Injustice: Ground Zero #1

If you have yet to visit the world of Injustice, these two comics are a perfect entry point. The first issue neatly summarizes the story thus far for new readers (but you really should read the original series!) and the second one is filled with Harley Quinn's special brand of madcap hilarity. The artwork looks astonishing and perfectly captures the spirit of the writing. This is a fun comic, plain and simple. Read Full Review

“All Bad Things Must End” is a great beginning story to Injustice: Ground Zero. Christopher Sebela really knows how to write Harley so well and shows he really knows the world he's working with. The art from Pop Mahn and Tom Derenick was awesome and very colorful. With this series, there doesn't seem to be any required reading or playing to just jump into this comic, which you so definitely should. Read Full Review

This is a really good start to the next phase of the injustice story. Christopher Sebela and Pop Mhan give new readers a great jumping on point and veterans a smile worthy recap to the entire series. It's all told through the eyes of Harley Quinn and Sebela seems to already "get" what made her the best character in this entire series. Just when I thought I was out... Read Full Review

Injustice: Ground Zero doesn't come out of the gate with guns a blazing, but it's still a great read with a nice balance of solid storytelling and pleasing artwork. As a whole package it's worthy of the Injustice name. Where it sags a little is in the heaviness of the narrative exposition, and some questionable strategy on the part of Harley Quinn. Maybe we shouldn't bother questioning it because it is Harley, but I found myself at that threshold anyway, which tells me something maybe doesn't quite add up. Still a satisfying book and I'm looking forward to where this off-shoot story is going! Read Full Review

For anyone who read the original Injustice storyline or played the game, this a great series to read in order to get a new take on the entire ordeal. Readers who are new to Injustice will enjoy it just as much, so long as they pay close attention to Harley's storytelling in this issue. Either way, this is a great read for anyone interested in the DC Universe. Read Full Review

I'll easily admit some wariness about the concept behind this series because I have no idea how much story was actually involved in the fighting game that it's working off of. It has to do certain things to appeal to fans of the game but it also has to work as a continuation of what came before and be accessible to new readers as well as those that never played the game. It's a tall order but the team here did a great job out of the gate in providing crucial foundational pieces. Yeah, it's recap. But it's beautifully illustrated and well paced recap with enough twists and nods to push it into a must-read category even if you've read every single digital issue that came before. Hell, it's worth a couple of bucks just for Pop Mhan's artwork alone. Definitely recommended and it has me hopeful that this series can build upon and exceed the Gods Among Us books as it progresses.

Overuse of Harley doesn't make this good.
