Looks nice. As I expected, this will be the origin of Mr. Terriffic--Robinson seems to be doing one origin per issue so far in this series. My initial thoughts:

- The art looks OK, although I'm disappointed it's not Nicola Scott doing the pencils. Her art is good, but is she the type of artist who needs a break every so often in order to maintain a regular schedule? Just curious how often we'll see a fill-in artist on this book.
- No insights on who the mystery "8th Hero" is from the preview, other than a hint that he/she has something to do with the Apokolips war.
- Wonder if this will be put before or after issue #1 in the first Earth-2 collection?

I wouldn't be surprised if the "8th Wonder" turns out to be Steppenwolf. It fits Darkseid's MO

(I probably should have said "Unknown Wonder")

I miss Nicola, but this art is pretty as well.

I believe that Robinson said that there'd be a couple of one-shots to give Nicola a break after the first arc. The first arc was initially 5 issues but I think it's been stretched to 6 to extend the Grundy/Alan Scott fight. I believe the one-shots were gonna focus on Hawkgirl and the Atom respectively. Plans change all the time so this plan could have changed.

The eighth wonder is Terry Sloan, the golden age Mister Terrific.

I'm more keen to see who numbers six and seven are. I'm assuming Doctor Fate and The Spectre, but I've been wrong before.

1. Superman
2. Wonder Woman
3. Batman
4. Robin
5. Catwoman
6. Supergirl
7. ?
8: Mr. 8 (Terry Sloan)

From the way its stated in the preview, it lists the Wonders as:
1. Superman
2. Wonder Woman
3. Batman
4. Robin
5. Catwoman
6. Supergirl
7. ???
8. Terry Sloan

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Robin and Mr. Terrific make seven. That leaves only one of the original eight a mystery.

You are wrong this time ;) : the eight wonders are Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Robin, Terry Sloan and one other. I guess that means it's the 7th Wonder who I think might be Steppenwolf. (The one he refrains from mentioning for reasons those who know the war and world will understand).

The preview looks great. I'd loved to have seen Catwoman in action as well though...maybe we'll be seeing more of her in the actual issue.

Looks like dimension hopping is why Terry Sloan knows about Michael Holt. He beat Michael to the punch. Looks like Michael could be the 3rd smartest man on Earth 2 as well.

It is stated that Wonder Woman was the first to appear, that's why they're called wonders in Earth 2. It was in a podcast with Robinson on Comic Vine. Can't remember which one.

Looks like another solid issue from Robinson!! This is my favorite DC title currently. Along side All Star Western!

I'm a little disappointed that it's dealing with the attack form Apokalypse, I was hoping to see Earth-2 pre invasion. Ah well, it looks good. Though I'm already missing Nicola Scott's art.
