Next to Batman, this was probably my favourite series from the New 52 and was my introduction to the golden age heroes. Before Absolute Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman came along, I often viewed this as DC’s version of Marvel’s Ultimate universe.

I liked this series, even though it was dour. I liked the versions of the Earth 2 heroes and mostly liked how it ended. Convergence was a confusing time, but they got an end to their universe.

YES!!!! I’ve been wanting to learn more specifically about this version of Earth 2. Your videos are always so well-researched and entertaining, so I can’t wait for this!

As someone who doesn't like sports...this is a side of YT I had no idea existed (park takeovers and all that). Very informative video bro 👍🏿

Awesome. I always wanted to see someone else's (especially yours or Chris' from ComicTropes) view of Earth 2 saga. I believe it had a good start with killing off the Trinity and introducing "the New Golden Age" but it wasted the potential more and more with each story. Some ideas were a good rebranding of their classic origins like Jay Garrick getting powers from dying Mercury instead of drinking "hard water". Also some of the suits are very underrated (Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Flash, Atom Smasher, Val-Zod). Can't wait

Out of all the books from the New 52 era this series is one of the rare ones that I often wonder what could’ve been if James Robinson had the freedom he required to tell the story he had in mind. I liked Tom Taylor’s work after Robinson left the book but it felt like DC Editorial had it out to doom this series.

One of the few highlights from New52 for me. Went a bit off the rails when Robinson left.

Worlds Ends is a convoluted mess but the first New 52 Earth 2 run and Earth 2 society are great.

Wow, that's random. I literally just thought about this yesterday and how I'm surprised you haven't done one yet lol.

The New 52 Earth-2 started so interesting and then became derivative of itself, and then you could tell they just got bored. I'd have loved a story that just a straight forward: golden age Earth, without the trinity. Should've had them push back Darkseid's forces and then keep telling the stories of how this Earth moves on without the characters that became the heart of DC. In general the new 52 is just a big missed opportunity.
