Injustice 2, Vol. 1 by Tom TaylorMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
An excellent follow up to the original Injustice comic series and game. Works wonderfully with the story of the second video game for fans that pick it up because of the tie-in, but is also a stellar read for those that are following the story from the original Injustice series.
Tom Taylor once again shows that he understands what makes these characters work, and finds the essence of the heroes. He also really enjoys the freedom to play around with the evil side of the characters and creates some really terrifying hero-turned-villains. He also has one of the coolest ideas ever for stopping Superman that seems inspired by Identity Crisis.
The art work is handled by a stable of artists, and while that sometimes can be jarring in a single volume, each artist's visual style is close enough to that of the others that the book has a very coherent and similar feel. It is done so well, that I did not even realize that different artists were handling the work until I went to write this review. It is a testament to how well the story draws (pun intended) you in and how well the artists create a consistent visual identity.
