FOREVER EVIL #3
By Geoff Johns and David Finch
I'm back. And so is classic Captain Cold.
Forever Evil has ben turning out to be one of the most enjoyable events DC has put out in a while. And issue 3 continues that trend. Yes, this is turning out to be an event as epic as I imagined it to be, but Johns has found a way to balance both a huge world changing story and just plain old fun comics to create a hugely enjoyable package. Johns is at home writing these villains, as he nails the voice down for each character. I'm loving the new Bizarro, and I can't wait to see what the Crime Syndicate's prisoner has in store for the characters. Unfortunately, Johns does fall into his occasional spur of bad dialogue when writing some scenes, especially with the Rogues.
I really want to like David Finch's art here, I really do, but his characters frequently have the same face, and there was one page that really bugged me where it seems like Finch just phoned it in. However, Finch redeems himself with some bombastic action pieces, and drawing the most threatening Bizarro ever.
While quality wise, Forever Evil #3 is a mixed package, its packed to the brim with fun, good ol' comic book fun. Plus, Grid is the nicest mass murderer since Lotso from Toy Story 3.
STORY: 4/5
+ Great work writing the villains
+ More intriguing plot setups
+ BIZARRO!
- Some crappy dialogue
ART: 3/5
+ Nails the action scenes
+ Menacing villains
- Jim Lee syndrome (characters frequently have the same face)
- Really shitty looking page
VERDICT: 3.5/5
