Earth 2: Collision Review

Finished reading Earth 2: Collision, this concludes DC's Earth 2 series as the book tells several stories that tie into the events of Earth 2: World's End. The book opens up with a group of the worlds heroes consisting of Power Girl, Superman, Red Tornado, Huntress and Batman who head to a laboratory in Geneva where the facility has been attacked by a horde of monstrous creatures. The second story features the origins of the four furies of Apokolips as the book shows how each one became a Fury when Apokolips and its inhabitants arrived at their homes. The next story focuses on Dick and Barbara Grayson in Chicago dealing with how the invasion from Apokolips has affected the civilians of the world. The following story features the origin of the three remaining avatars of the Earth that were introduced in the World's End series. The final story has the heroes of the world defending the it against one of Apokolips attacks as Kalid deals with his internal conflict between him and Nabu after they are separated. Overall this was an ok book as it accompanies the World's End series quite nicely by diving into the backstories of newly established characters like the furies and the avatars of the Earth. Each character story is interesting as they help to tell how they found themselves in the position they are in within the World's End series. However some characters motives are very questionable with how a couple of Furies easily accept their new roles and how the avatar of the blue was chosen. On the other hand the Dr Fate story at the end of the book as well as the first story are a lot more intriguing and captivating as the writers of the book had more time and pages to tell the story in and focus more on character development and interactions. 5.5/10.
