About this deal
As this evil version of the Justice League takes over the DC Universe, no one stands in the way of them and complete domination no one except for Lex Luthor. Johns also isn't as distracted by the other going ons in the DCU at this point, so it feels like he's actually focused on the characters of his own book. And the fact that they had to reboot the universe again left some plot threads lingering, never to be resolved (or maybe they in rebirth, I really haven’t read much past the new 52). Over that last year, I've really gotten into DC comics, Justice League, Swamp Thing and Aquaman soo far. We could've gotten a better sense of what's going on in Grail's head, but instead, there's a weird interlude in the middle where the Justice Leaguers gain godlike powers and spend some time being gods.
Speaking of that bit, though, the issues showing the backstories of the Crime Syndicate were cool, but kinda inessential. He belittles his foes (and his allies) and takes on an almost “Iron Man” role in the League (without any of Tony’s charm or actual heroism).As this evil version of the Justice League takes over the DC Universe, no one stands in the way of them and complete domination… no one except for Lex Luthor.
Also, the Anti Life Equation isn't an actual equation anymore either - it's yet another energy burst-ish ability that's stronger than all the others.
On the topic of artwork, you'll be seeing a lot of David Finch and Jason Fabok artwork here, and it's awesome! Although I liked certain elements of Darkseid War, I was ultimately disappoint with the lack of Darkseid. It’s a thrilling combination of largely character driven story and near cinema like artwork that evokes the work of a Bryan Hitch.
The Forever Evil Dc event and the Darkseid War Saga Justice League story arc is the pivical point of the New 52-era. This character, Grail, has really conflicting motivations that pivot like three times within the climax of this storyline. In a flash of light, the world s most powerful heroes vanish as the Crime Syndicate arrives from Earth-3! The Crime Syndicates take over, defeat of the Justice League, and then subsequent loss by having Lex Luthor rise up as Earths champion is just fantastic. After moving to Los Angeles, he became an assistant to Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Movie.So it turns out that Earth-3 was destroyed by the Anti Monitor, and he's being consumed by the Anti Life Equation.
