Justice League #33 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Although I enjoyed "Forever Evil" as much as could be expected for such an event, I have to say that its aftermath isn't all that thrilling.  First, the threat of the Anti-Monitor seems too remote to take seriously at the moment.  Moreover, assuming that it does eventually manifest itself, it's also competing with the threat of the Earth 2 invasion of Earth that we're apparently going to see as part of "Earth 2:  World's End" and "The New 52:  Futures End."  It's just getting hard to keep all the multiversal threats seriously.  As such, we're just left with Lex Luthor's attempts to join the Justice League to entertain us, and I can't say that I find them all that interesting.  We all know at some point the League will find a way to outmaneuver Luthor, and I'm guessing that he'll wind up suffering from some sort of amnesia that robs him of his knowledge of Batman's identity.  With the conclusion so likely (and apparent), it's hard to be all that invested.

** (two of five stars)
