Green Lanterns, Yellow Lanterns and super powered riots in Gotham, oh my. Injustice Gods Among Us: Year Two #6 has quite a few surprises in store. Sinestro pulls in his corps of allies to take down the Green Lanterns, forcing Superman to draw a line in the sand. Elsewhere, super powered enforcers bring oppression to Gotham. Sick of being out matched, Commissioner Gordon takes his own stand.

Storywise, this issue is excellent. It touches on emotions, challenges the characters, and progresses the story. The characters are evolving and adapting to the twists and surprises being thrown at them. It’s a lot of fun.

This assortment of panels showcases some great close-ups of the characters. The emotions really stand out in those last two–superman with his concern, Sinestro looking smug, and Green Lantern also looking worried.

In these panels, you get a sense of the action and how well the artwork conveys the motion and array of characters in the scenes.

Meanwhile the artwork is stellar. Bruno Redondo, Julien Hugonnard-Bert and Rex Lokus achieve the perfect median of comic art. It balances between detail and stylized depictions to create imagery of the characters that is just right. They’re not too cartoony and not blandly photorealistic. Instead, they look like superb comic characters. From panel arrangement to the eye popping colors, this is top notch artwork.

Bruno does a great job with all of the group shots. I love all the detail he puts into the background characters.

I really don’t want to spoil any of the surprises, so I’m going to sop there. Suffice to say the Injustice: Gods Among Us series is going strong and issue #6 is a five out of five metal bikinis. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
