DC Comics has officially announced that the creative team responsible for Injustice: Gods Among Us, will reunite for the Injustice 2 prequel comic. That's right, writer Tom Taylor and artist Bruno Redondo just signed an exclusive contract with DC. Injustice 2, set to bridge the gap between the two video games, will debut on April 11, 2017.

“Returning to Injustice and working with Tom again feels like a homecoming. Much of the work I’m most proud of is what Tom and I did during the first comic and it feels great to come back. Tom is one of my favorite writers and one that I enjoy working with the most. We have a similar understanding of the characters, the drama and the humor, which I think helped make the first series so successful. Working in the Injustice universe allows us to do so many things we’re unable to do in any other comic and I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store for Injustice 2,” shared Redondo.

“I am so excited to continue working with Bruno Redondo. He’s a good friend and an incredible talent. I think Bruno ‘gets’ me as well as any artist ever has. We compliment each other well, and Bruno lifts Injustice up with every stroke of his pen. As a former theater director and performer, my main focus is always on how well our characters ‘act’ on the page. Bruno brings so much emotion to the page, nailing the low points and the high. His characters breathe, and he’s just as comfortable delivering big action and shocks as he is with my ridiculous humor,” added Taylor.

In addition to the interior art, Redondo will also provide covers for the series, including the first issue cover, of which DC provided a sneak peek.

Following Injustice 2’s digital release, the series will begin its print debut in May on a twice-monthly basis.
