Injustice Gods Among Us: Year Three (2014) #10 Review

Deadman dead and the Swamp Thing joins Superman's One Earth Regime... "The Green will rise" and probably destroy everything the Insurgency has been planning for the last couple of issues.

This issue was just so tense, setting up more questions that it does answer. A quick synopsis would be; the Spectre cuts Deadman with a blade that causes a fatal wound, Batman and Constantine try to recruit Swamp Thing for the Insurgency, Deadman goes to Nanda Parbat where he recruits a familiar face to become the new Deadman and change the tide of the war.

For all the tension in this issue, it was nice that Zatanna provided humour, using one of her magic spells to seal both Constantine and Batman's lip together was really funny. The big twist in the final panel made my jaw drop and I was like "No  way!!! This can't be right." I'm both confused and ecstatic at the same time.

I'm not sure if I want to ruin it for those who are yet to read it, but those who have will know what I mean (I'll post the comic underneath the post).

Finally we see one of the most magical places in the Dc Universe, Nanda Parbat and I'm just hoping it will make more appearances because it is one of my favourite locations in the comic book world. I also enjoyed the Swamp Thing panels, where it is looking like Constantine and Swamp Thing will be the bitter rivals of this series, like Batman and Superman in the game.

Overall this issue is great for setting up the Swamp Thing's choice and the twist at the end will shock and surprise as it comes without any warning. Well? What was is Madame Xanadu said in #6 "A dead man will fall and a dead man will rise."?
