Publication history
The comic was released digitally beginning on January 15, 2013. The digital issues were later collected and issued in physical comic book form, and eventually in collected editions. In December 2014, Tom Taylor announced that he would be leaving the series after writing Injustice Gods Among Us: Year Three digital chapter 14 (print issue #7), with Brian Buccellato replacing him by continuing the story into Year Four and Five. The final chapter of the series was released in September 2016, stopping right before the plot of the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game.
Sequels
Another comic book series, titled Injustice: Ground Zero, followed the Injustice comic prequels. This series was a retelling of the game's events from Harley Quinn's perspective.
Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo returned as the writer and artist respectively for the sequel comic series Injustice 2 which began publication in 2017. The series details the aftermath of the original game's events and serves as the prequel to the Injustice 2 video game.
