Earth 2 is a DC Comics series that takes place on a parallel version of Earth, separate from the main DC Universe. The concept goes back decades, but the New 52 relaunch in the 2010s gave it a fresh start. On this alternate Earth, the original heroes fell in battle against Darkseid’s forces, and a new generation of heroes rose up to take their place. The series reimagines characters from the Justice Society of America as younger, modern versions of themselves.
Daniel H. Wilson joined as writer during the later volumes, bringing a sci-fi sensibility to the superhero setting. The series ran through several collected editions, from The Gathering and The Tower of Fate through The Kryptonian and Collision. A 2026 omnibus collects the full New 52 run in one volume. The story continued in the companion series Earth 2: World’s End, which brought the parallel universe to its dramatic conclusion.
