MTV has the latest breaking news today about Earth 2, the ongoing series starring Green Lantern Alan Scott. The series made headlines early, and even more recently when James Robinson surprisingly stepped away from the book and DC Comics. Now, we have a new writer to help bring Nicola Scott’s art to life and he’s got critical and commercial success to his name. Tom Taylor, writer of the ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ tie-in comic will be taking over the writing duties with issue #17 in October.

“I’ve had so much fun working on Earth 2 with James Robinson over the last year. While I’m sad to see him go, I’m really looking forward to exploring the ever expanding mysteries of the title. I’m even more excited about moving forward on this journey with my great friend and fellow countryman Tom Taylor! Not only a charming guy but a great talent to boot. She continued, I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have lined up!”
–EARTH 2 series artist Nicola Scott.

 

“I’m a big fan of what James and Nicola have created so far with Earth 2, and I’m honored to be adding to this world, with its rich characters and its many mysteries. Earth 2 is entering a new age, and I’m thrilled to usher in this new age with my good friend, and fellow Australian, Nicola Scott. It was good of DC Comics to give Australia our own Earth to play with. We’ll try not to wreck the joint.”
