JLA: Earth 2

2000Grant Morrison

4.7/5

\ Excellent reading!\ This is a prestige format graphic novel.Creative Team:Writer: Grant MorrisonIllustrator: Frank Quitely\ WHEN IN EARTH-2...\ First of all, don't get confused for the title of the this story, JLA: Earth-2, since it was published in the interim way after the "end" of other parallel Earths during the famous Crisis on Infinite Earths, but quite before the new "explosion" of hypertime and then an official re-introduction of parallel earths during the "New52".Since, originally, before the Crisis, the Earth of the Crime Syndicate was called "Earth-3", and even when the multiple Earths concepts was retaken on the "New52", got its designation once again of "Earth-3",,,...BUT......since this story was written during the said interim, well it was odd to refer to the only one other known parallel Earth as "3" if there isn't any "2" out there,,,...but I want to explain thie little "mess" since nowadays there is the quite popular "Earth-2" titles published during the "New52" and part of the "Rebirth" era, but that it's about the formerly known "Earth-2" before the Crisis, just with a new angle.So....In this awesome tale, the infamous Crime Syndicate is re-introduced, updating their costumes and even part of their origin stories, which it was so well received that when they were re-introduced once again during the "New52" on the Forever Evil event, you can notice that the supervillain team has more common with this "in-between" version that its original at the Silver Age.This "Earth-2" (which as I already explained should be treated as the former "Earth-3") is the basic concept like in Star Trek's classic episode "Mirror, Mirror" where the characters that are "good" in the "original" reality, there they are "evil" and viceversa.Easy.However, the great creative team of Morrison and Quitely give us a great understanding and deep true meaning of how works an antimatter universe, really reasoning what it means that what is "good" here, therefore is "evil" there, and the implications between both parallel dimensions.The Crime Syndicate: Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Power Ring, Johnny Quick (evil twisted versions of the Justice League), rules in a merciless way over the whole population of their Earth, and the last "superhero" left alive is Alexander Luthor, whom decides to crossover to Earth-1 and ask for help to the Justlce League to return to "Earth-2" and fighting against the super tyrants there.Obviously, the Justice League will comply the request, but they don't suspect that this mission won't be any easy at all for reasons beyond of their comprehension.It's the Justice League versus the Crime Syndicate!What else do you need?!
