Hmm... so I kind of have mixed feelings on the new GL origin. I thought the "power of the Earth" stuff sounded kind of stupid, but by the end I was more intrigued by the idea that the greenflame had once been human. I hope the Green vs Grey stuff isn't going to turn into the Earth-2 version of the emotional spectrum or something annoying, though.
Loved the Flash/Hawkgirl interaction. And we've apparently got Fate in the mix as well.
Looking forward to the Atom next issue!

I pretty much figured out Sam's fate from the end of issue #2.
EDE, I agree about the Power of Earth thing and the end where it might have once been human.
I definitely don't want the whole Johns color emotion thing. I think though it is more a Swamp Thing/Animal Man thing. Which could be equally annoying. It will be ok if they limit it to GL & Grundy.
Will the Atom be Sgt. Pratt from issue #1?
We have: Flash Green Lantern Hawkgirl Fate Mr. Terrific (Earth-1) (The Earth 2 Terry Sloane looks to become a villain) Atom
Hint at Hourman

Art great, but the changes to the characters... I'm not feeling it. JSA is still my favorite contemporary team, but this is more like E-12 than E-2. Jay powered up by Mercury, Alan powered up by... swamp thing?
1970's, here I come.

I was gonna appeal to Rick to continue with E2, then decided not to.
But now I have been drinking, and... still am not going to.
Because I'm right there with him in my 70s love of the JSA.
I was gonna say that, every CRISIS has negated numerous stories that came before it and there's really NO reason for us to continue as fans of DC at all, really...
But then it dawned on me that sooner or later, a CRISIS will come along to restore our best-loved JSA! I'll be there when it happens, God willing and the creeks don't rise.
But until that happens, I'm really kinda enjoying this all-NEW all-NOW take on our Earth 2 faves. Come along for the ride, Rick! (awww, crap, that counts as an appeal I guess)

Not reading E2, but World's Finest has been pretty fun, if a little decompressed (I read 1-3 in one sitting and it could easily have been two issues). The art's great and Paul has some good banter going. Interested to see what happens when they go public in the DCnU. Should be some interesting interactions with the Super and Bat families.

I've been enjoying WF, though #3 seemed kind of repetitive of stuff we already knew.

I've been enjoying E2. Not a fan of the New 52 overall so I was excited about this comic.
Flash looks a bit hokey but when hasn't he? I don't mind it. Also don't mind the green/earth stuff for GL.
Basically it seems the JSA will be more magical than ever...which I like.
Flash getting his powers from Mercury, GL from the "earth", Hawkgirl hopefully egyptian ties, etc.
I like the black Hawkgirl. Especially if she has egyptian ties. I think this might be an easy transition for that character.
Don't LOVE the title but I like it.
Will Wildcat become an MMA fighter? I hope so.

E2 #4 was pretty solid. Maybe the most interesting Al Pratt has ever been, imo, though the "world army" stuff has the potential to become really annoying really fast. I'm also kind getting over the whole slow formation of the team thing, and wish they'd just get everybody together. That said, this remains a fascinating alternate take on the JSA.
WF #4 was pretty solid as well, if a bit workmanlike. I was kind of annoyed at the cover question asking "What are the Irradiated Man's ties to Earth-2?" or whatever, and then there's no answer to the question, or even real hints beyond the fact that there are such ties. You can really tell how much PL is putting into the relationship between the two leads, which is far more interesting than any of the characterization he's done in his latest Legion run, imo.

We're getting closer to having the team together. I wonder how many members there will eventually be? The banter between Jay and Kendra is fun. Atom's visual on the final splash page is impressive.

I'm wondering if it will parallel the original line-up, only with Kendra replacing Hawkman. We already have Flash, GL, Atom, Hawkgirl, and references to Fate as already involved in recruiting them, so all we would need would be Sandman, Hourman (who's been hinted at), and the Spectre.

It looks like we will be having an interruption with Earth2 issue 0
