So last we saw Dick he was kind and compassionate and not all too sure about where he fits in among these superheroes, one year later he's a crime fighting bad ass searching for his son on this new world. The hook is we don't know how he got from A to B and need to keep reading to find out. I'm sorry you don't like it but please don't make broad assumptions about everyone's tastes in comics. I'm enjoying this book very much, I didn't read the first Earth 2 or World's End nor did I read about the original JSA, this book and Convergence did exactly what they were supposed to do as far as I'm concerned, hooked a reader who wasn't reading this book before and gave me at least two characters I'm interested in following in Dick and Val, I'm also incredibly interested to see what happened to Alan Scott.
On a side note, can we ever have a discussion about this book that doesn't turn into somebody crying about the old JSA? I mean seriously, it's been four years, they aren't coming back. Start your own thread and cry about it and leave the Earth 2 preview threads for the people who either like the book or want to complain about something that actually matters to the book. Whining about a version of Dick Grayson that doesn't even appear in this book and hasn't appeared in print in several years adds nothing to the discussion of Earth 2 Society. I'm sorry your favorite characters are gone but it's time to let go.
