Ultraman, Owlman, Power Ring, and Johnny Quick rule the world without mercy or opposition. But their own personal utopia is threatened by the sudden arrival of appearance of Superman, Batman and the others in the Justice League. Realties clash as the Justice League travels to an alternate reality to face off against distorted mirror images of themselves.

The hottest original hardcover of 1999, and the first-ever JLA original graphic novel, was a sold-out phenomenon!  Pitting the JLA against their dark opposites, JLA: EARTH 2 is a powerful tale of good versus evil, updating one of Morrison's favorite Silver Age stories - "Crisis on Earth-Three," from JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #29-30 - for today's continuity. In JLA: EARTH 2, the League must confront its evil mirror image from an antimatter universe, a cruel world where the most powerful super-team consists of the mightiest super-villains ever assembled - Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Power Ring and Johnny Quick - the Crime Syndicate of Amerika! Their archenemy, the infamously good- hearted Alexander Luthor, is the only hero left. The battle-scarred Luthor crosses the dimensional barrier to a parallel world he dubs "Earth 2," seeking the Justice League's help in fighting the Crime Syndicate and sparking a battle that long will be remembered as the JLA's finest hour.

When it comes to Grant Morrison, he's the Alan Moore of the modern age. He breathed new life into the X-Men for Marvel, as well as Animal Man and Doom Patrol for DC/Vertigo, and of course, JLA for DC. Earth 2 finds Morrison once again writing DC's superteam as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter get their world rocked when Alexander Luthor makes a visit. On his alternate world, he's the only hero, and the JLA's evil alter-egos, the Crime Syndicate of Amerika, have total control. In response to Luthor's pleas, Supes, Bats, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern plan to overthrow the evil empire, but as they soon find out, things aren't so easily done in this alternate world. Morrison has taken the classic pre-Crisis Earth 2 world and used it brilliantly here, making Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Johnny Quick, and Power Ring some of the most evil and coloful villains you'll ever see. Morrison's longtime partner in crime Frank Quitely provides his usual superb art here, so longtime Morrison fans know what to expect here. All in all, Earth 2 is one of, if not the, best JLA yarns you'll ever check out, and it's easily one of Morrison's best superhero stories.
