6/30/2023 0 Comments Forever Evil by Geoff Johns![]() ![]() Some faces shift and blur together, like Power Ring sharing very similar features to Red Robin, but context thankfully helps keep those crossing identities straight. Some of his figures and faces lack consistency throughout the issue, but for the most part the story is dynamically framed and loaded with particulars. Heavily shadowed through the work of Richard Friend, David Finch's artwork is significantly detailed. By comparison, Luthor almost appears noble, despite the fact that there is not one noble action during his appearance in "Forever Evil" #2. Johns drags the members of the Crime Syndicate, particularly Deathstorm, Atomica and Johnny Quick to bone-chilling levels of nastiness and juxtaposes those with Luthor's apparent duty to God and country. Needless to say, they don't fare as well as the Justice League, even though the true fate of the Justice League remains unknown at this point. The Titans, under direction of Red Robin are spurred into action to attempt to deflect or shut down the dominoes starting to fall with the revelation that Nightwing is Dick Grayson. Johns juggles over a dozen characters in this book between Luthor, the Crime Syndicate and the Teen Titans. The Syndicate reacts to the uprisings resisting their assault on the planet while Lex Luthor begins to set in motion his own Hail Mary play. ![]() After the detour through Villains Month, "Forever Evil" #2 brings the Crime Syndicate back into the spotlight in a timeshare with Lex Luthor, courtesy of Geoff Johns and David Finch. ![]()
