Injustice 3 beast boy3/28/2023 The story starts with the deaths of Bart Allen and Beast Boy in the nuclear blast and follows the Titans as they are informed by Nightwing of the situation (after which Nightwing leaves, which should be your cue that something not-so-wonderful is going to occur to the Titan team).Ĭonner takes the leads in the story of might-makes-right vs. Over the course of the past two years in Injustice we’ve watched Superman take a long slow slide into despotic evil, but here he’s irredeemably awful within days of killing the Joker. This story has a lot of potential, but I found it problematic in the one way that Year One never was for me: Superman behaves so far out of character it’s not only inconceivable, but, frankly, kind of offensive. The events of this story take place starting at the point of detonation: the Joker’s bomb goes off in Metropolis in the opening scene, taking out two of said Titans in the blast and leaving Conner (Kon-El, a.k.a Superboy) deeply and traumatically affected. New Injustice writer Brian Buccellato takes a crack at visiting the past world of Injustice in this tale of what happened to the Teen Titans way back in Year One. Written by Brian Buccellato, pencils by Sergio Davila, inks by Juan Albarran. Occult most recently made a solo appearance in Justice League Dark in which he was unceremoniously killed. Occult in the DCU (or Rose Psychic, his sometimes daughter/partner who, after Neil Gaiman did some rewriting became one half of the Occult personality in The Books of Magic ). Leger & Reuths were the pen names of Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Seigel He is currently the oldest DCU character still active. Occult predates Batman by 4 years (and is celebrating his 80th birthday this year!). Some characters gets killed and we see some backstory on Raven and Wonder Woman, but none of this is really new or vital information. But ultimately I don’t feel like the story really provides much of a contribution to the overall Injustice universe. This is a fun story and Xermanico does some great work: the full page splash in which Raven unleashes her power is a stunner and there’s a wonderful contrast between the action and the more subdued conversational pages (even the shift in tone with the colors from cool greens and blues to overheated reds and yellows contributes some wonderful flavors to the pages). Here he tells the story of how Constantine first got involved with the problem of Superman, how he came to imprison Raven, and, as is par for the course with John Constantine, get all his allies killed in the process. Ray Fawkes is no stranger to the character of John Constantine, having written his regular series since Hellblazer closed up shop and the new Constantine opened its doors. Both are filler stories that happen before the events of Year Three even begin, so it might feel a little strange reaching back into the recesses of memory to place these tales in their proper context. Release window eyed for 2022.For Year Three’s Injustice Annual we get two stories: “A Proper Mage” and “Fall of the Titans”.
