The Price of Victory Earth 2 #1 Cover Date:  July 2012 Released:  2nd May 2012 ⋅ Writers:   James Robinson  ⋅ Pencilers:  Nicola Scott   ⋅     ⋅   Inkers:  Trevor Scott  ⋅  Colourists:  Alex Sinclair  ⋅ ⋅  Letterers:  Dezi Sienty   ⋅  Editors:  Pat McCallum / Sean Mackiewicz  ⋅  If the original Earth-2, not to be confused for this much more contemporary Earth 2, used the fact that it was an alternative Earth to make a few cosmetic changes this as a concept goes in all in! The conceit of this other Earth is that this universe Darkseid, or according to other material there is only ever one of him, has invaded Earth with his army of Parademons. We don't see this invasion, only the final battle to draw this invading force away with what appears to be the last heroes on this version. Obviously being DC it's the fabled Trinity, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, but we also get Kara (as Supergirl still, she doesn't become Power Girl till on Earth-Prime) and Helena (as Robin). M

  Let me start by saying I really like Mister Terrific, though based on an older character by now he's his own character. I'm also not apposed to comics that deal with political themes, after all the All-Star/Adventure era had some subtle and not so subtle political comments (for good or ill).

Regardless of what you think of the New 52, you have to admire that it wasn't afraid to experiment and try new things. Things like World's Finest. I dipped into the New 52 when it launched but only a few of the comics I kept collection, a fewer to the bit
