2024 Review - I'd probably bump this to a 2.5...maybe a 3. The opening is actually pretty good with Superman killing someone by mistake and the heroes unsure of what to do. And I liked Pandora here. But by the end the convoluted mess of having all the "Dark" titles come together and just shit out some bullshit magic to stop the big bad felt forced as hell.

Overall just not great. I'll keep the rating cause it is one of the weaker events.

2016 Review: A mess.

Yeah that's all I could think about when reading this. This very long, over-bloated, sometimes incoherent book. So Pandora released all the evil in the world, and not this skull contains the evil of it? Or something. Honestly I was having trouble following because it seemed stupid. Especially the parts with the heroes fighting each other...for no reason...like no reason at all.

Don't even get me started on the filler arcs. There's a whole thing with going into the afterlife, but it's really for nothing, changes nothing, you could have taken out 60-70 pages of this and made it more enjoyable because the pacing wouldn't be nearly as bad.

I mean there are great moments. I enjoyed the ending because it leaves a sweet cliffhanger. I also enjoyed the art for the most part. However, the rest of it is a gigantic mess, not all that fun to read, and better to just skip.

However least with the cliffhanger I'm excited for Forever Evil.
