It’s only been nine months since the whole DC continuity was reset and restarted from number one – in order to tie up all loose ends / multiple universes / etc and get everybody on the same page. Now, this week, sees the new launch of Earth Two. With DC treading these waters once more, editor Pat McCallum has been talking up the book, which hits shelves today…
“One of the great things about EARTH TWO is that while it’s very much plugged into the larger DC Universe, it’s also somewhat self contained. You can really cut loose with the storytelling and not sweat how it impacts other shared-universe titles. James Robinson and Nicola Scott, the creators on the title, have taken full advantage of that. So when things start to really hit the fan in Earth Two, they’re going to hit in jarring, unapologetic ways. Characters will die, landmarks will burn and the good guys won’t always save the day. Aside from entertaining readers, the goal of every issue is to make fans put it down and think ‘I can’t believe they just did that.’ It’s gonna be a fun ride…unless you’re in one of the parts of Earth 2 that’s on fire.”
