Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Zero is a thrilling prequel to the critically acclaimed Injustice comic series, written by Tom Taylor. Set before the events of Injustice: Gods Among Us, this gripping storyline explores the origins of the tragic conflict between Earth's greatest heroes and the rise of Superman’s authoritarian rule.  

The story takes readers back to World War II, where the Justice Society of America (JSA) fights alongside Allied forces to combat the Nazis. During this time, the legendary heroes come into possession of the Amulet of Apophis, a mystical artifact capable of controlling minds. Decades later, Joker discovers its existence, setting off a chain of events that will change history. By using the amulet’s power, the Clown Prince of Crime manipulates Superman into committing an unthinkable act—one that plants the seeds of his future transformation into a ruthless dictator.  

As the Justice League begins to fracture, Batman, Wonder Woman, and other iconic heroes find themselves on opposing sides of an impending war. Year Zero masterfully builds tension, revealing how Superman’s descent into tyranny was not an instant decision but a carefully manipulated fall from grace.  

With stunning artwork and a narrative filled with intense action, moral dilemmas, and heartbreaking betrayals, Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Zero is a must-read for fans of the franchise. This prequel provides a deeper understanding of the events leading up to Injustice and delivers an unforgettable look at how power, tragedy, and manipulation can shape the fate of the world's greatest heroes.
