Earth 2 #25 is the distillation of everything that makes up great superhero comics. It is hope. It is love. It is idealism. It is the eleventh-hour, million-to-one long-shot that just... might... work. It is the kind of book where characters can say that they accidentally pushed a villain into infinity or that they are going to hold the entire Earth in place and you believe it. You honestly believe it with all your heart.

What Tom Taylor, Nicola Scott and Trevor Scott have done with this title is truly magical. This issue is perhaps the best of the series so far and I will eat my hat if it is not nominated for an Eisner or an Eagle or some manner of award for Best Single Issue. If it has a flaw, it is that as the penultimate part of the current storyline it is not easily accessible to new readers. As such, I advise those of you who have yet to read this series to start with Issue #0 and start catching-up. You won't regret it.
