What is the usual delay for Injustice 2 issues to come out in print? I just saw some heartbreaking pages that I think are from the recently-released #9:

https://comicnewbies.com/2017/06/07/booster-gold-says-good-bye-to-blue-beetle-injustice-ii/

But how long before #9 comes out as a print issue I can buy at my comic shop? I've never read Injustice before, but apparently there's a delay.

I didn't realize they double up issues, so thank you for that!

Yeah. 'Digital First' issues are half page height (and weekly and only $1) so only make up half a comic when they're stacked up for print.

First two Injustice digital pages.



First print/collected page.

It’s Injustice. A happy ending probably isn’t in the cards.

The only happy ending in all of Injustice is Black Canary's, and she got dragged back for the sequel.

She still gets a happy ending. Her and Ollie's kid goes on playdates with Harley's little girl and they all join the JLA. :colbert:

If they're going to make an Injustice 3 they probably use the Superman ending of the main game, and that's not good for anyone.

Actually, I think Boon's already said they'd do the Batman ending.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The Batman ending was so dumb and bland, though. The Superman ending has a million times more story potential.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I'd actually be cool with them going to a different Earth in a third installment. Either make this new Earth the flip side of Injustice 1 and 2 where Batman went bad or where half of the JLA gets wiped out and Bats, Supergirl, and company need to help htem.

Help, I've turned into a manifestation of mental disorders as viewed through an early 20th century lens sparked by the disparity between man and modern society and I can't get up
The problem I see with Injustice is that it doesn't have anywhere to go aside from backwards.

You've had superheroes/villains forming factions and fighting one another in the first
You've got them reforming alliances to fight a bigger threat in the second

So where do you go from there? An even bigger threat than Brainiac? And this time they have to really team up for serious. I'd think the third installment would have to set its sights a little more low-key.

Earth gets megafucked because there's no Superman around so Flash goes back to stop him from going bad, but that breaks stuff further. If you say it's a take on Flashpoint people might forget that's exactly what the reboot Mortal Kombat was.

Something like that would let them bring back favorites and dead characters though.

As long as future flash is grizzled and bearded I can get with this

And as long as it also maintains the MK reboot theme of '[time traveller] is actually a huge gently caress-up', rather than just 'oh no you broke time!'

Yeah Green/White Martians and Durlans. More so Durlans because there have been plotlines with them spying on everyone like Skrulls.

Super pill causes her to lose the baby. Superman goes into a depression and hides away in the fortress. Barry tries to go there to apologize, but bumbling chowder waiter shenanigans with the security system cause him to release Zod from the Phantom Zone.

Barry tries to stop Zod himself but the battle ends up destroying Coast City. Hal Parallaxes.

Barry traps Zod in the Speed Force, but he escapes soon after and bursting back into the regular dimension destroys Smallville.

With Chaykin's art style, every woman is arguably a trans woman.

To be fair, his works have a fairly misogynist streak, too. I love how the Shadow had a "oh the hero is a misogynist from a different time, heh heh" but of course the modern girl can't resist his charms anyways.

Injustice 3's Earth-3 revolves around Ultraman who, after a terrible tragedy involving a nuclear bomb, realizes what a monster he's become and sets about reforming the world, struggling with Owl-Man who refuses to leave the criminal ways. Eventually Owl-Man is forced to go to another universe for help, bringing over the greatest threat the world has ever known: Superman.
