Podcasts collide! The hosts of "The Earth 2 Podcast," Peter Watson and David Steel, join Matt and Cale to discuss the graphic novel, "JLA: Earth 2" by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. 
Published in 2000 by DC Comics, "Earth 2" tells the tale of the Crime Syndicate of America. Ultraman, Owlman and Superwoman rule the planet with iron fists. When twisted, mirror image versions of the CSA arrive their perfect global corruption is threatened. Will the Crime Syndicate be able to defeat the lawful and righteous Justice League of America? Or will Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman disrupt the Crime Syndicate's world? 
This is the second collaboration we've examined between Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (be sure to listen to our episode on "We3") and the third book we've discussed that was written by Grant Morrison (don't forget to check out our episode on "Batman: Arkham Asylum"). In this episode we make connections to the United States' war on terror and the rise of decompressed wide-screen storytelling in comics. 
Our guests, Peter and David, bring their encyclopedic knowledge of the DC Golden Age multiverse (something they explore every episode in their own podcast, "The Earth 2 Podcast"). And as proud Glaswegians, they share their tales of personal encounters with both Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely on the streets of Glasgow.
