Geoff Johns
2,718 books2,409 followersGeoff Johns originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University, where he earned a degree in Media Arts and Film. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990s in search of work within the film industry. Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA (co-written with David S. Goyer) for DC Comics. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.
His first comics assignments led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today, working on such titles including a highly successful re-imagining of Green Lantern, Action Comics (co-written with Richard Donner), Teen Titans, Justice Society of America, Infinite Crisis and the experimental breakout hit series 52 for DC with Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid. Geoff received the Wizard Fan Award for Breakout Talent of 2002 and Writer of the Year for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 as well as the CBG Writer of the Year 2003 thru 2005, 2007 and CBG Best Comic Book Series for JSA 2001 thru 2005. Geoff also developed BLADE: THE SERIES with David S. Goyer, as well as penned the acclaimed “Legion” episode of SMALLVILLE. He also served as staff writer for the fourth season of ROBOT CHICKEN.
Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank.

A very enjoyable story!
As the synopsis says: an evil version of the justice league takes over the world and the multiple storylines focus on resistance from 'villains' and more 'minor heroes.' The art is my favorite style and extremely well done, and the main storyline is incredible, although the tie-ins are not at that same level.
Critiques:
This omnibus jumps straight into the arc, and as someone who hasn't read the trinity war, it is pretty jolting. I would recommend Trinity War first for more context. The omnibus is laid out by trying to progress the story by progressing all its mini arcs equally (ex. part 1 for each arc, then part 2 for each arc, and so on). The cutoff points are a little more arbitrary though and the cliffhangers could be better chosen (ex. I would maybe prefer the entire Arkham arc, or Suicide Squad arc-- neither needed to be broken up). Being brutally honest, there's a lot of action and a lot of story for not a lot happening in total (not like Infinite Crisis). The actual Forever Evil arc is very good, but some of the tie-ins are more lacking in either relevance or final consequence. (A lot of it seemed to be setting the stage for the next part of the universe, and while I appreciate the planning, it takes away from this story because it makes it feel incomplete).
This omnibus directly sets up the Grayson Spyral arc, although it still feels like it comes out of nowhere.
