Forever Evil #7
Geoff Johns (w), David Finch (a)
DC Comics

Liz says: Finally, Forever Evil #7 hits the shelves and it is EPIC! We had to wait an extra two months, but the payoff is worth it. Geoff Johns’ love of complex villains and antiheroes makes for a far more interesting read than your standard superhero punch-fest, and the final face-offs with the Crime Syndicate members (and of course, especially, the Big Bad introduced at the end of issue #6) had me grinning ear to ear with satisfaction. Lex Luthor remains the star of the show, and his actions surprise, thrill, and compel at every turn. At the more heroic end of the character spectrum, the reunion between Batman and Nightwing is touching, unexpectedly hilarious, and sets up a new dynamic between Bruce Wayne and a perceptive Luthor. Looking forward to seeing how that plays out! And pre-New 52 readers will also appreciate references to old DC canon and are treated to the return of an old, formerly deceased favourite who in new continuity is clearly alive and well. The repercussions keep coming, for our Crime Syndicate members, heroes, and villains alike, which becomes especially evident when you turn the last page! All in all a great ending to a great, fun book. For DC fans both old and new, totally worth your while.
