A lot of good people are about to get hurt. While Batman and his rebels might be incapacitated, the might of the Green Lanterns is not turning a blind eye to Superman's takeover of planet earth and issue #4 signifies the march toward war. Ignore the ladies on the bottom half of the cover, because…

It's funny, I can't remember the last time I played Injustice: Gods Among Us (video game) but I find myself looking forward to the comic every month. In fact, I hardly even associate the two things anymore. When I hear "Injustice: Gods Among Us" the comic is always what comes to mind first and issues…

In Year One of Injustice, the world changed. In Year Two, those responsible for the new world actually have to live in it. The landscape of Injustice gets all the grander in issue #2 where the significance of Superman's actions are put into perspective when The Guardians of Universe turn their eye to our pale…

NOTE: This issue does indeed mark a jumping-on point for new readers, but I highly, highly recommend you play the video game or, more importantly, read the original 12 issues of Injustice: Gods Among Us first. The 1st year of Injustice: Gods Among Us was an entertaining and emotional prequel and the first volume of…

This was really great! I don't think there's a villain I've hated more this year than Injustice Superman and he is definitely at his worst here. I'm going to mention spoilers regarding the previous issue and any spoilers from this particular issue will be hidden so if you haven't read any of this series before…

With the exception of Arkham Unhinged, DC's Digital First comics have been some of the best, most consistent titles I've reviewed. Batman: Li'l Gotham will be ending next month (digitally anyway, we still have a few more months of print issues remaining) and it's always been a joy, Batman Beyond Universe is a gripping and…

Things have gotten pretty heavy in Injustice: Gods Among Us lately, what with Batman and Superman finally going their separate ways and more than a few big name heroes biting the dust. But in the series' first Annual issue we turn our attention away from all that darkness and toward the comic's funniest characters, Green…

Director Howard Hawks described a good movie as having "three great scenes and no bad ones." This issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us has such incredible, standout moments that I was immediately reminded of that quote upon finishing this satisfying read. Yes, there are a few blemishes here and there, but on the whole, Injustice: Gods…

In a month full of so many filler comics, Injustice: Gods Among Us #9 really shines. Here is a book with a purpose, a story to tell. In last month's issue-- which I highly suggest you read first-- the world was under attack by the armies of Apokolips and Kalibak himself (a character I'd like…

Before we get started, does the cover look like Henry Cavill and Billy Zane to anyone else or is it just me? And NO Billy Zane would not make a good Lex Luthor. Can we stop that? I'm sick of seeing his name in every fan casting discussion. It's as bad as every time we…

Issue #7 breaks new ground that was untouched by the video game. It also illustrates a few distinct differences between the two universes that collide so that the idea of many of our heroes acting so out of character is more forgivable because these aren't the heroes we know after all. At first it just…

Six chapters down and Injustice: Gods Among Us is still holding my attention. It bears repeating that Tom Taylor's storytelling is much better than what was shown in the actual video game's cutscenes. Comics definitely have the advantage over fighting videogame cutscenes, however. With a fighting game you have to actually make time for fights--…

As usual, Injustice: Gods Among Us is fun to read but not too pretty to look at. Look, with the video game already out for, what? Two months now? It doesn't feel like reading a prequel comic to the game is going to be worth your time, but in all actuality this is quite entertaining…

Wow. The writing in the Injustice comics is far, far superior to that of the actual video game. Dialogue, pacing, characterization, emotional weight, action, laughs...it's all better. There are scenes in this issue alone that are more memorable, more emotionally resonant than any cutscene you'll see in the game. That's not to say you shouldn't…

Issue #3 of this series reigns things in quite a bit and isn't as shocking as the previous two issues but let's face it, those two copies are hard to top. We saw major character deaths, the leveling of entire cities, and heroic characters lose control. So now what? Now that the DC Universe as…

More than just a marketing gimmick, Injustice: Gods Among Us might just be the most awesome superhero comic you can read right now. Think Kingdom Come without Alex Ross' art but with more laughs, more shocks, and a way faster pace. Since this comic takes place within its own universe it doesn't have to abide by…

Oh, hell yeah! Gather around Batfans, Unkie Andrew's got something he wants you all to go buy. I was admittedly apprehensive about picking up another comic book based on a video game but holy crap was this thing awesome. Writer Tom Taylor got to do some CRAZY things with the mythology of these characters that…
