The children of the Earth 2 super-heroes banding together to show their parents how it's done, shit ya! This Pre-Crisis series was absolutely fantastic from Roy Thomas' writing and Jerry Ordway's art, to the origins of their stories.


Up until this point the modern world of Earth 2 was seen only in glimpses and crossovers. The majority of the Earth 2 narrative took place during World War 2. So it was cool to see the evolution of E2 into modern times.

But sad that it was one of the casualties of the Crisis event.


Fun Fact (clipped from Wikipedia): A post-Infinite Crisis version of the original Infinity, Inc. appears in the Justice Society of America Annual #1 in 2008, and is known as the 'Justice Society Infinity after it merged with its world's Justice Society of America. The Earth-2 versions of Silver Scarab, Fury, Jade and Northwind are members, but their Green Lantern (Alan Scott) is dead.

Fun Fact 2 (clipped from Wikipedia): In promotional material for the new Infinity Inc. series appearing in All-Star Squadron #28, a Catwoman-like figure, riding what is referred to as a cat-cycle, appears alongside the Infinity, Inc. group. A caption refers to her as "La Garro" She, however, never appears in any of the team's adventures, or its comics under this name. She was further developed into the future Infinitor, the second Wildcat (Yolanda Montez).
