A review by trike
Injustice 2 Vol. 1 by Tom Taylor
5.0
The original Injustice series was not just better than it had any right to be, it was hands down the best comic DC published. That was due entirely to Taylor’s writing, with an assist of excellent artwork. But mostly his writing. The issues featuring Constantine are some of the best comics ever written, full stop.
But then a new team took over and it devolved into mediocrity. So I stopped reading them. Then I saw that Taylor had returned for the sequel. Now all is right with the world.
I just watched the movie Justice League the other day, and it’s as bad as you’ve heard. The humor falls flat and the action is dull and the supervillain gets weaker as the movie progresses. On top of all that it feels like a collection of semi-connected scenes which only tangentially relate to one another.
They should let Tom Taylor write the movies. The jokes here are *funny*, the characters have distinct motivations, and the story just flows. The plot moves right along while the twists are cool yet logical. Most important of all, Batman is an actual mastermind who is a flawed genius anticipating every scenario and staying three steps ahead of everyone else, yet he is *still* barely holding his own.
This is the gold standard for superhero comics right here.
