So I finished the first Earth 2 trade and it was...okay. Lots of the redesigns and plays on established characters and stories were very entertaining, and - especially relating to Alan - it had some pretty epic moments but the book felt like it lost a lot of steam after that initial epic first half. Grundy was impressively boring for a villain who was destroying the whole planet while fighting our "Wonders" at the same time.

The artwork was mostly bland and forgettable which was problematic as this book was basically one long fight sequence with very little plot or character moments to take the weight off of the artwork.

I might check out the second trade but if it's a repeat of the first I don't think I'll be taking this much further.
