DC unveils Forever Evil: Blight!

DC has been relishing Villain’s Month for all the crossover ideas it can possibly expand towards. The most recent exploitation of the idea is being utilized in the upcoming Forever Evil: Blight storyline. The new villain Blight is set to debut in this new ongoing saga. The tale is going to spill into several books, including each member of the Trinity Of Sin along with Justice League Dark. One could think of the crossover as a Justice League Dark family event. The title is a staggering 18 parts long that could really start to annoy readers if not written with the utmost care. So far, we are unclear on who the creative teams on these titles are. With a multi-week monthly crossover, it would be safe to assume that the regular creative team is working on the books. Writer J.M. DeMatteis was just announced as the new ongoing writer of the regular Justice League Dark title. Naming a new one after that would likely be something of an insult to the new writer. DC Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras had the following plot summary on the series,

In order to save Zatanna, Constantine will be forced to take on Blight. Along with Swamp Thing, Nightmare Nurse, and the Trinity of Sin themselves – Pandora, Phantom Stranger, and The Question – Constantine will need to defeat Blight if he wants to ever see the woman he loves again. But when Blight becomes aware of Constantine’s quest and draws in a human host to take him down, will Constantine and the army he’s assembled be enough to battle a force that encapsulates all the evil in the world?

DC announced that there will be major status quote changes to all of the books involved in the ensuing madness. Characters involved include Constantine, Zatanna, Nightmare Nurse, Pandora, Question, and possibly more. Check out the full list of books crossing over below,
