The prequel to the best-selling video game Injustice: Gods Among Us! It will be a war between heroes who used to call each other friends. A war among gods. Superman’s grip over the world is unrelenting, and the casualties are rising. The super-pills Batman synthesized from Lex Luthor’s original have given the resistance an edge, but it’s only a slight one. Especially compared to the fearsome power of the Man of Steel’s newest allies: the Sinestro Corps. Thankfully, help is on the way. The Guardians of the Universe are none too pleased with Superman’s actions over the past year, and they’ve dispatched their Green Lantern Corps to aid the alliance of heroes opposing his unjust rule. Their plan involves the biggest Corps member there is—and one, little green bullet to bring down a god. But death is not the only way a god may fall. A battle unlike any other rages across—and above—the globe as the story of what happens before the events of the hit video game continues in surprising, shocking fashion from writer Tom Taylor (EARTH 2,) and artists Bruno Redondo (HUMAN TARGET), Mike S. Miller (A Game of Thrones), Tom Derenick (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA), and more in INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: YEAR TWO (collects issues #7-12 and INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: YEAR TWO ANNUAL #1).

Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two Vol. 2, by Tom Taylor Review "Starts off with a bang." --Forbes"An addictive soap opera of larger than life characters." --Publishers Weekly"Between Taylor's writing and the art team's visuals, YEAR TWO will continue on its predecessor's success and remain as one of the most enjoyable titles published by DC Comics." --Newsarama"A gorgeous book that is familiar enough to be welcoming, but twisted enough to be disturbing and unzsettling. These are characters longtime DC readers know, but Taylor and Redondo are proving that nothing is off-limits, with shock and surprise waiting behind every page turn." --Comic Book Resources"An entertaining gateway into the new game universe." --IGN

And when I do get into the world of comics, I generally prefer Marvel. But holy cow. Injustice: Gods Among Us Vol. 2 was fantastic.Injustice: Gods Among Us is set in an alternate universe wherein Lex Luthor and Superman are really good friend, Lois Lane is dead, Superman has killed the Joker, and Batman and Superman are at odds. Superheroes are taking sides and things are getting ugly. Batman is 100% against any lives being lost, while Superman has come to the realization that sometimes lives must be lost in order to save others.Both Batman and Superman have their own allies. On Team Batman we have Green Arrow, Black Canary, Huntress, Captain Atom, and Catwoman. Team Superman consists of Wonder Woman, the Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Shazam, and Robin. Superman has gone through a lot with the loss of Metropolis and Lois. However, when a signal comes from Metropolis indicating there’s life left, Superman makes it his goal to save whoever is down there. Lo and behold, the lone survivor is Lex Luthor.Batman, on the other hand, is trying to stop the person that Superman is becoming. Superman is becoming extremely vengeful and a little hell-bent on protecting those he loves, which would be fine if he wasn’t doing it in a very over-protective creepy kind of way.I loved the characters in this comic. While everything is action packed and serious, there are also a lot of quips and witty lines that come from some characters (mostly Flash and Green Arrow) that made me chuckle, which I appreciate. Harley Quinn also makes an appearance, which made me really happy because she’s one of my favorites.My view of the plot is a little skewed because I didn’t read the first volume and I didn’t realize it was an alternate universe setting at first and I spent quite a while confused about the fact that Lex and Superman are buds and Batman and Superman are at odds. Once I got over that though, I really enjoyed it. It was fun for me to see everyone pitted against each other and it wasn’t even that it was good vs. evil. There are several members of the respective teams that question their leaders at various points in the comic, so it isn’t that they’re mindlessly following someone.The only thing I really didn’t like about the comic was the art style, and I can’t put my finger on why. It wasn’t bad at all, and I am not an artist in the slightest, so I have no room to talk, but it just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.Overall, I’m giving Injustice: Gods Among Us Vol 2 4 out of 5 controllers. It’s a really interesting concept with a great plot and amazing superheroes but the art style bothered me throughout the whole thing.Originally Reviewed At:Mother/Gamer/WriterRating: 4 out of 5 ControllersReviewer: Ariel

Incredibly Shocking and Edgy Series By David Swan The book starts off with the discovery that Lex Luthor is the only man who has survived the destruction of Metropolis. I know these stories are not in the official continuity but it's strange that here Superman and Luthor seem to be good friends. Superman decides that the JLA simply doesn't have enough bodies to police the whole planet so he tasks Luthor with creating a super pill to create more recruits.Let me start my review by saying I really enjoy this series. It's well written, the art is very good but mostly it's thought provoking. Tom Taylor really pushes the envelope and isn't afraid to take some of the most beloved DC properties and have them do some shocking things. In this book three major characters die and it's pretty clear Taylor has been given Carte Blanche to do what he wants at least for the time being. What I wanted to write about is some of the more interesting aspects of the book and spoilers will be included.*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***The basic dynamic of the book is that Superman is now on that slippery slope following his killing of the Joker and Batman is the moral counterpoint. Sorta. Maybe. I'm still not sure if Tom Taylor is playing out the most obvious storyline given the DC Comics ethos or if he's showing its fallacy. The DC Comics ethos is that superheroes don't kill. This is the one immutable rule both Superman and Batman adhere to. Early in the book Darkseid catches wind that Superman has declared an end to violence on Earth and decides to test the new policy by launching a worldwide attack. While Superman is tied up fighting Kalibak, Darkseid's paratdemons are killing human's all over the Earth and readers know it's happening because we literally see human's getting charred to a pile of bones. At some point Superman has all he can stands and can't stands no more so he sweeps around the Earth obliterating Darkseid's forces to which Batman softly utters, `Clark.. No'Batman is a fool. In the real world no one would blame a country for defending itself with any means necessary to an entirely unprovoked genocidal assault and no one should blame Superman. The parademons were literally seconds away from killing Green Arrow and Black Canary (both choosing to side with Batman) before Superman incinerated them. Not only did Superman prevent untold deaths he probably prevented another attack from Apokolips for the foreseeable future. Batman is also a tremendous hypocrite. He seems to be concerned about life, even the lives of Apokolips soldiers who are breed only for conquest and killing, but where is his concern over other things like civil liberties. This is a man who spies on just about everyone including all the members of the JLA. At one point Superman decides to reveal Batman's secret identity and Batman turns out to have a magical kill switch that can not only shut down broadcasts across the country but even kill all systems including life support on the JLA satellite. He infiltrates the JLA using a spy in this very book. He has no interest in civil liberties and yet is aghast when Superman punches his fist through a maniac who killed millions. Superman is absolutely right for admonishing Batman for not taking care of the Joker himself.Does Superman do some bad things? Absolutely. Although some seem rather forced in order to push the idea that Superman is on the inevitable slippery slope. He punches to death a member of Batman's team in a scene that seems like it was set up just to say, `see, see, Superman is out of control'. Superman's attempt to keep human's safe by controlling their ability to harm one another is ill advised but other things he does were absolutely correct. Taking out Darkseid's parademons was absolutely the right thing to do. In fact in another part of the book Superman kills one of the founding members of the JLA and I have a tough time blaming him. You tug the tigers tail hard enough and you're going to get bit. The fellow that Superman killed seemed as out of control as Superman.I'm still not sure if Tom Taylor is making Batman the good guy and Superman the bad guy or if he's simply setting things up and allowing the reader to decide. There are a ton of grey areas including Damon Wayne, Batman's own son, who has chosen to take sides with Superman. I suspect later he'll have a change of heart but I hope not. Regardless of whether Taylor is trying to create a massive morality tale or simply give the reader ideas to ponder I can tell you I'm enjoying the series immensely and highly recommend it.

By Anarchy in the US If you are reading this, you must be a fan (or hated it) of Tom Taylor's volume 1 of Injustice: God Among Us. A quick refresher of what that is: Injustice is a fighting game based off of DC Universe characters, plain and simple. As with any media tie-in, a comic series was written to accompany the story of the game. Most of the times these aspects fail or are simply fluff to sell the game/movie/television show. But the comic book has turned out surprisingly well done tale of numerous superheroes that have taken sides with either Superman, who has become a bit crazy and wants to police the world from harming itself; or Batman, who wishes to stand against Superman's new goal and continue to uphold the traditional values of superheroes. It's very much been done similar to Kingdom Come, but this series has proven enough that some of the same aspects still work. And volume 2 holds up pretty well.INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US VOL.2 collects issues #7-12 and Injustice Annual #1. After the events of volume 1, a beacon is sent out from the wreckage of Metropolis, a lone survivor named Lex Luthor. Lex has been Superman's friend his entire life and wants to help Superman in his cause. You see even with an incredibly powerful team of super beings, Superman's group cannot police the world with their little numbers, so Lex has an idea to create a pill that gives people super powers who will help in their cause. But Batman being the tactical genius that he is, has plans on taking away the super-power pill and using for his team to counter-Superman's agenda. What stakes will it mean for the planet? What will both Superman and Batman do to make their plans come to fruition?As with volume 1, volume 2 of Injustice is a dark "what if?" comic that has nothing to do with DC continuity and stays somewhat in the same effect of the game's main plot. This makes Injustice a gritty comic that makes most fanboys dreams come true of a story of Batman vs. Superman that they would never get away with in a regular DC series. It's a still a good helping of light banter humor between characters (Harley and Green Arrow STILL arguing over the name of the Arrow cave) but with off-kilter aspects of character that are parts of their old pre-52 selves and this new Injustice universe.After volume 1 which spent most of the time setting up the general plot, volume 2 delves more deeply on both Superman and Batman's fractions duking it out trying to one up each other. It's a fun and interesting how each one finds ways to how Superman can hurt Batman though various acts, and vice-a-versa with Batman to Superman that I cannot explain or else it would spoil the book. Some big moments that have you either rooting for the characters or thinking their actions are "hitting below the belt". It's quite enjoyable to see.And the other aspect is the continuing debate among characters that their actions mean for either Superman or Batman's sides of moral ethics might not be the best ones. One of the biggest faults I have with in-continuity Batman is every writer always makes Batman right, because...he's Batman. It's a bias answer toward the rest of the DCU when the debate comes up. With Injustice, every character on each side questions their leader's actions and the other sides as well, making for a fairly great examination that both Superman and Batman are right, but very wrong. Some examples include a chess match between Superman and Flash over policing the world means a totalitarianism-like planet gives not free choice; or, without giving things away, a scene that involves Superman doing something he would never do in-continuity to save the earth. The act saves everyone including Batman and his team from destruction. Batman's team is grateful for Superman doing what he did for them and the planet and Batman arrogantly does not acknowledge Superman's actions. Even with possible defeat, even death, Batman see's Superman as wrong. Stuff like this is a treasure to read about because it keeps readers open-minded and on the fence about both characters actions we probably would never get from the regular DCU.And the last aspect that makes Injustice work is the fine line of never knowing what might happen next, that being no one character is safe. Volume 1 had two big time characters bite the big one and who are playable in the Injustice game. It goes to show any character within this series could die at any minute which does up the stakes for this series. And yes, two characters do die in this volume. You just have to see how and how they go.As for art duties, the art is mostly handled by Mike S. Miller, Tom Derenick, and Bruno Redondo. These three artist share most of the art duties and it's passable to good most of the time. Additional artist to fill-in include Kevin Maguire, Neil Googe, Jheremy Raapack, Xermanico, and Jonas Trindade.I personally love what Taylor is doing for this book and give it a 4 ½ star review, but I'm rounding score to 4 stars. Beyond the ever-changing art with does muddle some parts here and there, this series is not for everyone. It's dark to the point that some readers will despise it because it's so different. Seeing how far Superman and Batman go from their standard DC selves, pre/post New52, is shocking. I love it for that reason really, but some might hate it. Then again, if you read volume 1 and enjoyed it, volume 2 will be a pleasure to read; and if you hated volume 1, then volume 2 will not change your mind.Now a full year into the INJUSTICE storyline for the game, and VOLUME 2 delivers everything you want from a Batman vs. Superman rivalry in a alternate universe you will not find in DC continuity. It may not be original, but Tom Taylor is still hitting all the right beats to the point that the success of the series will mean a Year Two of INJUSTICE Injustice: Gods Among Us Year 2 Vol. 1 that looks exciting (especially the way volume 2 ends on...).
