Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Vol. 1

What would you do if in the blink of an eye you lost everything you've ever loved? Would you pick yourself up off the ground and move on, or would you give in to despair? This is the scenario the Man of Steel is faced with. His city, his wife, even his unborn child: all gone by his own hand. In response, in a moment of pure rage and emotional turmoil Superman goes after the man responsible and does the unthinkable.Superman kills the Joker.This is the inciting incident. Now, after losing everything and acquiring a taste for blood, Superman goes to work. The Regime is born and the Justice League stands divided. Some follow Superman because they agree with actions. Others follow out of fear. But some... some won't bend the knee so easily.Don't let the fact that this is a video game tie in turn you away. This is much more than a tie in. This is an epic that eclipses the game itself. This is DC's Civil War, and while it might not be part of the main canon, the world created here feels fully developed and lived in. These may be alternate versions of your favorite characters, but they still feel like the heroes and villains you know. If you consider yourself a fan of DC or superheroes in general I implore you to read this. And pick up Volume 2 while you're at it.This story is a great deconstruction of the Superman character and showcases why his idealism that some may find corny is so very important. When the world's greatest hero turns his back on us, who do we turn to?

This is one of the best Justice League stories ever. What happens when the most powerful man on earth loses his moral compass? Superman murdered the Joker after the Joker tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn baby. Further, Joker set a dead man switch which nuked Metropolis with the death of Lois Lane. In order to "save" the world, Superman and his allies decided to impose their will on the peoples of earth. Batman, of course, kept his moral compass and opposed the super dictatorship thus setting up a fight to the death and there are death a plenty.There are elements of Kingdom Come and Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme 12 issue limited series. In Kingdom Come, Lois was also killed by a super villain but instead of losing it, Superman retreated from society. After 20 years, he was convinced to come out of retirement by Wonder Woman. The 1980's Squadron Supreme limited series saw the Squadron impose Utopia with Nighthawk (Batman analogue) opposing and forming for a resistance team. If you like this omnibus, go read those two graphic novels.This volume presents years 1, 2 and 3 of the 5 years before the video game of the same name. I hope DC will publish volume 2 of this series and present years 4, 5, related stories and the sequel, Injustice 2.

Muy buen producto!

Definitely a page turner, except when it gets lost on unnecessary tangents for twenty pages at a time. Some of the characters have very different personalities in this story. Wonder Woman, an ambassador for peace usually and a critic of the wars of men, now staunchly encouraging insane Superman on his killing spree…she’s just an assassin. Batman is taken out of the story for the middle 25%….big mistake. They also bring in too many characters, diluting how much you invest in each character. Best parts…maybe a page…involve Alfred! Way to go!After 1100 pages it’s disappointing that the story is left hanging. We have to pay another $75 to get resolution?! That sucks. Artwork excellent throughout.The size of the book makes it hard to open wide enough to read the panels close to the binding.

I watched the animated movie before the reading the omnibus, the movie is great but once you read the comic you'll see the true story. The movie leaves out so much, I purchased 1 and 2 from Amazon and read both in a couple weeks. The story and the art work is great. I had almost stopped reading comics but after reading Injustice I'm back into comics full force lol. I honestly can't recommend Injustice 1 and 2 enough, great product and arrived in perfect shape. I hear all these stories about people receiving beat up books from Amazon but I've never gotten anything but perfect copies each time.
