The rules of magic have changed forever, and the Justice League Dark is ready to keep the peace in the magical world! But that peace will be shattered as Circe takes center stage, gathering a team of magic's most dangerous monsters to take control of magic once and for all!
Tynion and Bueno keep stretching for higher heights in their exploration of magic in the DCU. With the start of The Witching War, the book seems ready to gun for a coveted cant miss status. Thats the true magic of Justice League Dark. Read Full Review
Alvaro Martinez Bueno always delivers some beautiful and detailed art work and this issue is no exception. Everything from the characters to the action looks fantastic. Read Full Review
Over a year in, I feel safe in saying that Justice League Dark is the most consistent book in DC's stables. Every month, James Tynion and a top group of artists give us a masterclass in horror and supernatural spectacle " and it's not slowing down at all. Read Full Review
Justice League Dark #14 is another solid gold issue. The collection of ne'er do wells assembled by Circe is truly spine chilling, and even with Constantine, Kent Nelson and Khalid Nassour added to their ranks, I still fear for our team's chances of success. Read Full Review
The start of “The Witching War” is largely focused on reframing the last thirteen issues, and by the end of the issue, we're ready for a full out brawl. Tynion IV and Martnez Bueno continue to tantalize and dazzle the storytelling senses and the end result speaks for itself. The series is without a doubt magical and deserves to be caught up.

For anyone out there who may have also had reservations about the Dark Gifts influence in this story, I would say that the events of Justice League Dark #14 more than puts you at ease. Once more they give us something big to look forward to. Bigger than the Witching Hour, and bigger than the clash with the Lords of Order. Read Full Review
A promising start to a new arc, this is a book that simply gets better and better with each new installment. Read Full Review
Justice League Dark #14 lays down a solid foundation for the rest of "The Witching War" storyline to build from. James Tynion's understanding of all the members on the Justice League Dark is on full display in this issue. The character arcs set up for Wonder Woman, Zatanna and Man-Bat in particular help drive several plot points within "The Witching War" set-up. Having Alvaro Martinez Bueno back to handle art duties further elevated how well the set up for this new story arc turned out. Read Full Review
This was a great set up issue for what's next to come, and I personally can't wait to get my hands on it! Read Full Review
The Witching War begins with an exciting issue reminding you of why you love this team, even if it does have a few flaws. Read Full Review
This book is best when it's equal parts horror and magic and that's the exact tone it's giving off this time around. Read Full Review
After a year-plus of issues, we're stilldealing with mistakes made during the first story arc. Which isn't a singularcrime, but barely anything has happened in the interim. This is a beautifulbook that feels unmemorable because nothing of significance ever happens. Read Full Review
art is gorgeous
Loving that this book is staying with the darker theme as it should! Wish there was more swampy as he doesn’t have his own
Title as he should, JC too
Prelude:
No longer just an hour, the Witching War is upon us. Despite less set up than Snyder's Justice/Doom War, does Justice League Dark deliver a promising issue?
The Good:
Maybe it's the fact it's magic. Maybe it's Tynion's writing (Probably). But the stakes like always feel high.
The Legion of Doom Dark? Injustice League Dark? Whatever, I'm really like Circe's team. Magic is weird and wacky and we get that from the team. Also the sudden obsession with the moon made sense by the end and boy am I loving this.
Art is great as always. Goes a bit underrated but it's always great on this book.
Diana's and Zatara's conversation was wonderfully done. Loving what this book is doing with all more
I'm down for an Injustice League Dark led by Circe. This feels like set up for a Super Friends vs. Legion of Doom type of story...JLD style!
Luckily none of the characters are feeling homogenized as often happens on these team books, even with the addition of an evil team.
"And soon magic will meet his new goddess."
Mostly setup, but Tynion and Martinez never fail to knock it out of the park. I really enjoyed them addressing the repercussions from last arc as well as the new lineup for the Injustice League Dark.
This seems like the final act of Tynion's run, but I could be wrong since they still have to defeat the Upside-Down Man and the Otherkind.
One of the most consistent series coming out right now, and I love it to death.
I am genuinely taking points off for whatever the hell they have done to Klarion’s hair.
I like how in the scene between Constantine and Wonder Woman, Constantine seems to already know about Circe, but then by the end of the scene Wonder Woman has to tell him who the villain is. I don't really love this issue. I like the vampire part because vampires are fun. I don't like the look of weird bald Klarion. I also think Papa Midnite looks like a huge dork, but I guess that's better than his Blade cosplay from Hellblazer Rebirth. Not much happens here, which I think might be a problem for all three Justice League books at this point. Things feel stretched out. I also really could not care less about Circe. I don't like her. Hopefully this title gets back to being one of DC's best.
