Earth 2: Society is a DC Comics series written by Dan Abnett that ran from 2015 to 2017, collected in four trade paperbacks. The series follows the survivors of Earth 2 after their world was destroyed by Apokolips, a storyline that concluded in the Earth 2: World’s End weekly series. The survivors, including heroes like Power Girl, Hawkgirl, and the new versions of Green Lantern and the Flash, must build a new civilisation on a terraformed world they call New Earth 2.

Planetfall (Volume 1) establishes the new world and the political tensions among the refugees. Subsequent volumes deal with internal conflict, threats from within the survivor population, and the question of what kind of society the heroes want to build. The series ran for 29 issues before cancellation. Readers should note that Earth 2: Society is a continuation of earlier Earth 2 storylines and benefits from familiarity with the preceding Earth 2 and Earth 2: World’s End series.

Earth 2 is a parallel Earth in DC’s multiverse where the original Golden Age heroes, including an older Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, lived and died during Darkseid’s invasion. The Earth 2 series, which preceded Society, showed the aftermath of that war and introduced new versions of classic heroes like Alan Scott as Green Lantern and Jay Garrick as the Flash.
