Finished reading Earth 2: Society: Life After Death, writer Dan Abnett bring an end to not only the series but the time with these characters which started at the beginning of DC's New 52 publishing line. The book opens with the heroes of Earth 2 finding themselves in a patch work world that looks like their original world as they find themselves under attack a by a group of shadowy fighters that look like the classic Sandman begin to attack the while the patch work world is slowly becoming the a new version of Earth 2. The final story sees the team having to finial adjusted to their new home as they continue to be heroes for a new world. Overall this was a great book as it brings a conclusion to the series amazing as each character get their own time to shine and their personal story arcs to a satisfying end with the book ending with enough room for DC to return to if they ever wish to. The reintroduction of the Ultra-Humanite is a great addition to the book as it helps to bring a more connective through line from earlier in the series to its conclusion along with a couple of surprising twist and returning characters. The art by Bruno Redondo and Vicente Cifuentes is great as it’s continues with the aesthetic of the series while also making the transition between the new more classic looking Earth 2 feel seamless thanks to the rest of the art team. Additionally the designs of the Sandmen looks amazing thanks to the way they look like creatures for a horror film while their in battle helps to give them a more supernatural. 8.5/10.
