I thought something implied that some of them weren't actually from Earth 2 2. I only read like the first 8 or so E-2 books though then started picking up this new numbered series.

Mr. Terrific is from Earth 1, and it's been implied that Terry Sloane might be from some other Earth (neither 1 or 2) altogether, but otherwise everybody in the series is from Earth 2. Recent additions to the cast Power Girl and Huntress were stranded on Earth 1 for a while and only recently got back home, but they are technically natives.

Maybe it's explained elsewhere, but I jumped on last issue cold and have no idea why Bruce isn't helping out.

Those pages are the raddest thing I've seen in a DC book in a long, long time.prefect posted:Tony Stark used to lose all his money every other year. It was interesting the first couple of times. Did it ever prevent him from, you know, having the most state of the art weapon in the world in perfect working order? Because when it happened recently, it sure didn't, which was weird.

Because when it happened recently, it sure didn't, which was weird. His Iron Man-building funds apparently come from another source. Possibly a different dimension. Like the way the Avengers used to be funded by the Maria Stark Foundation, so Tony's business problems didn't screw them all over. Actually, I did find one example. When the suit's cybernetic interface drove Rhodey crazy, Tony had to go after him in a half-built new suit he had been working on. This was during the time that Obadiah Stane controlled Stark International, and Tony was at a start-up he created.

He was in jail during Secret Invasion right? Might Avengers had him get the poo poo beaten out of him by Sentry and then arrested, then Norman Osborn let him out as a show of goodwill when he took over.

It was quite a feat for the Avengers to properly arrest Doom. No diplomatic loopholes, no escape tunnel, no being a doombot, no "You'll have to kill me!" ultimatum, just a plain capture for a proveable crime and incarceration. I knew it wouldn't last, but that was quite a good way to reinforce the fact that this particular Avengers team had a lot of muscle on its side, if not the best moral ground.

Must have missed that somewhere - been reading a collection of major crossovers and unrelated books/arcs get skipped. I do remember Tony getting all het up to go slap Doom - something about some orbital debris dumping a bioweapon that tracks to Latveria - but then all the focus shifted to World War Hulk or something. In fact, it was possibly a long-term prerequisite to Secret Invasion, because Doom v. Skrulls would probably overshadow a lot of the SI side-books, like Captain Britain/MI13 and X-Men. The Black Panther SI tie-in was pretty  though.

Those Batgirl pages are the coolest. Is that something I can pick up and read without knowing or caring about a billion years worth of convoluted origins and retcons? I doubt it's possible for me to care less about Batman and Batman related properties generally, but that little sequence really caught my eye.

I haven't read it myself, but it's a new creative team taking over the book in a specific attempt to take it in a new direction. They started with issue 35 and that's from issue 36, so you might want to pick up 35 as well, but you should be fine beyond that.

Yes. I haven't read a Batman comic in years (pre New-52), stopped reading Batwoman with JH WIlliams, and followed the first two issues of this new run (starting with #35) just fine.
