Review! Injustice: Gods Among Us #1 (DC)

COVER: Jheremy Raapack and Tony Avina. (third printing) Very nice painted cover!

STORY: Tom Taylor. DC is too big. Their characters and properties are worth too much money. That is
               why this kind of project is a breath of fresh air. This story can only be told in an alternate universe
               where you can show the consequences to the villains and heroes actions. It really makes the
               regular DC Universe feel stale. I am actually very surprised it took a video game to make this
               happen. Great start.

ART: Jheremy Raapack, Mike S. Miller, Axel Gimenez. (three?really?) This is a book with a very
           dark mood to it. So why the heck did DC decide to use three artists who are so damn "bright and
           shiny" in style? The cover has a dark feel to it, and from the advance images of the game, it looks
           like it will follow suit. I do not understand comic book editors.

FINAL FILE: BUY,READ,BAG IT!...never thought I would like a comic based on a future video
                        game, but I did.

Third printing cover...thanks CBR
