Forever Evil by Geoff Johns
4.0

Uhhhh so I really enjoyed the hell out of this.

Okay to break it down simple the end of Trinity War (which was shit) had the crime syndicate come into our heroes universe. They are basically psycho evil versions of our heroes. SO Ultraman is evil Superman. Power Ring is evil Green Lantern and so on. So here they are, the Justice League are gone, and they slowly are taking over the world. Starting with taking out Nightwing, teen titans, and basically telling the villains of the world they should join them.

Pretty fucked up huh? But Lex doesn't like the plan. Nah, Lex's can be a crafty bastard but he's like I'ma stop you fools. He unleashes Bizarro and they make the great teammates ever. Bizarro is braindead basically but he loves Lex and follows him no matter what. You can see the cracks in Lex and how he does care for the big goofy superman zombie.

So Lex's basically teams up with a bunch of Villains to make his own team like Mantis, Black Adam, Captain Cold and more. Batman comes back before all other heroes that are trapped in something the Crime Syndicate did and well, he's Batman. So he uses the tools he had that he planned on saving for the Justice League if they got out of control. You go Batman!

So anyway, why did I Love this? Great art, fun fights, quick moving fun paced story, some amazing moments (Batman with a fear ring on? OMG) and just so many solid moments for my dude Lex, who's one of my favorite villains. This is a easy, enjoyable, fun event that is ten times better than Trinity War (Fuck that garbage).

A very very solid 4/5, some great fun.
