i just thought it was poor wording. I'd think that news sites and such would've picked up on it. i've only seen it mentioned here
Worst case scenario, they all leave the book and Khoi Pham takes over writing and drawing
E: didn't know those just went up! Ok, fear the worst

Honestly, who didn't see this coming?
Yeah, I know. I mean they completely updated the app, requiring a new download. They had the same 'retired' message when you opened the app and directed you back to the app store. The whole process was exactly the same as what happened to the Comixology app that day....except fortunately the store was still intact in the new download.

Hahahahaha, tears and laughing. Maybe this is the Walmart in me talking, but does Marvel want to get people who WANT to work. I want to see Moon Knight ascend to the stratosphere. If you wanna make some money, contact me. Now we know why there was all that white space.....

Pretty sure he's joking, no way in hell editorial would let anyone do that. Not Slott, not Stan Lee, not Ditko, no one.
Now I want it to happen just for the sake of it.

Forever Evil #7 spoilers are out. That last panel...!
Oh my god. You could kill a man with that.
I have all the softcover trades but I want to double dip on digital copies. Typical DC though don't have the trades on Comixology and I'm not paying £1.49 an issue

It's going to be big! How soon before we can freely discuss it? Or can we do so now, but with obvious spoiler tags? On another note, I have to say that I love Lex Luthor
playing hero.

With
2015 marking the 30th anniversary of Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seems as though the rumours of some kind of New 52 version were true. What with the Anti-Monitor looking to consume more and more universes. He is seemingly driven by a need or want to reach Darkseid and the New Gods. This must have some connection to the short-lived Vibe series, that featured appearances from Lady Quark and Pariah, as inter-dimensional prisoners of A.R.G.U.S.
I absolutely loved that Johns didn't eliminate the entire Crime Syndicate and instead a few of its members are still out there within the greater DCU, albeit in prison cells, but Owlman is in hiding in Gotham city. I wonder what will become of Superwoman's baby. I said it before, but I'll say it again, I love Lex Luthor playing hero. Definitely looking forward to JL with him at the helm. He showed seemingly genuine remorse in this issue, towards Bizzarro and Ted Kord.
It's interesting to note that Element Woman and Vibe did not return/were not released from the Firestorm Matrix with other heroes. I wonder if they were purely forgotten and this was laziness on the part of Johns, Finch or the editors. Or if they were never trapped within the FM in the first place. I love Element Woman, I'd hate to see her ignored, or worse, forgotten. She brought personality to the Justice League in spades.

Me and my roommate had a feeling
it was going to be the Anti Monitor back with issue #6 (and even before then) so the reveal is nice but not a huge surprise. It's definitely a fun callback to COIE, though, since the Crime Syndicate got wrecked by the Anti Matter wall in that in the first issue.

I long suspected it was the
Anti-Monitor as well. The pieces just fit too well for it not to be. I do think we are definitely heading towards a 2015, New 52, Crisis on Infinite Earths. Or at least using Anti-Monitor as a foil that calls back to COIE without simply recreating the event. With Johns at the helm, do you think this was always the plan? I know CoIE saw many changes and retcons to the DCU. I wonder if this will theoretically do the same?

You have some people who
wish fervently that this going to be THE EVENT that undoes 52 and brings back Pre 52 but it's never going to happen. What they've shown, so far, is that they will go back to the well for ideas but they put a new twist on it; Superman: Doomed being a great example. So we're definitely getting a Crisis, but the focus on the New Gods makes me think it's probably going to be more of a "Enemy of my Enemy" situation, where the New God's, Apokolips and Earth will have to work together to defeat him.
One other interesting thought is how this ties into Future's End. Clearly the crisis hasn't happened by that time, so it'd have to come later?

Superman: Doomed has been fantastic; the writing and the art. As much as I dislike Scott Lobdell, Greg Pak and Charles Soule are more than making up for it. If DC continue down this parth, as you said,
going back to the well for ideas but with new twists,
undo the new 52. People are only going to be disappointed if that's what they expect from the next event/crisis coming out of Forever Evil. Dan Didio said that Infinity Man and the Forever People is going to play a big role in shaping the DCU. I have a feeling that role will play significantly into this focus on the New Gods.
Future's End is interesting, because
the Earth War could be in some part linked to this possible crisis, but it's not clear enough yet to be able to make that connection. What is most interesting to me though, is the fact that Forever Evil, Batman Eternal, Earth 2: World's End and Multiversity will conclude at the same time, right before COIE's anniversary next year. Multiversity itself will, as its namesake implies, be re-introducing the multiverse in a big way.
In spite of the extended delays over the course of the event, I think as the sum of its parts, Forever Evil has been thoroughly entertaining and worth the wait. It most certainly reads better as a whole and I look forward to picking up the trade for that reason.

Messi stop making me look up your Moon terms (a4 paper).
What characters are those??? Are you just making things up now???

Extremely saddened by the absence of
Element Woman and Vibe. Element Woman has been a favourite since Flashpoint. I mentioned in my impressions that I hope this is just an editorial mistake/oversight, but they don't seem to be part of any book's roster following Forever Evil.

Mind you I just read the spoilers and haven't actually read it yet, but what do you mean about this? Did something specific happen to them? Clarify?
When the Leagues are
released from Firestorm (thanks to Bruce's "connection" to WW), all the heroes return but Vibe and Element Woman. There's a panel where Vic and Barry are looking for them and Barry says "I know they were trapped with us Vic, but I can't find any trace of Vibe or Element Woman, not even DNA. It's like they never existed."
Sounds like setting up a future plot to me.
Hush, take your logic out of here and let me
lament the loss of two of my favorite crappy characters.

I'm not going to hold out hope that it'll be resolved. Johns has strung many plot threads throughout the New 52 that he has not returned to. Doesn't speak much for the upcoming Power Ring either. If she is just going to be
wiped from existence at the end of the next event then what reason is there to invest time and interest?
Hmmm, I'll have to go back and look. Honestly though it's just as likely that was an editorial oversight as much as anything else.

Vibe appears in multiple panels, including several close-ups. No Element Woman though...

Yep, lower lefthand side of the page. But yes, might be oversight, but it's something.

I'd say it's more of an oversight. Wishful thinking says that DC is going to announce
a team-up book starring Element Woman and Vibe, chronicling their adventures in the multiverse. I'd buy ten copies!
Editorial let Sins Past happen.
You really think that they recon Peters and MJs child and break of their marriage because they think, it would make Peter to old,
?
Slott tends to overrate the importance of his run, as we have seen as he really thinks Charlie is as important as Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy, but there is no way the editiors would let him do this. At least I hope.
just give him another child with a minor c-character in the overall Spider-Lore

Reading Forever Evil #7 again, I noticed
Mazahs mentioned a few other Earth 3 "heroes", Hawkwing and Will Baston. Are they the counterparts of Hawkman and Billy Batson? There was also the Amazonian prophecy regarding a new Age of Darkness that would begin with Superwoman's child.
