Earth 2 #11 !!!

Earth 2 #11 was good. We get to see the re-birth of Dr. Fate. We see the Flash and Khalid make their way through the Tower of Fate. While the Flash’s mother and Wotan talk over Wotan’s backstory. The Flash ends up fighting the monster in the tower and eventually Dr. Fate appears after some soul searching from Khalid.

Earth 2 Issue #10 Tower of Fate Begins!

Earth 2 #10 or the Tower of Fate Begins.  This was an interesting story as in this comic; we get a little more background on the Earth 2 Dr. Fate as well as Hawkgirl and the new person who can wear the helm of fate.  We also follow Green Lantern for a few pages where he continues to mourn for his lover.  The main villain Karel Wotan kidnaping Dr. Fate, the Flash and the Flash’s mother.  With the mom as hostage the heroes would go into the Tower of Fate in order to claim the helm of Fate and all the power it contains.  The journey through the tower was artistically interesting in an Escher like effect of weird dimensions.  The issue ends with a great shot of the Great Beast of the tower – a well-drawn demon looking thing.

Ame-Comi Girls #5

Ame-Comi Girls #5 Featuring Supergirl.  Was kind of disappointing, while we see some of Supergirl’s backstory it is not complete and nowhere near the detail given to Superman’s backstory.   The writers seemed much more interesting in placing the female characters into positions the reveal their crotches and breasts than advancing a story.  At least this is the issue where yes Brainiac reveals her plan to destroy the world and she has been preparing to fight Supergirl.  I gather there is some backstory as to how or why Braniac knew there were Kryptonians on Earth but as the story is told it is a weak story.  At least we now have all the main and some of the second string supers assembled for the big old invade Earth fight.  Oh well. 

Comcis! DC Comics!

I am finally getting to some of last week’s comic books.  DC Comics Earth 2 started out great, but the current issue (number seven) had a noticeable lack of super heroes or action.  If the comic continues this slide in to X-men like whiny talking between the Hero and Villain (we know he is the villain from issue zero) I am going to drop this book.  It is a shame because I have so far really liked the different “wonders” and how different they are from what the Heroes are like in the main line DC Universe.

Worlds’ Finest Huntress / Power Girl number seven is entertaining.  This series has been good from issue one (even if a bit disjointed).  I really like the current story with the Robin (Damian Wayne) the interaction with the Huntress’s other world family could have been sappier and I am glad it was not.  It will be interesting to see if our worlds Batman has noticed or figured all this out yet.  I am kind of interested how Batman and Huntress meeting would be handled by the writer.
