    NOT Your Daddy's "Earth-2"! (Or Mine Either...)

    The new "Earth-2" (and I use that term loosely) versions of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman:



    And a clevage-less Power Girl and The Huntress:



    (PG's new suit reminds me of the horrible one she wore post-Crisis when she thought she was the granddaughter of Arion, Lord of Atlantis....)

    Notice E2 Supes is also trunkless...and that Darkseid's Parademons seem to be invading that Earth as well...

        Althought the Silver Age fanboy in me likes the idea of JLA/JSA cross-overs again and Earth-2 having it's own Supes, Bats and WW...I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing this version of the Justice Society of America any time soon...



        Thank god for back issues!

          Apparently DC has had "issues" as of late with Power Girl's old peek-a-boo window cut-out that showed her, um, assets...

            Yet they'll make Starfire, a featured character on a children's cartoon (that still airs on Boomerang) a tramp, no problem.

            This is just...awful. Couldn't DC given us old fans SOMETHING? Like one comic?

            And why get George Perez to draw your book if you're going to colorize all his line work and make his stuff look like it came out of an electric coloring book!!!

              Ya Well ...., I got problems with DC Showing me the Characters Boobs for 27+ Years of Reading comics, then taking it away. I feel robbed or something.


              ... I notice how Huntress looks very similar to Jim Lee's Design's of the new suit in the old continuity, 2004-ish to current.

                I love how they introduced a new "Earth-2" after "Infinite Crisis"...only to do nothing with it other than one story arc in Johns' "JSA"...

                I love how they have top talent like Robinson, Levitz, Perez and Maguire on these books to draw people in and then they pull something like this...

                Make Mine Marvel!

                  Not to be a "comic-book pervert" or anything but Power Girl's rack isn't any bigger than the Huntress

                    Another reason I HATE this modern coloring approach....

                        I guess Kara was Supergirl & Helena was Robin on Earth2, judging from the "phantom" figures above them in the pic. Hate the new PG outfit with the "P" shield.

                          Looking at the designs again they all just look so over done...the seams and doodads look like something a junior high kid would draw, cramming in.. everything but the kitchen sink. Sometimes less is more...

                            You took the words right out of my mouth...they castrated his work.

                            I know we constantly sound like a bunch of old farts complaining all the time but I don't think you can ignore the number of folks that are expressing their dislike...hence the decrease in the number of sales.

                            Change for the sake of change with no thought or direction is pointless and destructive...and Change does not always equate to Creativity.

                            BLARGH!!!
                            Everyone is Entitled to MY Opinion...Your's, not so much!

                              I know...there's suppose to be a lot of cleavage showing off her "gi-normus" boobs!
