stormwatch and Green Arrow[...]

Futures End #4 shows us a future New York practicing full blown apartheid, between those from Earth One and those from Earth Two.
And for some reason, none of the superheroes seem to be particularly up in arms about this state of afairs.
The fallout from what we presume is the war between the two Earths coming up[...]

At the DC Comics panel at C2E2 today, Earth 2 artist Nicola Scott joked about sneaking in a "butt shot" of a certain Green Lantern Alan Scott in a recent issue of Earth 2, making it a male equivalent of the brokeback pose.
Could it be this one?
I don't know, Nicola There's a lot of shadow,[...]
