Books 170 and 171: "Injustice: Gods Among Us Year One and Two" by Tom Taylor


If you are a fan of DC- or really superheros in general- (and who isn't these days?), I highly recommend these graphic novels. The popular fighting video game (also really cool) is based on these (or vice versa? I'm not really sure and get conflicting evidence when I Google it.)

The graphic novels are set in an almost an alternate universe where the Joker causes Superman to become the antagonist. Basically, in the name of preventing crime, Superman does what everyone fears he will do and becomes a dictator and attempts to take over the world for permanent "peace".  The Justice League is split in two, as some join Superman and some join Batman in his fight against Superman's tyranny.

Batman is the star of these graphic novels and basically shows how freaking awesome and smart he is. He's at least 10 steps ahead of everyone all the time.

There are currently 4 years to the series, I still need to read 3 and 4. These are beautifully drawn and just fantastic. So if this is your thing- read them. Read them now.
