Meanwhile…Forever Evil #2

SPOILER WARNINGS! A lot of really cool moments happen weekly in comics. Given the number of titles related to the Dark Knight, it’s kinda hard to follow them all. Every week I’ll recap what I consider the coolest, most memorable moment in the DC Bat-Universe. With that said, please know that these articles will contain SPOILERS. You’ve been warned.

After a month-long barrage of bad guys (DC’s Villains Month) we finally get to the second issue of Forever Evil. While I was impressed with Geoff John’s juggling of all the characters in this issue (almost a dozen characters have dialogue and are all critical to the plot moving forward) the book did very little to actually move the story forward. The art of David Finch was somewhere between awesome and awesomely generic (similar faces on characters with little to no backgrounds). Issues with the book aside, the coolest Bat-moment happened within the pages of this comic.

That’s right, BATMAN survived. Whatever tragedy befell the combined Justice Leagues, Batman made it out alive. Why? Because he’s Batman.

All kidding aside, I’m really curious to see how the Dark Knight, Catwoman and Cyborg all got out of the Crime Syndicate’s grasp. This reveal should have not come to a surprise to anyone who’s a fan of the character (yet somehow, it surprised me). I guess this answers all the speculation on who is the man in the bat-costume is in several Forever Evil solicits.

Did this blow you away or did something else strike you as a bigger Bat-related moment in last weeks DC Comics? Let us know. Post your comments below or visit our Facebook page.

Carlos Cabaleiro illustrator+designer+storyteller I grew up just outside of New York. The eldest of three talented siblings; fascinated by my imagination and superheroes. Relocated to Florida and attended Miami International School of Art and Design. Worked as a freelance graphic designer to pay the bills. Somewhere along the way, I ended up taking a detour and now I'm back to making a living from my talent. Back and better than ever, I'm making my way in the world armed with my imagination, skill, talent, determination and the love and support of my fiancee, Kristina, and my family and friends. I now reside in Central Florida and share my studio with my sidekick, Grayson the dog wonder (he doesn't draw but he likes to keep me company). I am influenced by Bruce Timm, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Michael Golden, Egon Schiele, Leonardo D'vinci, Alex Ross, Wally Wood, Carl Banks and Don Newton. I focus primarily on illustration dealing with all things fandom, with a strong focus on sequential storytelling (storyboards, comics). I've worked for clients such as Ocean Drive magazine, Bacardi advertising and High Impact Comics. A HUGE Batman fan. I get excited for DC Comics, anything by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, James Robinson, FX's Justified and really cool action figures. I love to read and mostly lean towards fantasy or classics. Some favorites are: Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, anything by Edgar Allan Poe, Raylan Givens short stories by Elmore Leonard and my all-time favorite, Dracula by Bram Stoker.
