Injustice: God's Among Us Vol. 2 is a comic written by Tom Taylor and published by DC Comics in relation with the creators of the video games Mortal Kombat and Injustice. This is the continuation of Injustice: God's Among Us Vol. 1, in that comic Superman was <spoiler>tricked by The Joker, into killing Lois Lane and their unborn baby.</spoiler> In this comic Superman continues to force the world into what he considers a new era of "peace". There are those who oppose Superman and the people who support him.
There was so much action in volume 2, some of which I remembered and some of which I didn't remember. One reason why I liked Injustice: Gods Among Us so much is because it has so many well known and lesser known heroes all in one comic. The Justice League and <spoiler>ex members of The Justice League and even villains from the past appear.</spoiler>
Overall, this comic was really interesting and so emotional. I cried twice, I was so sad at the losses we witness in these pages.
I'm giving this 5 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
I own a copy of this comic, I didn't rent it from the library.
This review is for the entire Year One and not Volume 1 frankly because each volume is so small that it would not be fair to rate them individually. Injustice goes on to make the point that there is still some mileage in Superman and the rest of the DC universe. The killing of each character destroys lots of history for us followers and its in some ways also welcome. Of course this is not the first Batman vs Superman we are seeing and its not likely to be the last. What sets I apart is the balance between the two with each showing new sides to their characters without deviating from their base natures. Well written with some nice short interims and some decent art make this one a “Don't miss” in my book. Bring on Year two Tom Taylor!
