The JSA All Star Story Site Earth-Two Archives

The stories found here deal with what happened on Earth-2 after the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths and come from the JSA All Star Story Site group. They focus on the various members of the JSA, Infinity Inc, and other characters published by DC Comics. New but familiar characters have also been introduced along the way.

You can read the stories here in three different ways: by character titles, by chronological order, or by author. All stories published within the last year will be marked with a red – New story! sign. All new published stories will also be promoted on the Five Earths Project website. Some stories can already be found on the Earth-2 Titles page, and the rest will all be available here soon. But for now, you can find most Earth-2 stories at the old Earth-2 Archives page. You can receive all new stories from this section through Google Reader by subscribing to the Earth-2 RSS feed.

Quick question: When was the last time Bruce Wayne, the original Batman, wore his cape and cowl before his death in 1979?

And this is also the one and only team-up story between the Batman and the Huntress. It’s been ten years since then, and now Helena Wayne (the Huntress) is finally ready to reveal that tale for her adopted daughter Sonia.

Skeletons in the closet are brought to light as Dick learns he has a grown-up daughter named Rachel Levine, who was born from that old relationship. While wedding plans are made, others make plans to cash in on this high society event as well as take revenge on Dick. Can the Batman Family make peace with the dark secrets of the past in order to save this wedding from those who would destroy it? Featuring the debut of the U.S. Avenger and the Sparrow, and guest-starring the Huntress, Bat Lash, the Superman Family, Stretch O’Brien, Bluestreak, and members of the JSA!
