Fighting games aren't exactly known for having the best storylines, but the Injustice series, which is set in an alternate version of the DC comics universe, is an exception. Not only has the in-game storyline spanned two games so far, but its also been adapted and expanded into its own DC comics line. While the series has seen multiple collections already, the second run, aptly titled Injustice 2, will soon be collected into a massive hardcover omnibus edition. The Injustice 2 Omnibus Edition releases May 20, and preorders are available for $125 at Amazon.

Injustice 2 Omnibus Edition | Releases May 20

$125

Written by Tom Taylor--who also penned the first two years of the award-winning Injustice: Gods Among Us comic books--the Injustice 2 comics pick up shortly after the end of the first game. With the evil parallel-universe Superman of the first game locked up in a super-jail, Batman now works on rebuilding the planet after it endured five years of hell under the Man of Steel's rule. Of course, new threats reveal themselves, and Earth's heroes must once again rise up to protect its people. The omnibus includes Injustice 2 issues 1-36 and Injustice 2 Annual 1 and 2.

If you haven't read the original Injustice series yet, you can pick up an omnibus edition at a very good price through Amazon right now, as it's available for $50 (was $125). Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Edition Volume One covers the first three years of the series, and it charts the fall of Superman after he's tricked by the Joker and ends up destroying Metropolis city and accidentally killing his family, sending him into a villainous rage. Batman quickly becomes the leader of a resistance group, and it's not long before all hell breaks loose between the two former friends.

You can pair that with the second hardcover volume, which covers the rest of the epic storyline as Batman resorts to increasingly desperate measures against Superman, who has taken over the world alongside an army of supervillains. This one is also on sale for $66.24 (was $125).

Finally, there's Injustice: Year Zero on sale for $20 (was $25). This is a quick-read graphic novel at 152 pages, that it shines a light on the Justice League of America's Injustice Universe counterpart, the Justice Society of America.
