A review by booksnarks
Injustice 2 Vol. 1 by Tom Taylor
4.0
"In the end, you're just a scared child still trying to stop two bullets.
Tom Taylor is back! And everything is all right!
I absolutely loved the first Injustice series, and I still think its one of the top series published by DC in recent years. Injustice 2 picks up from where the Injustice video game left off (so yes, you need to have played the game or at least watched the cinematic cutscenes on YouTube to understand what it going on), and I found myself still very much invested in story.
After the fall of Superman, Batman is now trying to rebuild the world but that's easier said than done and poor Bruce can't seem to catch a break. Bruce and Clark are still very much the heart of the story, and what Taylor really excels at (and has excelled at in the previous series as well) is his handle on the characters, and making us feel them and connect with them.
There is not a lot of story in this volume really, but when the characters are so interesting and driven, maybe we don't need a whole lot of it.
