Forever Evil has been all about the slow build-up to the showdown between Lex Luthor’s ragtag band of villains and the Crime Syndicate. And sometimes that build-up has been overly slow, as is often the case with event comics. But Forever Evil #6 finally pits these two factions against one another, and the wait was well worth it. For a cold, emotionless robot like myself, any comic that can leave me smiling from one page to the next is certainly doing its job.
This issue offers a nice balance of the elements Geoff Johns has been juggling all along. There’s plenty of material focused on Lex Luthor as the unlikely hero of the day, as well as his uneasy alliance with Batman. It becomes difficult not to sympathize with Luthor’s point of view as he blames Batman and the rest of the Justice League for failing the world when it needed them the most. Knowing what we do about the future of Justice League post-Forever Evil, it offers a nice taste of things to come.
