Review: Injustice 2 #7

By Ashley Gibbs

Finding happiness in a time of war isn’t easy but it can lift spirits and keep people sane. Injustice 2 #7 focuses on the wedding of Black Canary and the dimension-hopping Oliver Queen she’s with now. As much as enjoy classic superhero action I also like the simpler moments like this that help round out their personalities and lives. This issue promises to deliver action, romance and plenty of drama for not only the lovebirds but everyone around them. If you think a superhero can ever have a peaceful wedding then you’re sorely mistaken.

Review: Injustice 2 #5

By Ashley Gibbs

The world is in shambles after Superman’s Regime took over by force only to be defeated by Batman, now Bruce is trying to rebuild things, but there are other forces working against him. Injustice 2 #5 serves as an introduction to Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle but focuses more on his mentor and predecessor Ted Kord. It’s an interesting story and also a rather sad one, and while I’m not well-versed in either character, I felt this issue did a good job of presenting both of them to me, and I think fans of the characters will also enjoy the writing.

Review: Injustice 2 #4

By Ashley Gibbs

While Superman was detained in the previous issue, the prison break did succeed in its mission to release Damian Wayne. In Injustice 2 #4 we find out why and if his mother’s appearance in the previous issue was a tip-off, then you know what to expect. While this book isn’t filled with as much action we do get some good story that moves the plot forward for Harley and her situation. We also get some tender memories from Batman though not too much in the way of moving the plot forward with him, but I enjoyed the story told nonetheless. This was a pretty good read that really helps flesh out the characters involved.

Review: Injustice 2 #3

By Ashley Gibbs

The prison where Superman and other members of the Regime are being held is under attack by the Suicide Squad led by the false Batman in Injustice 2 #3 but the real Batman has prepared for everything -or has he? This issue is filled with a lot of action during this full on prison break but also some nice reunions. While this issue isn’t filled with a whole lot of character development, it helps move the story forward as the chess pieces begin to fall into position. While the Regime was once the biggest threat this earth had to face, new powers are coming into place from the rubble of the broken world.

Review: Injustice 2 #1

By Ashley Gibbs

Personally, I am a casual fan of DC comics, but when the first Injustice video game came out years ago, I was pretty excited and enjoyed it a lot, so I’m eager for its sequel. To help build up hype for the new game, we’re also getting a new tie-in comic that helps explain the world of [i]Injustice[/i], to bring people up to speed on the story so far, as well as offer more story that might not have fit into the game itself. Injustice 2 #1 is the first issue of this new series and takes place directly after the ending of the first game. While it’s not necessary that readers be familiar with the first game or even the comic series revolving around it, these comics add more meaning to the story.
