2.5 Stars.It is a sad day when I don't enjoy an installment in one of my favorite series...This is the volume that everyone feared. Year Three, Vol. 2 is the first volume under a different writer, Buccellato takes over after Tom Taylor's excellent job and... I didn't love this one. It is, so far, the weakest volume.Sure, it wasn't an easy job. Injustice: Gods among us is one of my favorite stories and this Year in particular is a really hard one to write. We have a lot of new, obscure characters...

The injustice series is the best Video game comic adaptation I've read. The stories always feel fresh and new and Volume 2 of year 3 is no different, While I would agree as the series has gone on its lost some of its luster, but there's still some very interesting stories going on. I highly recommend not only this book, but all the injustice volumes. Some great storytelling in this series.I received an advanced copy of this from NetGalley.com and the publisher.

Everyone is getting in on this fight. Demons, Magical Elementals, Swamp Thing versus Poison Ivy, and all the Supes are locking themselves within the Houses of Mystery and Secrets. What a rush.The art is great, but the story is pretty damn fantastic. It's a lot more than a bash-em, hack-em tale. It's more like a long game of chess with these blokes on the table. Right, Constantine?Damn fun stuff, a no holds barred free for all where anyone can and probably will die. The reversals are sudden and f...

This was a good start for Brian Buccellato but it's hard to fill the shoes of Tom Taylor. This book basically just covered one entire fight that the opposing forces had with each other. And of course it happened in some strange magical realm.The only issue I had with this was that the artwork was significantly less impressive than it had been in the past. The proportions were kind of weird and some panels made them look short but still really beefed up.And I still stand by the assumption that ev...

Incredible...I don't understand the backlash from this one but this was absolutely incredible. The twists and surprises were jaw dropping. I love Brian Buccellato works and he did not disappoint at all.Finally found out where the Teen Titans have been through all this, and Supermans treachery knows no bounds. I get he loved Lois but destroying an entire planet and the people for one woman is incredibly selfish. I have a feeling Starfire and Red Robin will make a definitive comeback but not in th...

Definitely a step down in quality, much too much magicking and the "filler" issues at the end were just that. Still, I liked it a lot in spite of myself, and the non-stop square-offs probably brought the title closer to its video game source material than ever.

Just not as good as previous volumes, and with Tom Taylor's leaving the series storyline was just a decent ending of a DC comics magic guys royal rumble.

(Received from Netgalley for review.)I've loved Injustice under Tom Taylor, so I was both excited to get approved for this new volume and a little apprehensive. How would Buccellatio do in his first few issues? These are pretty big shoes to fill, in my opinion. And, as it turned out, he did a pretty good job. He starts fairly strong, by resolving a plot thread that Taylor left dangling in a truly unexpected way. The middle does get a little bogged down, and slows the pace considerably, but he ma...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review.Pretty good continuation from the new helmsman for this title, Brian Buccalleto. The story almost got out of control, but by the end of the main arc, it was sufficiently reined in. I was kind of surprised at the two tales included at the end, but they were quite necessary for understanding what had happened leading up to the main arc.Some surprises in this one, from certain villains appearing to some shocking deaths. S...

Too much damned magic.

I am tearing through these books because they are relentlessly entertaining. The only reason this one gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is essentially a housekeeping issue, where we see some loose ends tidied up done with a few flashbacks to the beginning of the tale.I kind of get the feeling that people were asking, “What about the Teen Titans?” and “Where is [fill in obscure magic user]?” So Taylor has answers for all of that, which he again manages to fit into the larger tale seamlessly...

Its still good.The writing change does hasten the plot but we have the magic war finally and we see (view spoiler)[ Trigon come in demanding for his daughter and then enter Mr Mxzyptlk and their reality warpng fights and how the heroes have to fight (hide spoiler)] together to defeat them and then there is interesting turn with John and a story with Dr Occult which was weird and the machinations of the hellblazer and a story with the Teen Titans and where they have been.Its a weird volume and c...

I opened Year Three: Vol. 2 with apprehension (maybe too strong a word?) for two valid reasons: would this be any good in the wake of Tom Taylor's departure from the series, and would it still be heavy on the mystical mumbo-jumbo that permeated Year Three, Vol. 1?Well, I think things mostly got back on track with this volume, or at least 'magic' angle was now in equal parts to the action, scheming and unexpected deaths (there was one here that caught me off-guard during the big battle) that have...

Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three Volume 2 by Brian Buccellato is a change from original writer Tom Taylor. The first issue in this volume is probably my second favorite since the first issue. In this issue Superman dreams what if Lois lived instead of died, having Batman kill the Joker to protect Clark, as he say where the Joker almost took him. The first three issues are great but the last three kept slipping in quality. The epilogue of the Teen Titans and why they are not involved in the e...

I felt like this was very short but eventful. Superman is no longer neutralized, and he's madder than ever. Constantine is up to his scheming at maximum levels. I liked that this one had lots of magic in it. Injustice messes with my head, because Superman is a terrible and formidable villain. Wonder Woman as well. Ugh, her crush on Superman has made her into a terrible dupe. I am and always will be Team Batman, just saying. The body count is always high in this series, and I hate that people fal...

This was a good comic, with Illustration style that I like, all my favorite super heroes in it, if Superman is in it, I am in, and a good plot. The mythology element was cool, it gave a little something to the plot that made it more interesting. But I didn't feel much invested with the comic, I felt passing pages at some point because it was a little slow at the beginning but in the end it was good. Overall 3 stars.

And here I was done. There was just a hodgepodge of stories only parenthetically related to the main drama and I had a hard time maintaining enough interest to finish it. Perhaps it was the author switch but, I gave up on Injustice after this.

Not as mindblowingly great or jawdroppingly awesome as the first two Years. Too many new characters, too much confusing magical mumbo-jumbo, too little coherent storyline. The change in quality of writing (in terms of characterizations, prose-quality, dialogs, depths-detailing, morality plays and ethical conundrums) from the absolutely wonderful and perfect Tom Taylor who elevated this series miles above any game-tie in comics ever deserves into one of the best outputs of DC in recent years, to

As always with Injustice: Gods Among Us, this volume was full of fast paced action, conflict of good vs. evil, humanity vs. godlike creatures, along with beautiful art. However, the change of writer shows and while the story is engaging, it lacks the emotional depth and incredible characterization of Tom Taylor. I'd recommend these series to anyone who is a fan of superheroes (or even if you aren't, trust me, you will love this!), but the first three volumes - Year One Vol.1, Year One Vol.2 and

3.5-4These idiots are still fighting.
