Earth 2 #5 gives a brief appearance by another rebooted classic JSAer, and references to two more.
The storyline is still moving annoyingly slow, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. I'm loving the characterization of Jay, and poor Alan now has to make a gut-wrenching choice.
All in all, I'm definitely still enjoying this in a groovy Elseworlds kind of way.

Set, you're right that it had less impact without gettting to care about the character first, but perhaps it's for the best that they showed early in the DCnU how different this Sloane is from the previous version, rather than let us assume otherwise and think it's out of character for him if they did the story later.

Like 'Battle for the Cowl,' only Batman is there, and the Earth-3 Owlman, and the Midnighter, and every other Batman-pastiche! Is there a Bizarro Batman, who fights crimefighters with his profound stupidity and array of completely inappropriate gadgets and incredible lack of preparation? There is now! Bam!
I always thought Battle for the Cow sounded more interesting, but could never figure out why a bunch of Bat-folk would be fighting over Old Bessie.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Nicola Scott? She brings magic to everything she touches. Her work on issue #5 totally rocks.
This was a fast paced issue with lots going on. The best parts were Green Lantern, Atom, Flash and Hawkgirl fighting side by side. The team is coming together. The chemistry is good. Green Lantern is showing some early leadership skills. His intuition to trust his teammates with his life provides a foundation for lots of believable teamwork to come.

She is amazing. There needs to be more Nicola Scott ... I especially love her Hawkwoman and Flash.

The fantastic artwork on World's Finest also really makes the series. Mesmerizing and dynamic, both Perez and Maguire keep the story interesting (possibly more than it deserves to be) and make Kara & Helena more endearing with every panel.
On Earth-2, Nicola Scott is also nailing it. There's a kinetic excitement on the page that enhances the world building.

I almost hate to say it, as my love for Perez is well-known ... but MAGUIRE IS KILLING IT. This may be some of his best work, from the usual amazing expressions, to the detailed body language, backgrounds etc. ....
Its not right to think of it as a competition but I was afraid the pro George Perez side by side with Maguire would make one of my beloved favorites from the JLI days ... look flawed. And while GP is throwing down some of his best work in ages as well ...when I turn the page from GP to Maguire's flash backs .... they just glow off the page!
props to both of them.

Yeah, Maguire on the #0 issue has made that the best #0 I've read so far. His depiction of a younger PG is so well done--slimmer and younger, with less confidence in her posture. It's filled with all kinds of subtleties.

Really liking this book. More than erven E2. The characters have a great relationship, and it can almost feel like the old DCU if you let it...even if just for a second.

Earth 2 is pretty good--part of my thinks the story should be moving a little faster and we should be closer to a team-book, but then I remember that this is called "Earth 2," not JSA.
Worlds' Finest is pretty fun as well, though I think Levitz really needs to step up on the plot of it. I mean, the characters themselves are fun, but the stories they've been in are kinda boring.
And since this is a Legion board, I have to ask you guys--is anyone else getting a Dream Girl vibe from the way Levitz is writing Power Girl, or is it just me?

Earth 2 reminds me so much of SUPREME POWER, the Squadron Supreme reboot of a few years back. that started off a fave, but the pace seemed like it had come to a standstill and no one was EVER gonna team up.
Fortunately, EARTH 2's pace is nowhere near as slow as SP was.
