For those that don’t know, the Second Wave of DC’s New 52 premiered today with a few titles including Worlds’ Finest (featuring Huntress and Powergirl), G.I. Combat (involving soldiers fighting dinosaurs), Dial H (about an average Joe using a mystical item to become a hero), and Earth 2 (a series about the parallel world of the normal DC Earth). These new titles, along with Ravagers and Batman, Inc., are replacing the six series that DC is phasing out including Hawk and Dove, Men of War, Mr. Terrific, OMAC, Blackhawks, and Static Shock. I’ve talked a lot about the New 52 in the past and am currently following several series, so I thought it prudent to give these new titles a look. Of the four out this week, Earth 2 #1 appealed to me most: who wouldn’t want to read about a world where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are heroes but don’t hold back on villains? How did this first issue hold out and how do things look for DC’s newest line of comics?
