Earth 2 Society: Indivisible Review



Finished reading Earth 2: Society: Indivisible, writer Dan Abnett takes the reins of DC's Earth 2 by give the series a new lease of life and direction for the characters and the world. The book opens with Hawkgirl continuing to explore and map the new Earth when she notices a man made cavern within a canyon where she finds the home of large group of Amazons lead by Wonder Woman's daughter Fury. Meanwhile in Neotropolis Green Lantern, Commander Sato, Superman, Captain Steel and Sandman have formed a cabinet to discuss the public opinion of them which is only one of the man problems the new Earth is facing as two colonies are threatening war between each other on the low supplies of energy. While in New Gotham Batman has brought Red Arrow and Ted Grant in to help him with a black market batch of power cells that are being sold at extortionate price which contents are dangerous to humans. Overall this was a great book as it gives the series a welcome change of pace from the constant world ending story that have been the centre piece of DC's Earth 2 series' for the longest time during DC's New 52 publishing line. The multiple storylines are handed very well as even though they are partly link together they also work extremely well on their own but doesn't dip in quality at all. The art throughout the book is great as the action scenes are depicted extremely well while there's is a lot of factual expressions and body language that is show well and helps to strengthen the storytelling as the book is more heavy on dialogue than action due to it taking a more political tone. 8/10.
