Lurking evil being off in the beyond that we keep hearing is coming, and evil versions of the JL members complete with background story?
Not saying its the same thing, but anyone pick up on the similarity to Forever Evil?

Anyone else seeing a Forever Evil similarity with Metal?

I see what you mean. There are definite similarities here.

Now that you mention it, yeah. I didn't read Forever Evil so I didn't notice it but now....I can't unsee it.

I think they are very subtle similarities, but now that you point them out...
Though in contrast to Forever Evil, we have the spotlight squarely focused on the heroes and the Justice League this time around.

I see the similarities, but the concept in Forever Evil it was (our) evil guys fights against (extradimensional) evil guys.

No, if Snyder is leaning on any previous event with this, it's Final Crisis.
But in FC the inconceivable evil that came from another universe happened to be Darkseid. And to some degree the Monitors... now a race of cosmic vampires.

Yes. But then again Snyder's ideas are usually lifted from guys like Morrison and Johns.

One similarity I see between the two is that I didn't buy Forever Evil and I'm not buying Metal . . .

I can see where you're coming from, but I am much more intrigued with Metal, now, than I ever was with Forever Evil.

After darkseid war, Lex took over for Darkseid for a bit and I think that is when he left. Maybe it was mentioned in JL 51 or 52, which was Lex's first issue as super lex. Originally Posted by theoneandonly
