David Finch

Forever Evil is the New 52 event where DC lets the villains carry the story. The Justice League has fallen, the Crime Syndicate controls Earth and Lex Luthor becomes the strategist nobody wanted to need. This 1288-page omnibus collects the main series and major tie-ins, making it the right edition for reading the whole villain-led crossover instead of only the central miniseries. The hook is simple but powerful: what happens when the worst people in the DC Universe are the only ones left to stop something worse? Geoff Johns uses that inversion to give Lex Luthor one of his strongest modern roles, while David Finch gives the event a dark, blockbuster look.
