Comparing The New 52 Jay Garrick with the Pre-Reboot Garrick

This is the new Jay Garrick The Flash for James Robinson's "Earth Two".

This on the other hand is what Jay Garrick looked like in the pre-reboot DC universe, even during the so-called GOLDEN AGE...

See the difference?

Here are some of the things that I want to blog about regarding the new costume:


I loved the old Jay Garrick/ Golden Age Flash because of his very old-school appeal. You've got a blue leggings and red boots with a red shirt with an inverted lightning logo. It's simplistic without trying to be one.

The new one just plain looks like its been dumped in a pool of fashion gurus and rinsed with some consumerism coupled with a little bit of elements from the pre-rebooted Jay.

One of the things about the redesign that made me heave was the design for the helmet. I firmly believe, as a comic fan, that if you are to do redesigns on a costume, you should still retain the "THING" that makes the costume iconic.

So What if Earth 2 Alan Scott is the Gay DC Character

Rumor has it that Earth 2 Green Lantern Alan Scott will be the gay, prominent DC character that is set to debut soon.

Bleedingcool is insisting that the gay superhero is actually the speculated homosexual character.

So my question is whether or not its a bad idea for something like this to happen or if this is a good idea? In my opinion, (and assuming that its really Scott that gets "outed") this wouldn't change anything. I mean I've read Earth 2 # 1 by James Robinson and Nicola Scott.


It was a great ride and though it ended in tragedy, there is a glimmer of hope for the people who live in this Earth. By the end of Earth 2 # 1 we get to meet the wealthy Alan Scott as well as Jay Garrick. DC has made sure of its promise of providing an all new take on the character and sexuality might just be included for the big guy.

DC Teases Earth 2 Batman, Wonder Woman and Other Heroes

DC Comics has been teasing new character designs for the upcoming "Earth 2" book which will be written by James Robinson with art provided by Nicola Scott.

Check out the initial drafts done by DC artists such as Jim Lee and Kevin Maguire.

Ivan Reis and Joe Prado do the Variant Cover for Earth 2 # 1

Here's a quick look at Ivan Reis and Joe Prado's variant cover for Earth 2 # 1 which will be written by James Robinson and art by Nicola Scott.

The cover is a re-envisioning of sorts for what has transpired in the current story arc for Justice League minus of course the other characters and retaining only the DC big three which are Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. 

So this is going to look like a great looking book together with Batman Inc. which will be again written by Grant Morrison and his old posse.
