Download Injustice Vol. 1 Chapter 1
From the makers of Mortal Kombat comes the critically acclaimed prequel comic to the smash hit fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us!
Things in the DC Universe have changed after Superman is tricked into destroying the one thing he loves the most. Now unwilling to let crime go unpunished, the heroes of our world must choose if they are with Superman or against him. But not every country will submit to his new world order and neither will Superman's greatest threat—Batman!
This is one of the best graphic novels I have ever read. This is a question superman asks, not once or twice but a lot of times. What would he do if he wasn't so bound by his principles. He is the man of steel. He could rule the world and knowing he is a True Good how can that be wrong? This book just answers that.
This is alternate history of Superman and how life would be different if he could do anything to save the world. With the help of wonderwoman, flash and other justice league heroes he tries just that. Batman, Catwoman or Arrow are against him.
I think this were done in a way that none hero was invisioned differently from what DC do to them. I think superman is the key here. No doubt about it. And this begs a question. For the sake of peace would you sacrifice a bit of your freedom?
Advisable to anyone who enjoys the heroes I told before.
It's quite easy read with 36 volumes with 20/30 pages each.
Now the drawings... there are only one writer but several artists. Some were quite good. But others were quite weak in my opinion. Neil Googe is probably the weakest. Nevertheless I really think this is one of my favourite graphic novels. Let us see what the second year bring.
Year one was a fascinating gamechanger. I loved the broad sweep of events and widespread death. It was bold and uncompromising. And, yes, surprising, which isn't something I normally say about any of the DC line. I loved what Joker did, how he ended, and how this entire mess ended up with Alfred being such a badass.
Then again, wasn't Alfred always a badass? Yeah, I suppose he was.
That's not really the point of this set of 36 comics, though. It was about dragging Superman through the mud of morality and showing us a world where even the most inhumanly good character can go really bad. And if you're wondering, no, there was not a whiff of the red stuff.
I was thrilled and stunned by the scope of this, and I hardly got a chance to say goodbye to so many wonderful characters before they were gone, gone, gone.
It makes me kind of sad to think that this will all have to be retconned. It was so brilliant and exciting.
It'd also have to mean the end the DC universe, but oh well, the ride was well worth it.
