See all formats and editions

For the first time since their planet was destroyed, the citizens of Earth-2 finally see a path forward. But for some Wonders, it’s not enough. Not when there’s a chance to bring back what they’ve all lost: Earth itself. Fury, the daughter of Wonder Woman, has arrived with an Amazonian artifact called the Pandora Casket, which possesses the power to recreate the Earth that they’ve lost…or destroy the new one that they’re creating.

But the choice of whether or not to use the Pandora Casket might not lie with the Wonders. The Ultra-Humanite wants to create the world in his own image, and he’s engineered an army to take the artifact for him. These super-powered Humanites are strong enough to take on the Wonders.

Legendary writer Dan Abnett (AQUAMAN, TITANS) and artists including Angel Hernandez (Star Trek/Green Lantern) and Federico Dallocchio (SUICIDE SQUAD) bring massive changes to Earth-2 and the Wonders. Collects EARTH 2: SOCIETY #13-16 and EARTH 2: SOCIETY ANNUAL #1.

Editorial Reviews

Review

PRAISE FOR EARTH 2: SOCIETY VOL. 1

"There's a lot of room in which to build here, and Wilson's strong characterization makes for a promising start." --IGN

"Jimenez gives this book an edgy, angular, sci-fi influenced look that helps distinguish the Earth 2 setting in a way it never has before in the New 52." --IGN

About the Author

Dan Abnett lives and works in Maidstone, Kent. After graduating from Oxford, he worked for a while as an editor of comics and children's books before turning to writing full time. In the dozen or so years since then, he has written for such a diverse range of characters--including Scooby Doo, Thunderbirds, Conan the Barbarian, The X-Men, Johnny Bravo, Batman, Rupert the Bear, Dr Who, Mr. Men, The Terminator and Postman Pat--that he is now clinically bewildered. He created the popular series Sinister Dexter, which he continues to write, along with other strips, for 2000 A.D., and has helped rejuvenate RESURRECTION MAN for DC Comics.

This tale was intense. I couldn't put it down. This is such a refreshing reimagining of the Earth Two Universe. And, it ends on a cliffhanger! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Ultra-Humanite Attacks

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2017

I was hoping for big things with volume 3 given that volume 2 was enjoyable enough for me to give it a full five stars. I felt that Dan Abnett’s writing was a HUGE improvement over Dan Wilson and his change in direction for the series was much needed. Volume 2 also teased the appearance of one of my all-time favorite villains, Ultra-Humanite. Having now read it I would say that volume 3 is fine but nothing spectacular. The Ultra-Humanite has created a group of metahumans called the “Humanites” with the intention of stealing The Pandora Casket which holds the ability to reshape the world.

Much of the story revolves around Dick Grayson as Batman. Batman has a new design for his costume and it’s rather confusing and silly looking. There is a new piece to his helmet the extends down over his upper lip and looks very strange. The focus on Grayson was the best part of the story for me and I liked having a Batman with self-doubt and fallibility. The problem is I just didn’t find the rest of the story that compelling. The story was neither filled with things that annoyed me nor was there much that impressed me. It was all just *meh*.

There is no conclusion to the story and I hope it doesn’t go where I suspect it might be going in the next volume. Although I still think that Dan Abnett’s writing is an improvement over Dan Wilson it seems weird that Abnett seemed to be falling back on a storyline that Wilson used just two volumes prior. Wilson had his “Source Vault” which was capable or completely transforming Earth-2 and now Abnett introduces the Pandora Casket which has the same power. It’s like DC is obsessed with getting Earth-2 back to the way it was even though the dynamic of having only 3 million survivors on the Convergence planet is, in my opinion, the strength of the series. I’m not sure why the corpse of Pandora would have this power or how they knew it could do this. Maybe it’s buried in the story.

There were a couple of other little things that bothered me as a big comic nerd. First, Dick Grayson refers to his Earth as Earth-2 which seemed weird since I thought that people on Earth-2 generally just thought of it as Earth and not some secondary Earth. Second, why is Alan Scott calling his ring a weapon of OA? The ring of the Earth-2 Green Lantern was always a mystical artifact and recently it’s established that it’s power source is “the Green” but did Abnett make a mistake or did they change the origin of Green Lantern. I always liked that Alan Scott was unique in his universe rather than some member of a Corp.

I absolutely did not hate this volume but I feel it was a step backwards from volume 2. Earth-2 has a ton of potential but they need to stop trying to set things back to the way they were before Earths End and focus on the things that make the series different.

I have always been a huge fan of Earth-2 heroes, as well as some of the heroes from other Earths (Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters... anyone?)... I don't generally like the new 52, but I dislike this slightly less than the rest of the stinky pile that is the new 52. I am liking Rebirth so far, so I hope they get Earth-2 back on track as well.
