During the Injustice 2 panel, DC announced that in the months leading up to the anticipated sequel they will release a digital first prequel comic with fan-favourite writer Tom Taylor returning to the Injustice world. Taylor wrote the Injustice: Year One comic, a prequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us that told the story of how Superman fell from grace and became a tyrannical leader on a parallel Earth. He stayed on the title until midway through Injustice: Year Three, at which point Brian Buccellato took over and is currently in the middle of Injustice: Year Five, telling the events directly leading into the hit video game.
DC Comics put out a statement on the comic and Taylor’s stewardship of the title, saying:
DC Entertainment announced today during the Injustice 2 panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego that acclaimed writer Tom Taylor is returning to the earth shattering Injustice universe. Taylor will helm the new Digital First prequel comic book series based on the highly anticipated Injustice 2 videogame developed by NeatherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Taylor played a pivotal role in creating the best-selling Injustice: Gods Among Us comic and served as the series’ original writer. His run quickly became a fan-favorite and was widely considered a huge critical and sales success.
“Having had such a big role in tearing apart the Injustice universe and its characters, I’m very excited for the opportunity to return and do it again,” said Taylor. “To be given so much freedom to play with the world’s greatest Super Heroes and Super-Villains every week is a dream, and I want to thank everyone at DC, WBIE and NetherRealm for their continued faith in me, editor Jim Chadwick, and our incredible team.”
