It's between a 3.5 and 4.
If you like elseworlds, but still in the same universe as the main universe, this one is worth reading.
Earth 2 has Batman, Wondy, and SUpes all die in issue 1. This leads to new "Wonders" they call them, but basically heroes, to replace them eventually. Incoming a Green Lantern who watched his lover die, Flash who's kind of a young, going nowhere dude, and Hawkgirl just trying to get away from people controlling her. The series keeps evolving too as a end of the world event begins half way, resulting in a explosive, balls to walls, evil superman being used to kill everyone and take over the world for Darkseid. It can sometimes be too wordy and world building but when it hits, especially last 10 issues, it's some great stuff.

Volume 2 when?? The biggest issue this book has is that I’ll have to hunt down the rest of the story in trades. As a big omnibus collector I really try and read complete stories as they are collected best in this format in my opinion. That being said, this story is a trip. I didn’t know what to expect other than guessing it was an alternate Earth timeline but this series does a great job introducing “new” characters with reasonable intro stories that effectively form a ragtag “justice league” and attempt to save their Earth(? 👀). The action is solid, the characters feel important in their own ways, there are several story twists that keep you hooked for sure. The ending of this volume is slightly anti-climactic but the build-up is there enough that I don’t think I can wait for the rest to be collected in omnibus before I get to reading it. Solid fun action-packed story that’s definitely worth a read and this one is pretty easy to find on sale too 🔥
