Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If successfully reuniting all of DC's flagship heroes under the Justice League of America banner wasn't enough, JLA: Earth 2 finds Grant Morrison producing perhaps his best JLA tale, continued proof of his mission to ensure that the current League's adventures have top-notch super-heroics infused with his customary mind-bending narratives. Here, the oft-used chestnut of alternate realities is given a fresh airing, showcasing his sparkling character interplay. The story comes together nicely: The League rescues a stricken passenger jet, only to find all the passengers are already dead, let alone have their hearts on the wrong side. Then, a Kansas farming couple discover a crashed spacecraft in a cornfield. Sounds familiar. Not so, when Lex Luthor emerges. The pre-eminent superhero of an alternative Earth, he's come to seek the JLA's help against the CSA--The crime Syndicate of Amerika--a superhero team devoted to evil. In a world of exact opposites, how can the JLA tackle a foe who is destined to win? Morrison is at his best here, never once stooping to cheap get-out clauses in his story. On Earth 2, the JLA represent a tyranny of law and righteousness and their doppelgangers are a bunch of intriguingly drawn characters with splendidly twisted locales (Johnny Quick is a drug addict, Gotham is a police state with Gordon as a crime boss). It's been a while since the JLA has been rendered with such a compelling mix of thought-provoking stories and heady excitement- this is just the book to witness it best. Danny Graydon


Product Description

Imagine an Earth where there is no Superman, but there is an evil, twisted supervillain who calls himself Ultraman; no Batman, but a cynical sadist known as Owlman; in fact, instead of the JLA, there's the CSA -- the Crime Syndicate of Amerika! It's an Earth where the only hero left is the infamously good-hearted Alexander Luthor...JLA: Earth 2 is an all-new, stand alone, epic JLA graphic novel, pitting the World's Greatest Superheroes against their own dark opposites from a parallel Earth. It's a powerful tale of good and evil told by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely -- two master storytellers producing the best work of their careers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book!, 16 Jun 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Earth 2 (JLA (DC Comics Unnumbered Paperback)) (Paperback)
When the Justice League flies out to rescue a crashing airplane, they are shocked to find all of the passengers already dead. Even more strange, when they begin to examine the passengers, they find that they are carrying dollar bills bearing the picture of the first president of America: Benedict Arnold! When they confront Lex Luthor, the Justice League is in for another surprise. He is not the Alexander Luthor they know, but one from a parallel Earth; an Earth where good is evil and evil good. He wants them to come to his reality and help to straighten everything out. Will they do it? Of course...but, there may be unintended consequences and unforeseen players.

This is quite an exciting story. The authors bring the Justice League into a fascinating story, where things are not merely opposite, but forming a consistent reality based on a different outlook. My son and I both loved this book, and think that you will too. Get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, exciting and lovingly drawn., 13 Sep 2008
By Bob Grist (London) - See all my reviews
  
After thoroughly enjoying the wonderful All Star Superman, I decided to do a search on Amazon for anything by the same writer/artist team and was most lucky to find this little gem.

Now, I do like a well written superhero story, but I'm not normally one for the superhero team up. I prefer a story that focuses on just the one individual as this gives the writer the chance to play more with characterisation and give us a more well-rounded figure in the central roll, allowing us a more intimate connection with that individual. I worry that, having a team of superheroes - and the Justice League of America has some big players in its ranks, not least the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman - will mean a much diluted storyline in favour of servicing big, brash fight sequences.

No fear of that here as Grant Morrison has given us a thoughtful, balanced, exciting, intriguing and admirable little drama that plays more upon the nuances of each superhero's character than how hard they can pummel the opposition. The main reason for that here is that the villains - if such they can be called - are the Crime Syndicate of Amerika; mirror opposites of the JLA from an alternative Earth in a dimension where crime always wins through and the world's societies are pretty much balanced and mediated by evil. So when the alternative Lex Luthor - a wonderful play on our own version who is always striving for good but always fails in his endeavours (which in itself is played out with such a sharp little comic irony in the story) - comes to our reality to ask for help, and, naturally, the JLA say yes, the problems they encounter are mainly a creation of their own impulsive do-gooding.

Grant Morrison has constructed a many layered little tale here, and it reminds me of the greatly enjoyable mirror universe stories from Star Trek, though it stands solidly on its own as a nicely unique take on the mirror universe concept and the meeting of the evil version of our heroes (and when they make it through to our side of things, naturally, all hell breaks loose).

Frank Quitely's art is as excellent as always. Stances are believable. Settings are richly detailed. His characters are subtle and true and only spring into extreme-comic mode action when necessary.

I read this in one sitting and it was 96 pages of joyous reading; a real homage to the concept of superheroes in general and intelligent, admirable fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lois Lane as Superwoman?, 25 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Difficult to fault this little gem apart from it simply is not long enough!A brillaint idea: What if the JLA had counterparts that were evil? is given the customary thoughful approach by surely, Neil Gaiman excluded, the finest writer in this genre today. Comments such as those made by Owlman (yes Batman's alter ego)'Well on this world evil always triumphs' are both humourous and call into question the whole notion of reader expectations as Moore always seems to do. Heart on my sleeve I'm afraid I loved this
