Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Three (2014) #8 Review

Ragman and Constantine V.s Superman and the rest of the Regime.

In this issue Ragman is using his Suit of Souls to imprison Superman and end the Regime. However Superman is too strong and after activating his comm-link calls for backup. This results in Shazam incapacitating the Ragman and despite his protests, watches as the Spectre kills him. The rest of the Regime turn up and turn their focus on Constantine.

I feel so sorry Ragman in this issue, who is used and then killed when Constantine decides to turn his back on his "friend." This comic takes inspiration from the Hellblazer titles and I love how it keeps his personality very much the same: manipulative, inelligent and dangerous to anyone who forms a partnership with him.

I love how this title focuses on the interrogation of Superman and am interested to know how Superman managed to get out of the suit's power, though he was overpowered before hand.

This entire issue is why I love the occult. The magic that these characters wield is both amazingly powerful and fascinating how it ffects the user or it's target. Ragman was a hero I was unfamiliar with before this issue and it has made me want to go back and look up the character.

That is what I love in comics, if they make you like the character in one comic, then you will want to know about a character's backstory in another and you will actively read those comics to learn more. Though the story progresses extremly slowly, (a small number of scenes throughout this title) the detail in character development is astonishing. I like comics that choose to develope characters, just as much as issues with lots of action and emotion and this issue and title as a whole lives up to this.
