jon you better come back home to your boyfriend and your mom

Great but much too short

The story was over before it seemed to begin. I loved the kissing panel and would love to see more, please. The ending is a very unexpect twist and, of course, how to get home and keep his promise. Onlu time (and issues) will tell the tale.

Woah.
So I didn't read comics or the right ones during the Jon Kent being held captive and how he got aged up etc arc so I never know what they're talking about when they go into detail about this. I won't pretend otherwise.

But I wasn't expecting anything that happened in this issue.
Lois talking about how she handles being Superman's partner, and what that can mean for her. And then Jon facing down Ultraman and using a new power was pretty impressive, too. I really enjoyed this issue and oof seeing Superman kill someone ... I know it's injustice and all but just he came out of no where and Ka-POW.
Then that little tear... I am waiting for issue #3 and I am so sad it's not out yet.

Phenomenal issue

Jon Kent fulfills his mission.
The cost is huge.
The artwork is phenomenal and the writing is awesome.
Read this issue.

Good content but ehy is the paper quality so low and completely different from the 1st issue?

[Joey Amorim · Rating 4 out of 5]

I could point some issues I have with this, but when it's finished, all I wanna do is pump my fist in the air and shout "Wooooooo Injustice! Let's goooooooo!"

Same as first issue:
Somewhat interesting story, average to slightly below average art - the artist, Clayton Henry, is uninspired and lazy, but not as bad as some.

Ultraman is killing Supermen in all the multiverses. And Jon has to join up with Val Zod Superman to stop him.

"All that power. And absolutely no strength."

I gather that some people don't like Tom Taylor's writing.

Whatever.

This is one of many beautifully-written Tom Taylor comic books.

I loved the high stakes. Why the rush?
