Even if you're not much interested in the world of Injustice, you might want to pick up this book"just to read an amazing, thoughtful story that asks hard questions about the choices we make in the world. Particularly if you enjoy the grim side of superheroes or wonder how easily someone with the best intentions and so much power can lose their way without even knowing they are lost, you'll want to dip your toe in the dark pool of this super-sized Annual that gives top-billing to a Wonder Woman origin story that is not going to end the way you think it will. As a bonus, you get the C-Team Suicide Squad with great underused third-rate villains like the Polka-Dot Man. Seriously: if you love comics, here's even more to love! Read Full Review

Very well done, new take on an origin story, with a fun side story afterwards as a palette cleanser for those who may find the former too dark. Read Full Review

Injustice 2 Annual #1 isn't likely to win many converts to the glories of the Injustice universe. This is not due to any lack of quality but rather due to the purpose of this volume. It is not written to attract new readers " it is here to answer the questions of the established fan base who wonder why Wonder Woman is the way she is and whatever happened to Perry, Gary, Terry and the rest. It accomplishes that goal well-enough but could have been a little better when it came to showcasing just why this setting has won so much loyalty. Read Full Review

Injustice 2 puts out a recommendable Annual issue for its fans that fills in some back stories for a few of the female centric characters featured in the story at large. The first story has much more meat on its bones than the second one, but I found both enjoyable on their own. The price however is a bit of a burden compared to what Injustice fans are normally used to. Read Full Review

The main story is done well enough across the board and I liked the visuals for it as we got some great backgrounds when on the island and the color work definitely felt appropriately dark but vibrant in a way that clicked very well. I'm admittedly a bit burned out on Wonder Woman stories when it comes to the origin at this point but this one does present enough of an interesting angle to work with even if I don't think it connects well with the main series. The bonus story in this is a lot more fun and weirdly upbeat as a kind of connecting piece from the Harley Injustice series as it follows her minions as we see what they were up to after the gang was finished. Seeing them still getting together under their gang names like Terry and Larry and the like is fun and it worked as a nice little lead-in to this main series with how the Suicide Squad types came after her. I'd rather read about this group more than another Wonder Woman story. Read Full Review

Its a cute and fun little story and of course revolving around Harley there is a little violence. This story actually seems to fit into the series better than the main story. Read Full Review

An annual focusing on two of the most prominent female characters in the Injusticeverse, this issue could have had a lot of promise, but instead reverts back to the violence and nihilism of this series at its weakest points. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman is supposed to be a love leader who would rather educate and reform. This character is literally the opposite. She is intimidating, brutal, and lost in her devotion to Superman. There is nothing wrong with having a darker version of a character (likeEarth-Three's Super Woman), but this issue is literally overshadowedby Superman multiple times and is so heavily based on other popular versions of the character that it feels likethey were trying to force a concept instead of developing a unique character. If you are a reader who can put all that aside, then you might enjoy this issue quite a bit. The art is very well done at least. For people who understand why the original Wonder Woman was created, this issue only makes it clearer how much we still need her. Read Full Review

Injustice 2 Annual #1 had the potential to tell an origin story as powerful as Superman's, but misses the mark. Read Full Review
