DC Comics announced today that Earth 2, the ongoing monthly series written by James Robinson with art by Nicola Scott, would be getting its own Annual issue this year. Since April solicitations are already available, its probably fair to say that issue will be on shelves in May. Guess all we need now is a Red Lanterns Annual to complete our lantern set. Below, check out some choice quotes from DC Comics’ Editorial staff and the cover for the E2 Annual.

 

Editor In Chief Bob Harras: They definitely, in a lot of ways, are jumping on points, but to Bobbie’s point earlier, they are not standalone in the sense that they are very important to the character in the series as a whole. It is something that is very important to us. An Annual is a special issue; it’s something that should be big in every sense of the word, and I think that’s something we’re trying to work very closely with our talent.

Chase: [The Annuals showcase] something that will affect continuity in the DC Universe. It’s not the regular type of stuff we’ll be building.
