hello there, I'm actually in the mood of helping people, so I remember that someone about some months ago, asked about an injustice timeline, I didn't make one, but since it's the only franchaise in which I read/played every media in the series (I don't know if I have to be proud or not about this ahahah) but anyway I made something close to this, so 1st one givind the dates. My dates are based on the base that injustice: Gods Among Us is set in the year the game was released and the other tie-ns are placed in the year they reference (like Year Zero-Five), while for the other tie-in media that doesn't have an year referenced (like the Injustice 2 comics) I will add an year for each media. So in the end we have this:
2005 - Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Prequel Comic
2006 - Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
2007 - Injustice: Year Zero
2008 - Injustice: Year One
2009 - Injustice: Year Two
2010 - Injustice: Year Three
2011 - Injustice: Year Four
2012 - Injustice: Year Five
2013 - Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition
2014 - Injustice: Ground Zeroes
2015 - Injustice 2 Comics
2016 - Injustice 2
2017 - Injustice vs. Masters of the Universe and Injustice 3
So much of this will give you some questions, I will answer to all of that with the 2nd thing I did, the reading order/playing Order no Mortal Kombat vs DC universe, cos I didn't put too much effort into the game and comic:
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition - Chapter 1 [Perfect introduction for the series]
Injustice: Year Five #37-38 [adaptation of the 1st chapter of the game, and reading this now it's better, cos reading this with year five actually slow down the narrative]
