Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Three (2014) #7 Review

Superman bleeding? Magic rules with vengeance as he is taken prisoner. Things are going from bad to worse for Superman's Regime, with his capture adding to their defeats.

In this issue, Teekl has freed Raven's spirit, allowing her to reveal her location to Superman. Superman goes rescue her and after freeing her from her imprisonment is attacked and bound up by an unknown patchwork cloak (Ragman.) The real Raven has been moved by Klarion and Constantine and he has fallen for the Insurgency trap.

This is a change to the war, since Batman's Insurgency has been constantly beaten down and broken by Superman's forces. I love this as it shows that Kryptonians are no more powerful than the average mortal (even if he is wearing a magical patchwork suit.)

There is a great conversation between Klarion and Constantine, Klarion has become my favourite character in this series, where Klarion's moral compass comes into question and Constantine has to remind him "Your a necromancer who likes to play with dead people... who likes to reanimate corpses" which results in Klarion merely saying "fair enough." I just love the casualness of this statement and the fact that he agrees with it.

 

I'm not sure about the Spectre though. His character is rather annoying me .... and he killed Jason Blood.

However apart from the Spectre's fire first attitude the other characters I really like. Maybe I just need to wait and see if he'll improve. But that is my only complaint about the comic. The issue I just adore and the dark humour that is brought forward from Constantine and Klarion just add to tension when the action happens.
