New writer Brian Buccellato (DETECTIVE COMICS, THE FLASH) and artists Bruno Redondo and Mike S. Miller (BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED) continue to expand the world of the hit video game from the makers of MORTAL KOMBAT in INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: YEAR FOUR! When Superman and the Justice League declared themselves the ultimate authority on planet Earth, only Batman stood against them-but now Batman is defeated. His resistance army has suffered major losses and dwindled to nearly nothing. The man who always has a backup plan for his backup plans has nothing-except for one final, desperate gambit.The gods of Olympus are real, and they're none too pleased about Superman and the League making themselves into gods on Earth. With no other options, Batman turns to Ares, the God of War, to enlist the Greek pantheon into the battle with Superman. The Man of Steel may be strong enough to take on a god, but what happens when his closest ally (who happens to be the daughter of Zeus) is turned against him?Collecting INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: YEAR FOUR #1-7.

      In this prequel to the video game of the same name, after the Joker destroys Metropolis and tricks Superman into killing a pregnant Lois Lane, Superman murders the Joker and decides to bring peace to the world through force and fear, creating and leading a superpowered global police organization. Many heroes support him, but Batman rebels, pulling together an underground resistance. Here, with his forces nearly depleted, Batman joins with Ares, god of war, whose scheming has sent both the Gods of Olympus and Wonder Woman's Amazon people into battle against Superman--leaving Wonder Woman, who supports Superman, in a life-or-death dilemma. Despite the grim setup, this is no sharp postmodern deconstruction, rather a straightforward and crowd-pleasing tweaking of the DC universe, not without a sense of humor and fun (most often personified by the unpredictable Harley Quinn). The series' quality has dipped of late, yet overall it makes fine use of a wide variety of DC players and maintains drama and tension. VERDICT Very entertaining for DC fans, even those unaware of the video game.--SR
