Forever Evil, as the first line wide event in the New 52, is a good story, but it shouldn't be thought of as a line wide event. Compared to something like Blackest Night, this doesn't bring in a lot of heroes from the outside of Justice League, save for a few token mentions (off-panel at that). All that aside, as a story, Forever Evil is really strong, with an engaging story and interesting characterization. And as a lead in to Lex Luthor joining the Justice League, it's really good. The biggest flaw the book has is that Nightwing dies, and it doesn't pack much of a punch. Dick is dead for two or three pages, and then brought back by plot convenience. It's still a good story, but that's supposed to be the emotional punch, and it doesn't pac
k much of one. If you haven't read it yet, go for it, but it's not going to blow you away. more
