Forever Evil by Geoff Johns
4.0
There sure are a lot of superheroes in this story. New ones from another dimension show up that mirror the superheroes we know. This was entertaining with a ton of action and lots going on. I didn't know this as I read through the main volumes, but it would have been helpful to read this between vol. 4 and 5.
I know these things use pseudo and faux science to push their stories and I realize this is not meant to be anything but a story, but they pretend to be based in science. This story really pushed me out of it's reality due to this. This mirror superman is called Ultraman. Superman gets his strength from the sun, but the sun weakens ultraman. How does he remedy this situation? Well, he moves the moon of course. Now the moon is not fixed, but it orbits the planet, so even if he moves it, the moon will keep moving and it won't continue to block the sun. That was stupid to the max. Common, they can do better than that.
So, these mirror super people are known as the Crime Syndicate and they trap the Justice League and take over Earth. Lex Luthor has built a suit that gives him more strength protection and he gathers past villains and he defeats the Crime Syndicate. The Justice League owes this save to Luthor. It's a great concept and an interesting twist on Lex's character. I like this.
I think this was entertaining. It was fun reading and it was well told. This has been a good run.
