Forever Evil: Arkham War Review : War has come to Gotham

Just image that one single event changed the world that visitor's from another universe or another earth came to ours an systematically wiped out the men an woman we viewed as gods. The Justice League is dead a group of super villains known as the Crime Syndicate of America a broken mirror image of the justice league are responsible for this tragedy heroes are no longer around none of them but the villains have been tortured to joining the syndicate others have rebelled to the bitter end. Our story takes place in Gotham city which is now in chaos an ashes its silent Guardian The Batman is presumed dead there is no longer a police presence no more ¨BatFamily¨to speak of. There is only one man who can save Gotham City on his own terms by any means necessary. The man who vows to save his now fallen kingdom is the only man to "break"The bat I'm talking about Bane of course now he is no hero by far he is completely the opposite. I love the premise of this story especially the idea that Bane has to adopt the symbol of his worst enemy to strike fear into the villain's an bring them to his bidding so he builds a suit of Armor an Becomes Batman! but this new Dark knight is viscous and furious the fighting is brutal an shocking to say the least. The Art is fantastic it brings the full package we have villains going at it bane is wearing a symbol he hates and of course we get a surprise guest Bruce Wayne the one true batman is alive an he wants to take his city back an bring bane down because an I quote This is not hell I am Hell!. We get a visit from the oldest group of close to immortal assassins The Court of Owls Mr. William Cobb is working with bane he is the great great great grandfather of Dick Grayson who is no longer the hero NightWing what happens to Dick isn't pretty. All I can say is if your looking for a great read then this is your go too book. I enjoyed every minute an for a time i found myself rooting for Bane I also found myself there during the war for Gotham city's soul. I give this book a Ten Out of Ten and recommend it too all readers new fans and old alike. It is the best story since Knight Fall and its a great continuation of the Court of owls saga its intense an puts you in a choke hold and barely lets go. Happy Reading Guys and Girls!
