Earth 2 see's a Massive Creative Shift
Reading time: 1 minute
Our pre-SDCC coverage continues to rapidly unfold as we have just received word of yet another creative shuffle on the ongoing Earth 2 title from DC Comics. This is big news, as the celebrated artist Nicola Scott has formally announced her departure from the series. The artist was involved in many aspects of the book including a portion of the writing efforts. Therefore, DC is bringing in another writer to help current author Tom Taylor continue to tell the story. Welcome author Marguerite Bennett and illustrator Andy Smith to the world of Earth 2.
Comic Vine announced the news, and ran the following quotes with Taylor.
The overwhelmingly positive reaction to Earth 2 #25 is something that neither one of us can really remember on any single issue of comics we've been involved in before. We seriously couldn't be happier to tell this story, and to bring it to a natural, climactic, end with #26. It feels like our run, together, is ending on a real high.
Taylor also shared his thoughts on how he felt about longtime creator Nicola Scott departing the book.
I want to say a huge thank you to Nicola for everything she's brought to Earth 2 and for everything she leaves behind. Nic has spent years helping to shape an entire world and its heroes. It's now time for her to go play on other worlds and create all new icons (although she plans on spending an entire Tuesday on a couch first).
