DC's Forever Evil (spoilers)

David_D

To be fair, it started as a borrow, as my skepticism of DC these days is such that I wanted to borrow the first issue from a friend rather than buy it. . . but I then bought the second issue today rather than wait for the hand off from my friend.

I think it's been great-- Finch is doing excellent work, and I feel like this comic is the sort of cinematic, big-set-piece Geoff Johns I have missed seeing for a few years.

Anyone else?

Haven't read the second, but the first issue was the first real Big Time feel I've gotten in the New 52, and it showed that it was something needed. I'm looking forward to where it goes, and hope it starts giving DC some forward story momentum.

I'm glad you are liking it. Maybe this is a DC turnaround. When I saw Villains Month solicited I just about gagged. 2-3 villain titles for each regular title with gimmicked out lenticular covers...I want no part if it.

Have planned to give it a go. Went to comiXology and saw that the first and the current issues are 3.99 each. WHY????? ~X(

Because they can.

You learn to take the casual rapacity of capitalism for granted around here.

You poor so-and-sos living in an actual democracy have no idea what you're missing. X(

I haven't been reading any of the tie-ins or sub-minis, just the main Forever Evil miniseries, and I think it has been great. It feels like Geoff Johns back to form, and the Finch work is great. I have no idea what it might lead to, (and I not terribly invested in the DCU these days, as I am down to only reading Batman and Detective) so I am not really reading it so much for where it is going than for what it is. And for what it is, it is an enjoyable, cinematic story so far.

I think so.

I love me some Booster Gold. Maybe not enough to pick up a weekly series from a company that is doing nothing right (IMHO) but I am paying attention DC, surprise me and do right by Booster.

Yes. If DC does anything right, especially with BG - please let us know.
