The Real 'New Earth' DC Comics


So, way back 36 universes ago when DC Comics
did "Infinite Crisis," it was revealed sort of
matter-of-factly and under-the-radar that it was
the discontinuation of multiple earths that caused
all of these 'new style' duplicate characters (which
were so different from the originals) to manifest
there on what was considered DC Earth proper.

It was pointed out that 'Breach' was the 'Captain Atom' of
the intended New Earth in the multiverse, as were other
heroes (Kyle Raynor, Helena Bertinelli, etc) the erstwhile
duplicate earth's version of existing characters.

A pretty decent explanation (and write-off)
for some not-always-stellar and usually
mismatched players. But I was curious what the
population of this 'New Earth' would have looked like if
it had actually developed the way it was 'supposed to,'
rather than piggy-backed onto the mainstream earth.

Here's what I came up with!

Art of Homage # 45: The Noble Line-up



Not entirely sure of the exact origin of the iconic
"Noble line-up" shot, but this is my best guess!
(Likely it was a military poster of some type--
drop a line if you know for sure!)

Not all comics' homage art comes from other comics
("Thank the Titans!")

But here are some great pieces through
the years showcasing the heroic ideal of
the good guys...lined up, often casting eyes
towards the heavens.

The master, Perez, does JLA and Avengers justice!

Maguire on the JLA

Ross does the original JLA
