A review by magicalmartha
Forever Evil by Geoff Johns

3.0

In a refreshing change from big house crossovers, I found Forever Evil to be cohesive and coherent even though I haven't read any of the lead-in material. I always enjoy superhero books that give some voice to the villains, especially villains as intelligent and layered as Lex Luthor. I had some trouble with the characterization of Superwoman, whose storyline contains some of the misogynistic material superhero books have been (unfortunately) known for. It is ALSO not the most flattering portrayal of Batman, although I found that more interesting than anything else - I wonder if it was intentional by the writers?

Overall, this is an enjoyable Justice League adventure, approachable for a reader with little Justice League experience and with some great easter eggs for those of us who are. Great narration by Luthor with some pacing problems and a touch of sexism.
