Injustice 2 Vol. 1
by Tom Taylor
OHHHHhhhHHH TOM! THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO US! WE MISSED YOU!
Seriously. Injustice year 4-5 were a huge disappointment compared to the excellent year 1-2 (and some of 3) Tom produced. However, I kept reading in hopes it would get better. It never really did. Moments of fun, but nothing compared to the start. THEN the announcement that Tom mother fucking Taylor would be coming back for Injustice 2 got me HYPPPPED and for good reason. Tom gets a dark, twisted, dark-verse type universe for our DC heroes.
So Superman is imprisoned. Why not kill him? Well we just don't do that shit. Batman is trying to fix the world. Not in the way superman "tried" but in a more organic way. Let the people recover from the Tyrant. However, not everyone feels the same. A new mysterious evil batman shows up while running with most of the suicide squad. You got Ra back because, why the fuck not. Immortal demon king is always a tough enemy. So batman begins to recruit and build his team for a better tomorrow but is it too late?
Good: The art is great. I didn't love Injustice art all the time but here everything looks crisp and clean, lot of bright colors, but still a dark gloomy feel. The fights between the characters are always well done too and the slight dialog edge tom gives each character really makes you love/hate them. Harley for example is finally written to where I LIKE her when I normally can't stand her. Also, How fucking amazing is Connor. Green arrow's son freaking rocks in here. Also the death here...fuck...was tough.
Bad: The last issue deals with Supergirl and what happened to her. There's some good moments in there but it's the least interesting chapter mostly because we get that all in the game. I also feel it didn't give me the hyped feel I was hoping for like year 1-2 did at the end of their volumes.
Overall this was fantastic. Tom writes these characters so damn well. I love a universe where everything is off limits and when characters bite it, doesn't feel for shock, more for a story reason. For character growth of others. Tom gets it, he just does. Thank you man for coming back. Please stay. A 4 out of 5.
