This book continues in the earth 2 world before and after superman kills the joker. And I gotta say, I love these comics. Anytime I finish reading the next volume, I wanna read more. Not only does it show the attempts and conflicts between the regime and insurgency, but unlike the video game story mode, it showed another side to the regime. True they're somewhat keeping the peace on the planet, but at what cost? Freedom of speech and civil rights taken, living in fear of making the wrong step, and total domination of the earth. Not to mention, their humanity. What the regime does is right from a certain point of view that we see, while seeing a grim and evil part of it too. The insurgency do what they believe is right letting people make their own choices and if trouble happens, then they take the criminals to jail so that they don't cause any more harm. But the regime, they'll kill a criminal, even for something like robbing a bank. As we see two sides fighting for the fate of the world, we see friends slowly becoming enemies with each action taken against another killing eachother in the process.. It's a great read for anyone who's a fan of the injustice gods among us video game.
I have been reading DC comics for years now and Justice League has always been in my monthly folder. Tom Taylor perfectly captures the team in its most recognizable form. This book is an exciting title that makes me truly sorry he is only writing this as a lead up to the game. I would very happily follow this title as a main stream book.
I don't know why I waited so long to read this. This was a great new twist on the superman/ batman story. I can't wait until the complete year two is released. So... Spoiler.....Joker tricks Superman into killing a pregnant Lois Lane. Superman kills him and decides to stop all wars and crime. Wonder Woman is basically whispering in his ear to keep going the whole time. Batman thinks that he is going to far and taking away free will. Events ensue and two factions of heroes are formed: those with Superman and those with Barman. Lex Luthor is with Superman. Robin and some other heroes die (some by Superman's hand). The artwork and writing were well done. I couldn't put this down until I had read the whole thing. I really want to read the next issue, but I refuse to buy this one volume or issue at a time. Don't think about it, just read it now.
I found this as a free download. I already have the graphic novel that collects the first few issues. I also prefer an actual comic to the e-book but figured I couldn't beat the price.This is not the regular DC comics universe. It is an alternate universe that goes along with the game. I haven't played the game .(I never could get it to download.) In this issue, Superman gets some great news, Jimmy Olsen has an ending, and Batman and the Joker have come to Metropolis.The artwork is great. The story is good. The price was right. I had to download it.
The first year of Injustice was pretty good. Kind of lagged it in the beginning but after a few chapters we get a better story. Around the time Lex and Superman start working together the series is halfway done but it's also where it is acknowledged that Superman is no longer who he used to be. To some of us it seems uncharacteristic, but rarely does Kal experience loss, so when he does, it will obviously have a major impact on his personality. He starts acting on impulse like a superpowered brat, but because he betters parts of the world, people go along with it. I can both hate and love this unofficial Elseworlds story but I can definitely say it is one of those stories I will never forget.
Great start to the INJUSTICE SERIES. Looking forward to more. A couple of somewhat shocking surprises right off the bat. This is great. You are really on the edge waiting to read the second comic. If you are looking for something exactly like the video game, you aren't going to find it here. Something that kind of explains the time and situation in which it is set? I am sure we will get to know more and more as the series carries on. Also, classic smartass Batman. Love it! :)
This is the start of the injustice universe, chronicling the fall of the man of steel to a lower mad dictator. As with most things, this issue started things out small, but the ending hints at the fate of Metropolis we see in the game.
Amazing, very fresh and well made story. The best Superman I've ever seen.Can't wait to read the whole thing!!!
