When a sequel to the award winning video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, was announced I don't imagine anyone was surprised. The original game was lauded for it's versatile gameplay mechanics - which heavily mirrored NeatherRealms' highly successful Mortal Kombat series - and the level of detail that was put into ensuring each character retained their individual personalities and fighting styles.
This weeks issue begins with Soranik, Sinestro, and the other Green Lanterns returning to Oa after a daring escape from Harring. Upon their arrival to Oa, they are met by Salaak, who immediately questions them about what occurred. One Lantern explains that they were able to escape with the help of Hal Jordan who, with the power of a Red Power Ring, was able to stave off the enemies long enough for
So, this issue took a turn that I definitley wasn’t expecting. We pick up the story with Soranik, Sinestro, and Hal, who have found themselves surrounded by Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps. While they have made it clear that their goal is to capture Sinestro, they have also come to the decision that they will kill any Green Lantern that crosses their path because, well.. “evil.” Outmatch
Injustice 2 #54 picks up immediately where the last chapter left off, with Tomar-Re's ring leaving planet Harring in search of a suitable new Green Lantern to take his place. From there, the chapter takes us back to Jordan in his jail cell, where we see him conversing with Guy yet again. Soranik arrives and informs him that he will be released from solitary confinement tomorrow, and that he has to
This weeks’ issue moved away from the Earth based issues of both the Ra’s Al Ghoul and Supergirl plots in lieu of taking readers across the universe to Oa, where Hal Jordan - once the mightiest of the Green Lanterns - faces trial for his crimes against his fellow Corps. members. This weeks issue came as a welcome surprise because, in all honesty, I had forgotten about Hal Jordan in the world of I
With the dissolution of the original Justice League in year one, an all out war with the Green Lanterns in year two, a showdown between sorcerers in year three, & a battle with the Gods themselves in year four it was obvious going into it that the fifth & final year of Injustice not only had to keep the momentum going, but also set the stage for the video game of which it was based on. Fortunately
With three of the longest years in their history behind them, one might think that the characters of this DCU might be allotted a moment to catch their breath.. but rest & relaxation are foreign concepts to these heroes/villains. The fourth year of Injustice ups the ante yet again by bringing the Gods (both Old and New) into the fold, as a new battle for Earth begins with the Gods of Old wishing t
The third year of Injustice picks up immediately after the War of the Lanterns where we are introduced to John Constantine. While brief, John provides us with a different view of the war, one that shows us how catastrophic the event was for the people of Earth & just how many innocent people were caught up in the attacks – one in particular is especially important to him, as she was the mother of
Where Injustice Year One introduces & establishes the new world order, the second year throws fuel on the fire as things drastically escalate to the universal scale as the Lanterns enter the fray. While Year One of Injustice creates an intriguing dialogue about what constitutes right & wrong (ex. the conversation between The Flash and Superman regarding guns), Year Two (in addition the final chap
For this comic, I’m writing two reviews – one for those who have played the game and/or are familiar with the story & want to read my thoughts on what occurred with the first year of the story, & another (this one) for those who are unfamiliar with the world of Injustice & would rather not have any aspect of the story spoiled for them. The world of Injustice originates from the video game of the
This week we’ll be discussing the epic story of Injustice, which stems from the video game of the same name & which takes place on a version of DC’s Earth very different from the one we’re familiar with. Spoilers follow. To briefly summarize the plot, Injustice: Year One tells the story of how The Joker set in motion a plan so nefarious & evil that it pushed the Man of Steel over the edge, resul
