Injustice Gods Among Us: Year 2 (2014)

Absolutely spellbinding for the full 24 issues of the series and you will find it invokes many different emotions with each page.

A prequel to Injustice Gods Among Us and a sequel to the first year title with the same name, we follow on one year after Superman leaves Batman with a broken back and the murder of Green Arrow. A new team of heroes are leading the Resistance, with new forces for them.

Unfortunately for the Insurgency, Superman also gets an ally in the form of the Sinestro Corps and things go from moderately bad to catastrophic by the end of the series.

The character development is just incredible with some stand out characters, including Jim Gordon and Dinah Laurel Lance, who are almost as if they are in film.

Overall if you like the Injustice Gods Among Us universe, then I suggest you read this. Everything from the battle scenes to the script is just beyond words to describe with much comedy and a whole lot of tragedy to make this a strong example of what a good comic book is.

Injustice Gods Among Us: Year 3 (2014)- Overall Series Review

Four issues in and I'm hooked. To be totally honest I have been obsessed with the last two series that are the pre-curser of this title and the Injustice Gods Among Us Video Game.

Year 3 follows the events after the Green Lantern Corps war with Superman and the Sinestro Corps. A new hero has risen up from Liverpool to bring the powerful magicians together in an effort to hamper and stop the One Earth Regime that Superman is using to oppress the world and hunt down the "fugitive" Batman.

I seem to see a pattern with each year that passes, where first year of the comic uses meta-humans and criminals, the second year used some of the most well known extra- terrestrials of the Dc Universe and know in the third year we have the the magic useres. I don't know if this is just coincidence or if there is an actual reason for this, but I happen to love the occult world of Dc.

It is well worth reading, with some very familiar faces and several of my favourite characters including Harley Quinn, Teekl and Klarion.

(This will be updated at the end of the series with verdict of the series as a whole.)
