Tom Taylor has knocked it out the park with this series. It genuinely puts DC back on the map.Who needs a good superman when you've got evil superman working with Lex Luthor and Sinestro.It was a stroke of genius bringing in Sinestro. He's one of my favourite villains.
I thought that there were too many side stories and that the main intrigue got nearly completely forgotten. I gave the series one last chance after this.
To be honest, I’m not sure if my (low) rating is due to:✘ The repetitive storylines and my complete inability to stand twists upon twists upon twists upon… oh, is that a twist? CAN’T WE KILL SUPERMANASSHOLE AND CALL IT A DAY? I am not the suited reader for that kind of endless redirections of plot (that’s why I don’t usually read superheroes comics)✘ The weakening in the humor department : one of the main reasons I’ve been loving this series so far was its sarcastic input. Please don’t screw it....
This was so good!!John Constantine enters and well he is here to protect his daughter and we see his machinations with Trigon and Raven and then he brings Bruce in to deal with Clark but well all magical users enter the field but enter The Spectre whose here to protect the evil tyrant and well a magical war on both sides and we see magical beings enter and the fall of heroes from both sides and some amazing moments with Xanadu and then a big battle of Superman and Batman with magic on their side...
My favourite character is still Harley. Something must be wrong with me. She is consistently funny, but also smart when needed. And damn hot... That helps too.Since the physical fighting had plenty of spotlight up to now, it seems this volume focuses on magical wards and attacks. Both sides have their own powerful magic users, though I've read most of Hellblazer, so my money is on Constantine. He'll win this even if he has to kill Batman and all his allies. Yeah, you have to know Hellblazer to g...
I had my misgivings about starting this one as I am not a huge partisan of Magic DC, buuuuut HOT DAMN!!! That last issue...I won't give anything away, but it certainly tugged on my Dad Heartstrings in all kinds of good ways.
The fighting, torturing and killing continues, as the spotlight shifts from the Green Lanterns to the magicians of the DC Universe, and to John Constantine in particular: “I’m gonna kick the Man of Steel in the bollocks.” The story increasingly feels like a Who’s Who in the DC Universe, with countless long-established major and minor characters popping up (and, in many cases, dying) left and right. To the credit of writer Tom Taylor and artists Bruno Redondo and Mike S. Miller, though, the plot
"You want me and my cat to go in there and help the magician, the butler, and the psychopathic clown to save the talking detective monkey?" - Klarion the Witch BoyI think that line of dialogue epitomizes this volume. Year Three: Vol. 1 steps away from the almost non-stop superhero action-drama of years One and Two to focus much more on DC's magical / mystical and supernatural characters. Okay, kudos for trying something different to keep things fresh . . . but for me it didn't have the same impa...
I don't know about ya'll, but this sideline alternate Earth with Superman going nuts and taking the Yellow Ring is pretty damn awesome. :)My respect for Constantine through all these DC comics only grows and grows, and this is where he really shines: Magic. The one other thing that Superman is weak to. And the build-up to this showdown is freaking cool. My bet is on Constantine even if Superman is Superman and he's even wearing the Yellow Ring and standing by Sinestro's side. This is epic as hel...
I've never known much about the magic users of the DC universe, but after this volume I've definitely got to dig up some new series! Constantine is awesome, as is the weird necromancer kid and his magic cat.
More a 3-3,5 because of the art swinging from good to decent to awful, but that surprise ending was a real blast!
Two words: Detective Chimp And really, that's all I should have to say for you to realize that this is a fantastic volume of Injustice.I mean, come the fuck on, what more do you need? Ok! Ok, ok, ok.How 'bout a little magic, a lot of Constantine, a fair bit of twists and turns?This one had some great moments, but what really surprised me was Taylor's ability to...well, surprise me. I mean, THIS? Don't click this ---> (view spoiler)[ Oh my God! How did I not see that was about to happen?! After J...
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three Volume 1 by Tom Taylor, adds a little magic to this volume of Injustice. It was just a matter of time until magic got brought in, with magic being Superman's weaknesses besides kryptonite. I'm not to familiar with Justice League Dark characters The Deadman, John Constantine, Dr. Fate, Zantanna, and Swamp Thing were the character's I knew pretty well, but people like Ragman, Detective Chimp, Spectre, Madame Xanadu, and The Demon, I have little to no knowledge
Injustice has been a fantastic book from the first issue through to the end of this volume. Which is also the end of Tom Taylor's work on this book. I can't even be to sad about that, because he certainly goes out with a bang. This is a very magic-heavy volume, which is only appropriate. DC has a large and interesting stable of mystical characters, and Superman is weak against magic. It's a great fit for the book. John Constantine actually takes center stage, which struck me as odd at first. But...
I didnt love this one, I'm not a huge fan of cosmic DC, but towards the end it started to pull back towards greatness.
Superman has few vulnerabilities; one of them is magic. Enter John Constantine, powerful mage with an irreverent sense of humor and a right bloody bastard. Seems like that would even things up a bit, except Superman has the powerful Spectre on his side.All the magical heavy hitters show up in this one: the Phantom Stranger, Deadman, the demon Etrigon, Hell’s ruler Trigon, and a half-dozen more. Plus ghosts of dead heroes. The only problem is that few of these critters are on any side but their o...
After being decimated by Superman, Sinestro, and Green/Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan, Batman seeks out help from... Justice League Dark. The story was much the same as the previous volumes, with Batman and his team trying to find a way to take down Superman, who now has supernatural help. Lots of magic and demons and the like in this one,but it was kind of boring until the final part of the book. I won't write any spoilers, but the last part really carried the entire volume. This was Tom Taylor's fi...
Ahhh. This series is very refreshing when it doesn't kill my favorite characters. But I sense a trend, so I imagine one of my favorites will die in the next one, since it's a volume 2.halp mi plz, am dyingAnyway, this was great! Especially compared to the past three volumes. I mean, Superman is still a mega-douche. But the final issue really makes you remember what Superman really is and is supposed to be. The final issue is an alternate beginning to this already alternate storyline. It was very...
Admittedly not as great as the others but still awesome. Wayyyyy more Batman in this one and introduction to other characters not well known, but OMG In comes NIGHTWING....(let the drooling commence) I'm a hardcore NIGHTWING Fan so I'm over elated right now. Death Death and more Death. I have no tear ducts left after the other novels but the pain is still here. If you are not ready to lose some beloved characters, do not start this series. The graphics are beautiful even if the story suffers a b...
Unpopular review time!Am I the only one who wasn't that impressed with this volume?Scrolls through friends' reviewsYep.To clarify, it wasn't bad, I just thought it didn't live up to the first two volumes of the series. Or the last. Not all of it, anyway.Let's take Constantine. He's annoying. Occasionally funny, yes, but overall, kind of irritating. I can't really say why, but he is. One thing that bothered me was his complete willingness to sacrifice anyone - I get it, but at least blink at the
