Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Two The Complete Collection

Wow the art was great, the dialog and writing was great and paced great, great ratio of story and talking and battle i absolutely lived it. Sad, funny, disappointing, heart breaking, that feeling of hell yes. Just all around a great read, can't wait to start year 3.

Reading all of this collection at once for the first time was amazing. I really admire the writer for not only being able to handle all of the numerous characters so well but managing to create such emotional moments that flow well in the mix. There's tons of chaos and something always going on in this universe, that's comics for you, but while you get that in full albeit sometimes dark glory, you have these amazing emotional moments. Sad oftentimes. But also humorous. Harley in here just cracks me up, even side characters I can't remember the name of. The timing of it all is superbly balanced! All in all, this is a good read for anyone who is interested in superheroes. The art is good, the pacing as well, and the utter balance which this is written with. It's also easy to get in, I was a little worried as I'm not into Green Lantern stuff, but that didn't even matter. I found myself getting into the dilemma and even the deaths that come from the big buildups with the Corps. (Then the very end, I won't spoil it, I kind of saw what would happen coming with the events of the previous year, but there's a sprinkle of happiness to be had, maybe cheesy but gosh darn it. They deserve it.)

Year One of Injustice was fantastic, but Year Two may be even better in some ways. In the same way that a good TV show might expand its core premise with a subsequent season and further build out its world, Injustice takes the binary Regime versus Resistance setup of Year One, and adds more complexity by bringing in a cosmic element, the Green Lantern Corp. Although I consider myself a DC fan, I've always had trouble connecting with the Green Lantern stories, but in this series, Tom Taylor uses them so effectively as a new faction that is in some ways a welcome competing element to Superman (who you want to see struggle), but at the same time, almost an obstacle you kind of want to see Superman overcome (and because the video game takes place 3 years later, you already know he does). Normally, knowing where a story is going can hamper enjoyment, but here, it works all the better because it's not so much about what ultimately happens, but how it unfolds, what characters are involved, and how they make the decisions they make. This is another home run from Tom Taylor and is an achievement right up there with the first volume. Definitely worth checking out.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two complete collection By Tom Taylor is action packed with a lot of surprises and turns. This volume was a return to form it added the comedy back, some heartbreak, epic fights and happy reunions. Harley Quinn is a very bright spot in this volume, adding humor and heart, with her own twisted sense of humor. Batman is still in the shadows still recovering from what Superman did in year one. Superman goes from protector to dictator as he starts losing foot holds on his turf. This Graphic Novel has had the most significant deaths to the DC Universe (note this comic is in alternate universe and does not effect current DCU. Superman and Hal Jordon both terrorizes in Yellow lanterns of fear as they join Sinestro Corps. Sinestro uses the distraction to settle old scores on Guy Gardener and John Stewart. Dr Fate steps in to write a wrong, by breaking his own code. Cyborg has half of face ripped off. This graphic novel stepped up the epicness of what this comic book series can be. Injustice: Gods Among Us is based on a video titled the same. Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two Complete CollectionBy Tom Taylor collects issues 1-12 of Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two. The Plot: The Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois and his unborn child, when her heart stops a nuclear bomb destroys Metropolis. Superman distraught kills The Joker and declares martial law on the whole world, vowing that no one should die needlessly. He develops a pill that will make ordinary people super to start an army of supermen that he controls. Batman wants the world to be safe but still give the people free will, Batman sacrificed his body to get the formula for the super pill to give his side a chance. Superman's action have drawn attention to the Green Lantern Corps who's power is all about will power, see this as an affront to not let free will. Sinestro is manipulating Superman telling his own story and the way the Green Lantern Corps will attack, he makes an alliance that brings Sinestro and his minions as added protection. The Gotham P.D. is told they are not needed as the city is being patrolled my Superman's army, but Batman has a gift the pills that give super strength. Jim Gordon has been diagnosed with cancer, the super pills speed up the process but he needs them to protect the city. There's a mole on Superman's team that keeps feeding information to Batman's team. Batman and the Green lantern Corps have started planning attacks together. What I Liked: The stories are spread out where everybody gets equal time in the back issues. The Black Canary and Harley Quinn fight is both funny and heartbreaking. Jim Gordon's line to Batman, about he's going to be the one disappearing on Batman this time, when speaking about his cancer, I'm not supposed to cry reading comics. Hal Jordon and Superman putting on the yellow rings of fear. Sinestro's mind games and twist in his narrative. I liked the reveal of the defector on Superman's team. Detective Bullock takes the super pills is a great scene. The many shocking deaths of known characters in the DCU. What I Disliked: The whole Clayface plot line didn't seem to fit in this series. Clayface says who sent him and it just didn't make sense to me. Way too much Green Lantern Corps Recommendations: This series is super epic I have enjoyed reading it so much and can not wait to continue it. If you always wanted to see Superman and Batman really go after each other in a bitter blood feud, then this is the comic for you. I thought the first half was the weakest of the series so far and the back half totally redeems that to make this my second favorite moments since the first big moment that started off the series. I rated Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two the Complete Collection By Tom Taylor 5 out of 5 stars.

This volume collects all of Injustice: Year Two so skip it if you already have one or both volumes of Year Two. The second year of Injustice is almost entirely based around the opening salvos in the war between Superman's regime and Batman's resistance as well as Superman vs the Green Lantern Corps. While Green Arrow has died, he managed to pass on the formula for Superman's super strength pills that give temporary powers to regular humans. Batman gets these pills to the ground resistance being formed by Commissioner Gordon and the Gotham police force. Meanwhile, Sinestro pledges his aid to Superman believing that Supes' new regime is the perfected form of the "order" Sinestro so craves. With Sinestro's help, Superman becomes more of a target for the Green Lanterns leading the two powers into an all out war. Year Two continues the great work started in Year One with more stellar moments such as Gordon's goodbye to Barbara and Batman, Harley bonding with Black Canary, and Guy Gardner's unsung heroism. Again, the big draw back for me is the same problem I have with the first year: some characters have odd motivations and/or lack of a motivation. Flash takes a big back seat this volume and we don't get to see much more of his mental struggle over his place in the regime. Even worse are the mental gymnastics undertaken by Hal Jordan and Superman to come to grips with the fact that they are allied with Sinestro over their own good friends. It is suggested at certain points that they are being seduced by the fear power of Sinestro's Yellow Lantern rings, but this feels like a cheap, One-Ring esque solution to really push them over the edge for their fall. Overall, though, still a great series.

Me preocupada que las páginas llegaran dobladas porque a veces los libros no llegan sellados pero llegó perfecto, sin daños externos y la persona que lo recibió quedó muy contento con su regalo.

The book arrived on schedule, and it was a great read

This book is just amazing. Some people say Superman would never do anything like this. A!l it takes is one bad day, one horrible act to drive anyone over the edge. The second year doesn't let up on the action or character development. There's a lot of great scenes, especially with Jim Gordon and his people. I loved the takes on the Green Lanterns, especially Gardner, and Black Canary. Great art, especially from the under rated Mike S Miller. This is the type of story that Tom Taylor excels at, and he doesn't let up once.
