This is a great start to the Parliaments of Life arc for Justice League Dark and makes for a good jumping on point for new readers. The whole team syncs and delivers an incredible issue. I can’t wait to see where the rest of this arc will take us. Read Full Review

Justice League Dark #20 is beautifully horrific and simply brilliant in its approach, emphasizing the heartfelt relationships of the team contrasted against a truly grim gothic horror story, all packed in an epic superhero tale. Read Full Review

Kyle Hotz fills in as artist this issue. Hotz has the kind of style that doesnt work for every character, but a title like JLD is 100 percent in his wheelhouse as he ups the creep factor with his portraits and detailing that embraces the weirder aspects of the book. FCO Plascencia embraces the challenge of coloring in vivid fashion Hotzs dramatic artwork. They make for a great pairing that makes this issue unlike anything else youll read this week.

A good first issue in "The Parliament of Life" storyline. The return of Animal Man is exciting, but what will really win you over is the creepy and gag-inducing nature and look of the evil on the page.  Read Full Review

Ram V has jumped on to join James Tynion IV on this title, and it barely loses a step in Justice League Dark #20. If anything, the story jumps full-on into the horror themes of this run, and it works very well for a first issue. Read Full Review

Perhaps one day Justice League Dark #20 will prove to be as pivotal and influential a transitional issue to other budding writers, as 1982's Saga Of The Swamp Thing #20 clearly was to myself, James Tynion IV and Ram V. Let's wait and see. Read Full Review

Ram V and James Tynion IV's script paces wonderfully, guiding readers through this horrific outbreak and the subsequent panic and response from our heroes. Read Full Review

Justice League Dark #20 marks the start of something familiar, yet all the same thrilling. Once more this magic team has been thrown outside of their wheelhouse, and that is the best place for them to be when the this team overcoming great odds is peak excitement. I hope that this creative team blows he doors wide open to a world that is more extensive than it seems on the surface between the different kingdoms and their avatars. Read Full Review

If you have fallen off of this series then Justice League Dark #20 is a nice place to jump back on. The whole Parliament thing is not my favorite thing in DC comics; if you are not familiar with it then start Google searching. Other than that, I did enjoy the story in this issue, and it made me at least want to finish the rest of this story arc with its strong horror vibe. The art is the real show-stopper here. Kyle Hotz and FCO Placencia do some incredible work in this issue and you really shouldn't miss out on it. Read Full Review

Justice League #20 lays the groundwork for an ambitious and genuinely horrific story. Read Full Review

This is a decent issue that shows a fair bit of promise for this creative team. It's not a masterpiece or anything but it has solid writing, the artwork is good, it sets up the arc nicely and there's plenty of material to explore with future storylines. A good read. Read Full Review

Kyle Hotz style is interesting and can be fun at times, but it feels too cartoonish in this issue. I was hoping for something less messy in the visuals. Read Full Review

This is the story that I've been wanting forever since Hecate destroyed the Parliament of Trees and the Parliament of Flowers took their place, but sadly it feels like kind of a weird start, where the scope should be huge, but the focus here comes off kind of small.  The art like the story felt off at times, but the biggest problem for me is that the colors just didn't pop off the page and it left the book feeling kind of dull to look at.

If there's one thing for sure, it's that Justice League Dark #20 includes the largest tonal shift this series has seen. Though it's still very much horror and magic, it's much light than the past few arcs. Read Full Review

You had me at Animal Man. Btw this art is fantastic.

Finally Animal Man. Great team.

Pretty good stuff. Put Ram V's name on the cover though. He rules.

Prelude:
Time for the handover between Tynion and Ram V. Let's see how this goes.

The Good:
Animal Man is always good.

I enjoyed Hotz's art.

The horror vibe is cool

I really like how this plays off of Tynion's run.

The Bad:
Weirdly enough, I feel like something's missing.

Conclusion:
It's a great issue, don't get me wrong. It just feels like it's missing something.

I thought this was preeeetty spooky.

Art and colors were PHENOMENAL here, Hotz brings a nice Wrightson horror flavor and a perfect sense of composition, perspective and love for details.

This was pretty good. I just wish it grabbed my attention more.
