Injustice 2 Comic Hints at the Epic War Against Brainiac

In NetherRealm Studio's newest fighting game, Injustice 2, it's no secret that there's a greater threat afoot—far beyond Superman and the supposed threat of bringing back the Regime. And that threat is none other than Brainiac, the big bad who's hinted to be puppeteering in the darkness.

For tie-up comic care of publisher Jim Lee, the expectation is that there will still be a divided world among the heroes: those who side with Superman and those who are with Batman. But the cover that Lee shared in a preview (via IGN), it sees that all the heroes are somehow united on one side, with Brainiac on the other. Yes, even Superman and his supporters are there.

"I'm a big fan of Injustice and thrilled to be part of the Injustice 2 comic launch. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have an exciting story in the works that will only add to the massive anticipation around the upcoming game."

There's no question about this, seeing as how the predecessor title, Injustice: Gods Among Us, has been a hit with fans. But the deepening story, even better customization, and looming darkness of a bigger threat are bound to make old-timers and even new players give it a spin.

Injustice 2 will be out on May 16. Injustice tie-in digital comic will be written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Bruno Redondo. We're expecting more heroes included in the comic alongside their reveal for the game.
