Well this was my first read of 2015, and although it was a third volume, I don’t think I missed a lot by reading this first. Maybe I did, but I felt like THE INJUSTICE LEAGUE was fine on its own.

So we have Lex being Lex Luthor in all his evil-y goodness, and because I watched the TV show, I felt like I knew where this was going...but this comic was so much more darker than the TV show ever could be, and I was very happy about that.

He’s bringing all the bad guys back together to take over the [political] world, but like in the TV show, he seems to have issues controlling that much evil when they’re all together. Somehow Lex manages it enough to really mess with with Justice League’s day.

But, the Justice League has Batman...so, I knew that Luthor was going to lose. It felt really close though. I think it’s because Luthor had the Joker, and that freaking fucker is always causing Batman bad days.


Now, with my newness to this universe, there were a lot of heroes and villains that I didn’t know by name or even recognize. I tried, but there were some that I just couldn’t place at all. Hopefully after reading more comics, these colorful characters will all become more developed, so I’m excited about delving further into DC’s world.


Oh, my favorite Green Lantern was in this comic. I love John. He’s wonderful. And the best.


This review isn’t very good, but the comic was, and I’m definitely going to look into the other volumes to see what I’ve missed and what’s to come.
