Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Vol. 1

This is one of the best Justice League stories ever. What happens when the most powerful man on earth loses his moral compass? Superman murdered the Joker after the Joker tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn baby. Further, Joker set a dead man switch which nuked Metropolis with the death of Lois Lane. In order to "save" the world, Superman and his allies decided to impose their will on the peoples of earth. Batman, of course, kept his moral compass and opposed the super dictatorship thus setting up a fight to the death and there are death a plenty. There are elements of Kingdom Come and Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme 12 issue limited series. In Kingdom Come, Lois was also killed by a super villain but instead of losing it, Superman retreated from society. After 20 years, he was convinced to come out of retirement by Wonder Woman. The 1980's Squadron Supreme limited series saw the Squadron impose Utopia with Nighthawk (Batman analogue) opposing and forming for a resistance team. If you like this omnibus, go read those two graphic novels. This volume presents years 1, 2 and 3 of the 5 years before the video game of the same name. I hope DC will publish volume 2 of this series and present years 4, 5, related stories and the sequel, Injustice 2.

Okay guys, the story is stellar and the art is fun and it keeps you interested, I would have LOVED an all black cover with gold embossed letters beyond the dust jacket but am I satisfied HELL YES, I am particularly proud of the way women take the reigns in this comic too, at this price point too what’s to dislike?! Guys if you want a great story it’s here. I happen to be a guy who loves his one stories meaning, I like when I can pick up a graphic novel and know everything that’s going on, just reading what’s there. I will probably buy again for my cousin, BOTTOM LINE: GREAT STORY AND GREAT FIRST OMNIBUS FOR BEGINNERS 😀😀😀👌🤗💯

What would you do if in the blink of an eye you lost everything you've ever loved? Would you pick yourself up off the ground and move on, or would you give in to despair? This is the scenario the Man of Steel is faced with. His city, his wife, even his unborn child: all gone by his own hand. In response, in a moment of pure rage and emotional turmoil Superman goes after the man responsible and does the unthinkable. Superman kills the Joker. This is the inciting incident. Now, after losing everything and acquiring a taste for blood, Superman goes to work. The Regime is born and the Justice League stands divided. Some follow Superman because they agree with actions. Others follow out of fear. But some... some won't bend the knee so easily. Don't let the fact that this is a video game tie in turn you away. This is much more than a tie in. This is an epic that eclipses the game itself. This is DC's Civil War, and while it might not be part of the main canon, the world created here feels fully developed and lived in. These may be alternate versions of your favorite characters, but they still feel like the heroes and villains you know. If you consider yourself a fan of DC or superheroes in general I implore you to read this. And pick up Volume 2 while you're at it. This story is a great deconstruction of the Superman character and showcases why his idealism that some may find corny is so very important. When the world's greatest hero turns his back on us, who do we turn to?

I don't want to get into the story so I'll comment on the condition of the book when I received it the box was beat up but the book itself was so well wrapped that it was in perfect condition on arrival.

Well constructed and printing is nice and glossy and pages are thick. If you are a fan of the material, this is a must have for your collection. Worth the price of admission.

I watched the animated movie before the reading the omnibus, the movie is great but once you read the comic you'll see the true story. The movie leaves out so much, I purchased 1 and 2 from Amazon and read both in a couple weeks. The story and the art work is great. I had almost stopped reading comics but after reading Injustice I'm back into comics full force lol. I honestly can't recommend Injustice 1 and 2 enough, great product and arrived in perfect shape. I hear all these stories about people receiving beat up books from Amazon but I've never gotten anything but perfect copies each time.

Un chef d'oeuvre tant graphique que scénaristique;...indispensable dans toute bibliothèque de passionnés.

Die Injustice Reihe ist für Superhelden-Fans ein absolutes Highlight und selbst für die, die den Superhelden weniger abgewinnen können würden auf ihre Kosten kommen, denn es gibt einfach keine Tabus! Team Batman vs. Team Superman, Helden bekämpfen sich bis aufs Blut und darüber hinaus, es gibt keine Tabus... Einfach eine perfekte, in sich geschlossene Story, die keinen Anspruch auf Kontinuität hat. Abgeschlossen in 2 herrlichen Omnibus Bänden.

I am a longtime fan of the Injustice video games, and I think that both games tell incredible stories. So being a fan of the game and being able to read more lore from the world is amazing, seeing other people's perspectives and being able to see more of your favourite characters that weren't in the game that much. This story is big too, over 1000 pages of content. All the pages are beautiful on a nice glossy comic paper with a really cool spine that matches if you get the second volume as well. If you are a fan of Injustice you will love this comic. If you are a fan of elseworlds stories exploring a different universe then the main continuity then you will love this story. I really enjoyed reading this and it's one of those comics that when you start reading it you literally do not want to stop and I love that.

Storyline is very good. I kept wanting to know what happened in the end. One of the more exciting graphic novels I have read.

Super....
