Uneven storywise
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2016Verified Purchase
First of all, the quality of the edition, specifically its binding - is not the highest. Some of the first pages seem to opening too far, almost looking as if they would be coming off eventually. It kind of proves the ongoing theory about DC lack of delivering in binding department.
Storywise the Injustice is most of the time a good fun. Some parts are awesome but there are many 'meh' moments, as well. Story tries to be grounded but is failing every now and then. Not going into spoilers - motivations seem unclear and contradictory. The number of side characters is too high sometimes and they seem to be there just to push the plot forward. Trying to make some of the JL members grounded is (unintentionally) hilarious.
Although I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by nice touches of humour in some parts of the story. Overall - it is a good read but I expected a bit more from 'cult alternate gritty superheroes version'.

Story was substantial and well-written, as well as easy to understand

Kills and thrills galore! I haven't played either of the Injustice games (fighting games don't interest me), but I have watched all their cutscenes on YouTube because the story of that universe is fascinating. This comic line continues to add drama and tension to the story. When someone is killed off, you feel it. Several moments only hinted at in the games play out, and even though you know they happened, it's still enthralling to watch unfold - as should be the case with any prequel.
The power of Superman in this collection is the best demonstration I have seen in any story (I'd include examples, but spoilers!). You believe how terrifying it is to be up against him when he lets go of his limits. At one point, Bruce runs into Clark's parents, and he instantly decides to retreat - if Clark thinks Bruce is coming for his parents, Bruce is dead.
This is definitely a story of "the ends justify the means, until they don't", and he never sees that. There are moments where Clark betrays his friends in the worst possible ways, and you'll find yourself wondering several times if he's crossed The Line yet, or if something bigger is coming. Something bigger is always coming. And the ending... Ouch.
Because it's all telling one story, you don't feel left behind, whereas if you were reading a mainline comic book there would be references to other series and events that you haven't read. For example, I'm reading the New 52 Batman line, but I haven't read Batman: Eternal and that's left me very confused in places. With the Injustice comics, there's just the one story, so it's much easier to understand. Occasionally, there's a break from the supers (one story explores a young boy's relationship with Superman before and after he killed the Joker), but it doesn't last long. You don't need this comic to fully understand the game (plot points from this are brought up there), and you don't need the game to fully understand this comic (this is five years before the events of the first game).
The last thing I'd like to share isn't a compliment or a criticism, it's just an interesting thing I noticed when I held the collection for the first time. Every comic book I've ever held has had a paperback cover with a slightly glossy feel to it, like a magazine. The covers for this were also paperback, but they had a dryer texture, closer to actual paper.

Surprisingly brilliant!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 August 2017Verified Purchase
Very nicely written and drawn, coloured and put together.
As far as stories go, this well exceeds my expectations. Not only does this do a good job of explaining the universe of the game and explaining the character motivations of the Regime members but it also had me moved several times. I was more or less introduced to most of these characters upon buying this book and I seriously found myself invested in them by the end of it. I've been thumbing through these volumes like crazy since I got this one. If you like the games or even just DC stuff, I'd highly recommend this one!

Gripping!

I found the story of Superman's metamorphosis from Big Blue Boy Scout into evil overbearing dictator to be a great idea and very entertaining, plus the interactions between DC's other characters is great. Good stuff!
