A FOREVER EVIL tie-in! A major turning point for Pandora, who reluctantly joins forces with John Constantine's team of mystical underdogs to confront the personification of all evil: Blight! Continued in this month's JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #27.
The book ends with questions, and Forever Evil continues in Justice League Dark #27. Concluding this review, Pandora has done what Pandora always does. She's taken the baton, run an excellent section of the relay, and is now handing off for what is surely going to be a record breaking comic book run. Insightful, clever and a heck of a lot of fun, Pandora is really good this month, and well worth spending your hard earned pennies on. Read Full Review
There isn't anymore room for naysayers of this story. While it may have started out as a weaker story to the Forever Evil event, it surely has moved itself to the forefront of the tie-ins. Between this and Constantine #10, I've been blown away, and have been kept on my toes about what they're going to do next. So if you love the Dark characters, or just good story telling in general go get this, and have a new found faith in what the Dark titles can be. Read Full Review
Regardless, this was still a very enjoyable book. The art by Staz Johnson and Francis Portela blended well because one illustrated the main book and the other a dream-like sequence. If DC is going to have more than one artist one these books, this is the only acceptable way to do it. The story returns to Justice League Dark next week, where we will hopefully see Pandora magically resurrected in her new costume. Read Full Review
Just like this week's main Forever Evil crossover issue, it's pretty bland. Not in a terrible "I'm going to rip this up and never read it again" way, but more in a "meh, I'm ready for the next issue" way. Now are Pandora and the Phantom Stranger really dead? No. Am I starting lose interest in this event-within-an-event again? Kind of. But am I interested to see what exactly happened to the two heroes of the Trinity of Sin (and where/when the Question will pop up again, for that matter)? Absolutely. This storyline is far from lost. And it still has a bunch of potential. I'm not just rooting for J. M. DeMatteis anymore. After two issues in a row, I'm finally back on board the Ray Fawkes train. I really hope he doesn't disappoint me. Read Full Review
Ray Fawkes tries valiantly to keep focus on Pandora in her self titled book. The problem is that this is a crossover. There are a lot of developments in Blight that needed to be discussed. Instead, it was almost entirely focused on Pandora's revelation. The events from Constantine should have been built upon in this issue, but were left on the back burner. Pandora #7 suffers from poor perspective, masked by some impressive color work. Read Full Review
