Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Five Vol. 2

This series is amazing. The game was very fun and everything, but WOW; the comics are a treat. My problem with superhero comics is that it is literally an ongoing soap opera where people die, they come back, rinse and repeat. This series though, has deaths and other events that actually have some weight to them. Seriously, buy these trades while you can. You won't regret it.

The final year of Injustice: Gods Among Us continues in the same high gear that the earlier volumes did, with an increasingly unstable Superman descending even further into paranoia and rage. The Superman/Batman conflict is now in its fifth year, and allies on both sides are getting tired and disillusioned with the whole thing. The storyline is still fresh and interesting, however, and with just two volumes left to go, all bets are off as to which of the capes is going to win. If you’ve followed the story this far, this is no time to quit.

Would recommend. Totally! cant wait to read the next one! I usually don’t write reviews but this was really great!!

The tremendous start to Injustice's final "year" continues to with the second volume that has multiple great character moments and one of the single most heart breaking moments of the entire dark comic's run. Harley Quinn remains Injustice's secret weapon as Buccellato, like Taylor before him, gets some great dramatic material out of the character as she contemplates her place in the Insurgency. Likewise a rift forms between Catwoman and Batman as she realizes she can no longer support his campaign against Superman when every single plan has failed and most of the Insurgents have died in the process. While the Insurgency teeters on the edge, Superman continues to consolidate his power while devolving further into outright madness. No longer killing in battle and merely trying to be a savior to human kind, the evil Superman has gone outright megalomaniac and is murdering those who dare to raise their voices in opposition to him while distancing himself from the rest of the Regime.This leads to the one major setback of this volume (a problem is majorly exacerbated in the final volume that just came out): the wishy-washy nature of characters like the Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg in the face of Superman's blatant madness. Obviously the writers have been handicapped from the start as all of these characters are on the side of the Regime in the story of the game, but while most of them are rather nefarious and willing to play the part of the evil henchmen in the game, all four are vocally wondering whether Superman has gone too far in this volume. While the Flash does notably betray the Regime during the game's events, Wonder Woman and Cyborg are steadfast supporters of Clark's new world order, but Buccellato doesn't do enough to show how they make that final fall into pure "evil minion" territory. SPOILERS AHEAD.The two dramatic turns for this volume are Superman's massacre of a group of anti-Regime protesters and his decision to unleash Victor Zsasz on Alfred in the hopes that the killer would torture Batman's location out of the butler. These deaths on Superman's hands are enough to bring down the Regime according to Batman and all the aforementioned Regime members publicly question whether or not Superman is so far gone that he is capable of committing such acts. The Flash goes so far as to save Batman from Superman at one point even though Supes nearly snaps Barry's neck for the affront. I wish the writing team had spent a bit more time setting up these characters for their own dark falls instead of wasting time on threats like the Olympian Gods as now Buccellato has only a year to justify their actions in the game.

Great read! Can't wait for the next volume! Lots of shocking events! These volumes are very addictive. Long Live Batman! Who knew that the dark knight would be humanities only light in Supermans nightmare.

Compelling and it definitely keeps you thinking what's going to happen. I'm glad I purchased this its definitely worth it.

If you liked the series so far, then you'll love this. This series js just so amazing and truly shows a side to Superman that I always knew was there.

Great art, decent writing, and some excellent plot twists and turns. Must read for any true comic books fans or fans of the Injustice video game!

service rapide et efface produit en bonne état, rien à redire de négatif!

Comprei essa hq e mais outras 6 do Injustice no dia 11/07, no momento da compra fui avisada que só receberia dia 10/08, um mês depois. Mas fiquei bem feliz que adiantaram e recebi dia 29/07. Essa hq veio em ótimo estado, bem embalada e a caixa bem forrada. Satisfeita com essa compra! Recomendo à todos.

Creíais que ibais a tener una gran y significativa batalla entre Marvel y Harley Quinn? Olvidadlo; otro truco publicitario sin nada detrás. Creo que en esta serie se olvidaron de la sabiduría de Salomón y, sobre todo, del poder de Zeus!!! (si no, ved el año cuatro).Y hay un marido (Hawkman) violento y enfadado pululando por ahí... otro personaje convertido en chiste de si mismo, más plano que una hoja de papel

Year 5, volume 2 of injustice, shows how much Superman has changed. He has gone from popular superhero, to powerful dictator. Under the regime's rule the world has become a different place. A world where talking about politics etc, is banned by the regime. Even the smallest of crimes, are dealt within an extreme fashion. The house of El symbol, that Superman wears on his chest, no longer stands for hope. It now stands for suppression.Meanwhile a well-known criminal known as Victor zsazs, has been released from prison but, by who?. A much loved Batman character has been murdered by him. To avoid giving anything away, I won't reveal who gets killed. You'll have to read this book to find out.Year 5, volume 2 is the scene of a titanic battle battle between Doomsday, Superman and, Bizarro. A battle in which Bizarro ends up losing his life but, not before putting up one hell of a fight.After having read the last 10 volumes of IGAU, I've enjoyed reading this incredibly huge prequel story. Both Tom Taylor and, Brian Buccellato have done a great job with the writing. As for the artwork, the artwork just gets better and, better. I will look forward to reading the Injustice 2 comics, when they become available.

Ha sido una increíble historia no puedo esperar a ver cómo termina y como quedarán después las cosas o si este será la nueva realidad
