writer of the critically acclaimed Starman series as well as the universally reviled Cry for Justice, is on his game, keeping his book free of the unnecessary clutter that often plagues his weaker series. Every character, every line of dialogue, and every panel has a point, whether it builds Earth 2, provides characterization to the protagonists, or advances the plot. It even manages to draw parallels to Justice League, all the while exposing what a terrible first arc Geoff Johns and Jim Lee spit out. Had Justice League #1 been even half as good as Earth 2 #1, there might be more of a sense that the New 52 was a fully-fleshed out concept as opposed to a half-cocked scheme filled with ideas thrown up against the wallor complaining to his wife about why the Internet is stupid, he sits in his dingy business office trying to find new ways to make the site earn money. Christian is also the only person in history stupid enough to moderate two comic book forums at once.
