Finally getting into the story of.........

Hello ALL GAMERS, Comic fans, or just whoever you are.........
Well it only seems fair that I have to be honest and say that for a long while now most of  my free time has been in playing this much addicted online video game based off of the image seen 
 
right here. The name of the game is called "INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US" it is also available on game systems such as the latest X-BOXES, PLAYSTATION 4s, and whatever is Nintendo latest upgrade and finally for your personal phone or tablet, which I have yet to talk about in my past vacation time to Minnesota and the Dakotas as well, when I first got it I without a doubt had to download it since it was free anyway. As you can see it has a fight feel to it and it was made by the last group company wise that worked on Mortal Kombat  games in the latter two thousands, they are called NetherReleam anyway this entry's not about my progress within the game itself but rather the very line of Detective Comics that are based off of the game itself!
About a week ago, I had picked up volume one of this trade of two at least so far that I know of for now anyway. When I did get this I also got a couple of comic trades of the one seen holding the chunk of kyptonite at the one shooting  laser beams from his peepers.....in the intro of the game Superman says "So many lives lost,  because I held back......" it also has a quote from the Barry Allen "Flash" character of "This  isn't what we signed up for, I let myself believe we are making a difference,but we are not ...." One from the Amazon Princess Wonder Woman that says "Man's temper for aggression can only be quelled, we are here to save mankind...."Superman's foe Lex Luthor is the only villain in the opening tease of the game and here is what he has to say "No good comes from Hero Worship.......", then of course their is detective comics' birthday boy of the year known as Batman, whose says this at the end of the intro of the game "We have hidden in the shadows for too long, We must stand up to this regime once and for all....." The first issue is set in the present time of D.C. Comics Current timeline or so it says with Batman looking over Gotham city and is deep in troubled thoughts for the whole city is too much at ease for his comfort, in fact he is scarred to admit that his alien friend of the justice league is at fault for all that now occurrences happening around the whole world! We jump back in time to five years ago.... it just so happens that Superman's human wife is pregnant with their child and Clark  is so nervous one night during the first trimester that he can't sleep, for he is well anyway you put it excited simply for he will soon know what being a father is like for he can hear two heart beats. Before he and Lois even finish their first fight of how to raise a baby with super powers, she gets a call on her cellphone from the Daily Planet where they both work to check out something with Jimmy Olson, yet before parting ways she tells him to have fun being a super hero. 

The next thing we see is Superman is standing by as Batman is taking down some local Metropolis set of street thugs over wanting to know about some very sensitive knowledge from Star Labs. After finding out nothing for a moment, the two heroes head for the highest building tops in the city to have a late night chat, meanwhile in the night at the docks Jimmy is killed and Lois goes missing......the next morning Superman finds Olson's body on the docks and lets Bruce summon all the members of the Justice League to find his beloved Lois. After stopping the Joker and his crazed gal pal Harley Qinn from stealing a submarine which she named "Gunter"   

So you'd think that the Joker and his girl win right?, well without giving away anything "Yes they do but no they don't as well?", say what?" as you can tell by reading this I went to the end of part one of this six part story without letting you know that something had to give to push Superman over the edge to become power mad in a way that Lex Luthor never attempted to do directly to pain the soul of his foe......and even though it's based off of a video game they had to have a tie in to the main D.C. universe at sometime! 

So here is what happened Batman's got himself and Barry Allen the Flash searching out Metropolis where Superman can't for the very thing they are searching for is like the color of this very text and is capable of killing him. When the three met in Star Labs the man of steel loses it altogether after hearing who has his wife, when he finds the Joker and Harley Qinn over his wife at the docks he's right into his save her mode which turns out to be truly the no-no thing to do for Batman's foes have not only put superman in a no-win bind by having him see Lois as the character that killed him back in the early nineteen nineties, before they even tied the knot.....DOOMSDAY is certainly not the real threat at all unless you reach the end of the issue and see this......

Not only should Lois and the unborn baby be dead , but what the city of Metropolis itself? shouldn't be dust too?

My thoughts: It has as I have said a while since I've read any comic story at all, but that is just life sometimes..... Still I have to admit even though my tablet version of the game won't let me interact with the newest online part of it, I'm still waiting from the game programmers/designers to fix a few problems, I that will be soon hopefully. As for the art of the story it is both good and bad at the same time, good because it gives a bunch of comic artists work which is great! The bad for me on the art front is this it reminds me of what almost any direct tie to a movie looks like too dark with the inks of the characters, that why I don't like movie tie comics but for the stories sake I'm willing to give it a try.
