Some thoughts about Earth 2 #17

Earth 2 is on war once again and this time faces a much dangerous threat, Superman.

Considered dead for years the greatest superhero of the world has returned to conquer it in Darkseid's name. Now all the remaining heroes will have to face him even if there's no possibility to defeat him and meanwhile, a new Batman has appeared and he heas some desperate measures to combat the new menace.

This is the first issue written by the new ongoing author Tom Taylor, famous for his Injustice: Gods Among Us digital comic, and it's automatically a success already. Despite that previous writer James Robinson did a pretty good job at creating the whole world and its characters, there were always some flaws in his work, especally concerning pacing and narration, it was pretty compelling but not that well executed.

Taylor on the other hand, is pretty polished in those aspects, his dialogue is way more refined and natural than Robinson's, not to mention that he's able to fit much more content in this issue in comparison to the past. About the surprises, there are plenty, you'll see a lot of twists in this story and Taylor is also able to give each character a pretty good moment, not to mention more personality in each of their lines.

And if anyone worries about Batman, he's just barely here. Mission Accomplished!

Nicola Scott remains on art and her pencils are beautifully detailed as usual and shines especially on the personal moments which are plenty.

Success people, this title is in good hands.
