Any Good Earth 2 stuff

[spideyrules99]

Can anyone tell me if there are any good Earth - 2 or other Earth trades out there any where. I would love to read up on the pre Crisis stuff.

Thanks.

There are four Crisis on Multiple Earths TPBs out right now, collecting all the JLA and JSA team ups from pre Crisis.

[Paul Newell]

There's the Crisis on Multiple Earths trades, four volumes, plus Crisis on Multiple Earths: The Team ups Vol 1.

Upcoming is Justice Society of America Vol 1, reprinting half of the All-Star revival from the 70's, the Power Girl trade, containing her origin from Showcase and DC just announced a Huntress trade which will collect the Earth-2 Huntress' solo stories.

That's pretty much it for now.

Eh ?! When has E2 Huntress ever had a solo title other than the one time she was introduced in dc superstars (i think) ?

I think she did appeared as one of the side feature in batman family , but i don't recall anything else other than her appearance on batman family , brave and bold , those JLA/JSA teamups and the short lived JSA series.
She also played a big part in the America vs the JSA mini series i guess.

If you want to read about E2 superman , definitely check out DC comic presents annual 1 featuring earth 1, 2 & 3.

Earth 1 & 2 superman teams up with Earth 3 Lex Luthor vs Earth 1 & 2 Lex Luthors & Earth 3 CSA Ultraman. Awesome stuff ! Probably the only comic that features the father of Alex Luthor before crisis.

A great story about the wizard making superman dissapear for 1 year (much like the current oyl), leaving only the clark kent identity as superman has anmesia.

There isn't a trade, but I highly recommend the first ten issues of Infinity, Inc. This series features the sons, daughters and other legacies of the classic JSA, fighting crime as Infinity, Inc. The opening arc brings back some great villains, and pits the younger heroes against some of their mentors.

Paul chose his words carefully. He didn't say she ever had a solo series, as in "her own monthly title." He only said she had "solo stories," way back when. Stories where she wasn't teaming up with the JSA to get the job done. Most of them were published as a regular backup feature in the pages of the Pre-Crisis "Wonder Woman" title.

Here's a copy of the solicitation I saw:

THE HUNTRESS: THE DARKNIGHT DAUGHTER TP
Writer: Paul Levitz
Artists: Joe Staton, Steve Mitchell, Bob Layton, Bob Smith, Bruce Patterson, Jerry Ordway and Mike DeCarlo
Collects DC SUPER STARS #17 and stories from BATMAN FAMILY #18-20, WONDER WOMAN #271-287, 289-290 and 294-295
$19.99, 224 pages

The main thing that bothers me about this is that I think I own just about all of those, except for her very first appearance in DC Super Stars #17. Do I really want to spend twenty bucks just to add a reprint of that single story to my collection?

[BoosterBronze]

The whole series is out on DVD, and Clancy Brown is great in it.

Wait... wrong Earth 2.

[Zero Hunter]

I just bought the Crisis on Multiple Earths volumes 3 and 4 and have been loving them. Those two are especially good because not only do you get the Earth 1 JLA and the Earth 2 JSA you also get the Seven Soliders of Victory of Earth 2, the Freedom Fighters of Earth X, and Captain Marvel and the marvel family of Earth S. And to top it all off they even through in the Legion of Super Heroes in one team up.

You would be better off getting DC Superstars itself.

Especially as you also get the story of the Legion's first case and Green arrow's origin. The lateer by Mike Grell. :)

Oh yeah , i forgot about her backup feature in wonder woman. Strange that they are putting her appearances in TPB , was there a demand for her ?!

I think not so much her, but Earth-2 stuff in general.

I have one of them. It is got Allen Scott GL. It is pretty good.

If they want earth 2 stuffs , they should do a TPB of All star squadron. :)
You got the JSA and then some .

Well I'm hopin'. :)
Someone more knowledgeable could tell, but I think, of the "series" of trades they have so far there should be another 3 Crisis on Multiple Earths, another COME: Team Ups and a JSA volume.

After that its pretty much All-Star Squadron and Infinity Inc next in line.

whats strange is that you should actually read Crisis on M.E. The Team-Ups vol. 1 before the regular C.O.M.E. books

Well just the first three stories. Everything else in that volume happens after JLoA #21-22. But I know exactly what you mean, I felt the same way. :)
