Reviews

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really like the tension between Batman (B) and Superman (S) in this storyline. What makes this such an interesting read is the traditional roles have been reversed: S is now the 'hardliner' and B is the 'by the book' advocate. As the lines get drawn it is becoming very clear that something has to give; and when it does there is going to be lots of collateral damage.

Dc Comics, pre-New 52 was known for experimenting with various concepts and gave a lot of creative freedom which gave them a whole lot of variety and the envy of their competitors. Initially, when the publisher relaunched their superhero line with new 52, fans were up in arms at essentially forgetting decades of excellent stories for a new continuity. Some imprints were closed, long-time editors retired and the new of editorial interference didn't help assuage the fears of readers that DC was becoming too bland.

However, those fears were unfounded as DC only moved its more adventurous endeavors to digital comics. One of these efforts was the adaptation of the hit game Injustice: Gods Among Us. How far was DC willing to push the envelope here? Well, in the third chapter of this series, it had company icon Superman kill the Joker in cold blood. In this chapter, it had Superman takeover the country of Bialya. We probably won't that in the main new 52 line soon but these digital first efforts sure are entertaining and only 99 cents per 22 page chapter too. Not a bad deal and it helps save rain forests.

Carry on DC don't worry about haters.. variety is good. Awesome. This series was a companion to the game of the same name and pits heroes in DC universe against each other.

I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Vuelco radical en el arco principal de la historia, hacia otro plano más secundario.

Esta vez entra en escena "Lobo", para darle un poquito más de condimento al conflicto y así ver como toma forma un punto de vista secundario en la cruzada del Hombre de Acero.

Me pareció muy llamativo como de la nada apareció Lobo, y como entre Harley y él nutren la trama hacia otros parametros donde la acción y el humor van de la mano.
Que Lobo hable en tercera persona y se vanaglorie por ser el mejor me dio risa, pero lo que me encantó es que al ser "inmortal", siempre vaya de frente ante sus adversarios, porque él es "El Hombre".

Harley Quinn para variar no deja de sorprender con sus imprevisibles métodos y personalidad, pero no sé, siento como que desentona un poco en la historia.

No me gustó mucho el cómic, porque no son muy "de peso" los personajes de esta parte, pero aún así me está dejando picadito para la parte final del año 1, o sea, el tomo 7.

I am really on a roll with these comics. On another note, Superman has been my all time favorite superhero. It seems that no matter what the world is going through, he always finds a way to save the day...sometimes at a great cost to him.

The most interested I've ever been in Superman (but I just haven't seen a lot of Superman anything).

Team BATMAN always.🦇🖤🖤

Superman becomes the one-man United Nations, calling for a world wide ceasefire, and end to all wars, or he'll end them. He's declared to stop reactionary justice, now he'll stop evil before it happens.

His face is ugly. So is hers. That's all I have to say.

[Cristian Marrero · Rating 4 out of 5]

Superman becomes world leader?

[Bijesh Nagesh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have no words to express the sheer awesomeness of this series.

[Jared · Rating 5 out of 5]

So... this is gonna be a war between Superman and Batman eh? Along with their heroes who choose their loyalty.

[A M H · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dun dun duunnnnnn

[Sylvester · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best issue so far. Superman overcame his grief, he has revealed his alter ego and he is seeking for a new world order! All crimes shall be punished to achieve peace.
