Learn the origins of the God of War while, in the present, he teases Superman with the road to ultimate victory-"In order to fight Gods...you need GODS."
While by no means a bad installment, Injustice takes a bit of a breather here in essence to provide the reasoning for the motivations of what Ares is up to in this larger battle. This provides some new context and scale that works surprisingly well in establishing things for the character in a way that works for me. It doesn't make him someone you want to hang around with but you can at least understand it. Seeing how it all ties into what's going on with this fight between Superman and Batman and how the manipulations are feeding Ares even more is pretty solid, all of which leads to some really big chaos about to land on the doorstep of Themyscira. It's definitely going big with this series once again and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Read Full Review
I liked this issue more than last week, but that's not saying too much. This issue is pure setup, but it does setup some pretty awesome Year of the Gods events that I can't wait to see. I really liked Tom Derenick's art, but in the end, I can't recommend this issue. I hope that changes soon. Read Full Review
