The omni includes those, but for some reason, it leaves out the ARGUS, Arkham War and Rogues Rebellion miniseries that set up some important aspects of the main Forever Evil storyline. 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. Volume 1 was a setup volume, Geoff Johns took it slow and allowed you to get to know or even fall in love with each of these characters individually, even the B and C-list characters as well, but in this volume, Geoff takes them to HIGHER heights. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

It seems these arcs exist mainly for two reasons: spending time with Lex Luthor in the Justice League, and setting up Jessica Cruz to eventually become Earth's latest Green Lantern. It’s a thrilling combination of largely character driven story and near cinema like artwork that evokes the work of a Bryan Hitch.

Now Darkseid will once again make the planet a war zone, as Earth becomes the frontline in his battle with the Anti-Monitor—one of the most powerfully destructive creatures ever created!

So it turns out that Earth-3 was destroyed by the Anti Monitor, and he's being consumed by the Anti Life Equation. Lex as a hero is a smart idea, and having him do it purely out of ego and narcissism (and not an actual want to help people) is just brilliant. Now, I actually wasn't aware of this when I bought the omni, but the DC Universe: Rebirth one shot is included here! In a flash of light, the world’s most powerful heroes vanish as the Crime Syndicate arrives from Earth-3! 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.

Fabok is one my my favourite comic artists and his versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are incredible to see. This one was honestly a head-scratcher for me, and I managed to make head and tails of Final Crisis!

On the topic of artwork, you'll be seeing a lot of David Finch and Jason Fabok artwork here, and it's awesome! Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank.Johns was an executive producer on the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and co-wrote the 2017 hit film Justice League as well as the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 film starring Gal Gadot. Lex’s arrogance and ego have always been staples of his character, and having those be the reason he wants to defeat the Crime Sydicate makes for a fun read. Over that last year, I've really gotten into DC comics, Justice League, Swamp Thing and Aquaman soo far.
