Comic Of The Week: 10062012

This when's pick is DC Comics' Earth 2 #5. This title has consistently been a favorite of mine. The art is beautifully done. And the characterization of the "wonders" is excellent.

This version (so far) of the Justice Society is awesome: The Flash, Green Lantern, The Atom, and Hawkgirl. And their first villain is none other than Solomon Grundy. The reimagining of these characters is fun to read.

Grundy is not the mindless hulk we're used to. As an agent of The Grey, he is sent to purge the earth of all life so that the planet can be reborn. Humans' time on the earth is ending, as they've proven they cannot take care of it.

This title looks into the world as it experiences its second generation of heroes after the death of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman at the hands of Darkseid. The rise of these new heroes is really well done.

Pick up Earth 2 #5 at your local comic shop or digitally at www.Comixology.com. Enjoy.
