Today marks the launch of DC Comics' new series; Injustice: Gods Among Us. The Justice League type spinoff is heavily tied to the same titled upcoming video game from NetherRealm Studios. The game is being released this April.
The comic is actually being hailed as a prequel to the game. I had a look at Issue #1 last night and have to say this series looks very promising. Receiving close to 5 star reviews from over a thousand ratings on the DC digital site, there is definitely a strong interest in this pre-game series. Without getting into any spoilers the story begins with Superman and a person of interest during a late night conversation. The Man of Steel is also later seen with the caped crusader who has a surprise in store for the Dark Knight.
What has a lot of fans interest peaked is that a big part of this story line is the ability of beloved enemies like Lex Luther being able to stand up in battle with the likes of Wonder Woman. It is also no secret that our beloved super heroes will be going toe to toe, beginning with Batman and Superman in the first Issues. Fans alike myself are hoping that the comic series will explain the reasoning behind the superhero madness without having to resort to playing the game in order to understand why friends like Batman and Superman will turn on one another. I've been looking forward to the release of Injustice for quite some time, so it is great to finally see. Injustice is available at your local comic store today.
