Injustice 2, Vol. 3 by Tom Taylor
3.0

While not as strong as volume 1-2 it's still pretty solid.

This is Supergirl going undercover for Black Adam and Damien (now nightwing) to free Wonder Woman. This part of the story is a rush, since we get to see Supergirl show her stuff and face off against amazons while also seeing what Wonder Woman has been up to. The next part of it is Wonder Woman's origin in this Injustice world. It's a lot...well darker than you'd probably expect. The ending is sad but it makes sense why Diana is a lot harsher in this world.

Good: The twist on Wonder Woman's origins may be slightly edgy but it worked well for me. Especially in the Injustice universe. The art remains a highlight, being different enough, but keeping it well lit while having great fights. Supergirl in action was badass, and her and Damien's relationship is nice. The amazo storyline is shaping up to be brutal as hell.

Bad: A little light on pushing the main story over. I didn't really like the special at the end, pretty bad. Sometimes need a little hope and this volume offered almost none.

Overall, some great moments but nothing over the top special like volume 1-2. I'm hoping 4+ onward really ramps up. I believe Taylor got this! A 3 out of 5.
