    "We're Wonders That Makes Us Heroes"

    This has been a decent series and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. It took a few seconds in to remember what happened last issue, due to the zero issue but the zero issue wasn't for nothing as Terry Sloane has been introduced to the main story of the series.

    This issue sees Atom take on Green Lantern, Flash and Hawkgirl after they believe Grundy to be dead. Once they realise he is not Green Lantern agrees to go into the where the Grey is to try and stop it if the others look after his body whilst he's there. Meanwhile we see the military who sent Atom in, with Commander Kahn in charge. They also appear to have Wesley Dodds (Sandman) working with them with a Sandmen division. Terry Sloane finally gets involved, which Commander Khan isn't amused about and says he's ordered a nuclear strike on D.C.

    This was a brilliant issue and yet again some brilliant art work from Nicola Scott. I like how this team is finally starting to come together, although Atom is still following orders to capture them all. It is nice to see Sloane involved in the story as it means the zero issue wasn't for nothing. I also liked how we saw a small appearance from Wesley Dodds and am interested to see what future if any he will have in this series. I am also looking forward to see what Green Lantern does to stop the Grey.

    Final verdict. Brilliant issue and I am really looking forward to what will happen next. I would highly recommend this issue and the series as a whole.

    Rating: 4.5/5

      The wait was worth it. This issue was fantastic. Wesley Dodds seems to be an über cool dude, and I liked that new character Amir Khan, he's kind of a Captain Nemo. As always, the art by Nicola Scott was awesome, and that spread of Alan inside the Grey was super detailed without looking messy.Please check my mini-review of Earth-Two #5 here:http://bit.ly/O7Z5d5Comments and feedback are always welcome!...

      Why do we trust Sloan exactly? 0

      We start with Wesley Dodds and his "Sandmen" (Cool) saving the female president. It's good to see that in this Universe they've elected one of the many female politicians who are more qualified to be president than Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton.An arabic fellow by the name of Kahn... ... yes, Thank you Jim, anyway this guy Kahn is receiving orders from the shadowy council of world leaders who are taking time off from giving Nick Fury crap. Anyway the jist of it is that they are discuss...
