DC Comics solicitations for the beginning of 2013 hit the web in October, but in case you missed it -- here's another reminder to get out to the local comic shop and pre-order Injustice: Gods Among Us!

Written by Tom Taylor (Star Wars: Invasion, The Deep) with art and covers from Jheremy Raapack (Legends of The Dark Knight); the series promises to spill the beans on the upcoming video game storyline -- about which we know very little!

Forty pages a month should pack plenty of punch, providing a detailed prequel to the April 2013 game release. As is explicitly captured on the cover of February's issue #2: we'll be treated to another classic clash between Superman and Batman -- world's finest heroes who've held an on-again/off-again rivalry throughout decades of comics [The Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, etc].

A tragic event is set to tear the superhero world in twain, making enemies of allies as this particular version of the DC Universe finds itself in the throes of a moral quandry. Minor spoilers were leaked to the net in August, confirming captained roles by DC's two leading men. The coming New Regime was forecast in a special July teaser trailer.

Australian writer, Taylor, isn't giving the game away just yet, but writes on his personal site of the excitement of tackling The Man of Steel and his beleaguered peers.

This series, which tells the events leading up to the WB Entertainment and NetherRealm studios game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, is one of the most exciting, terrifying, heartfelt, epic and nasty stories I’ve ever had the pleasure to write. While the exact details of Injustice are still sketchy, I can tell you that the game script that the NetherRealm people have put together is seriously good. It’s great to see a fighting game with such a rich story. You’re all in for a real treat.

Artist Jheremy Raapack is going to kill on this series and it’s great to be working with Jim Chadwick again too. Jim was my editor back when I was writing The Authority for Wildstorm and he’s one of the best. Thanks to Hank Kanalz and all the people out at Burbank for the opportunity.

Visit DCcomics.com for additional information regarding the first two issues of the series [#1, #2], including store locations. The series is expected to launch via digital services, before the first issue hits stores January 30. Follow and discuss the comics and more on the DC Universe Injustice forum.
