Book Review: Forever Evil: A.R.G.U.S. #2 (New 52)


Book: Forever Evil: A.R.G.U.S. #2 (of 6) by Sterling Gates with illustration by Neil Edwards and inks by Jason Paz and Jay Leisten

Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Review:

Again short but still a really good story. This picks up right where the first issue ended with Steve Trevor at the White House going up against Deathstroke and other villains as he tries to rescue the President.

Steve Trevor is not to be under estimated which is something that Deathstroke seems to do a lot. He figured since Steve was cornered and unarmed and didn't have anymore agents that he would be easy to take out. But it didn't work out as easy as he thought it would.

Something I thought was interesting was despite Steve and Diana no longer dating he still cares about her.

This issue also focused on Killer Frost the author sort of added a little bit of humanity to the character. There's no doubt she's a villain but there's a scene where she could have done something really awful but she didn't. Even though you could tell she wanted to. So that was interesting.

This was good and it's make me wonder why I put off reading this miniseries until now.
