Injustice: Ground Zero # 1 2016 VF/NM

Injustice: Ground Zero #1, released by DC Comics on December 14, 2016 (despite its 2017 cover date), serves as a re-telling of the first Injustice: Gods Among Us video game's main story, but from the unique, chaotic perspective of Harley Quinn. It is a prequel to the Injustice 2 series.

Storyline Overview

The series re-adapts the core narrative of the video game where the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn child, leading to Superman's descent into a totalitarian ruler and the formation of Batman's resistance. The key difference is the perspective:

• Harley's View: The story is framed through Harley Quinn's eyes, providing her unique, often manic, and humorous perspective on the world-altering events.
• The Joker's Legacy: The first issue deals with the immediate aftermath of the Joker's plot succeeding and his subsequent death at Superman's hands. Harley witnesses the start of the war between Batman and Superman.
• From Villain to Hero: The series covers Harley's shift from being the Joker's sidekick to a key member of Batman's Insurgency, showing her inner thoughts and motivations as she fights the Regime in her own unconventional way.

Key Characters

• Harley Quinn: The narrator and main character of the series.
• The Joker: His initial actions drive the plot.
• Batman & Superman: The leaders of the two opposing sides of the conflict.
