The issue wraps with an somewhat ominous note of finality — with all the DC titles that have been cancelled lately, it's hard not to get concerned with a happy ending. Their adventures are slated to continue in Endless Winter and hopefully after Future State, we'll see the team united once again. Read Full Review
The main run of Justice League Dark concludes this issue, with an Endless Winter tie-in and a Future State miniseries coming soon. But for those who have been following the battle against the Upside-Down Man since the beginning, this issue delivers a spectacular finish that lets every surviving member of the team shine.

Amancay Nehuelpan delivers some amazing imagery throughout this issue. The characters look amazing and the scenes between Zatanna and the Upside-Down Man are brilliantly done. A wonderfully done issue from start to finish. Read Full Review
I was overall satisfied with the conclusion of Justice League Dark #28. Couldn't have pictured a better ending for this story because it perfectly took advantage of everything this team overcame to fight against the odds. I for one can't wait to see what comes next in Endless Winter. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? Read Full Review
Ram V's writing brilliantly conveys the trials and tribulations Zatanna and the protagonists experienced throughout the past arc. Read Full Review
A fantastic finale for this series of Justice League Dark. The story Ram V has written for this issue serves a great way to wrap up the tale of the Upside-Down man that James Tynion started at the beginning of the series as well as dealing with Zatanna's guilt over her father's death. The characters are all well-written, especially Zatanna and Detective Chimp who are highlights of the issue. The art by Nahuelpan isn't as creative as past issues but it's still a beautiful sight and does a terrific job of illustrating the story. The lettering is good too with a nice variety of speech bubbles being used to different effects that add to the overall presentation of the story. A brilliant ending for a brilliant series.

Stone the crows, that ending left me ravenous for more, too. I'm going to fetch my scarf and gloves. Read Full Review
While the art continues to be really good and fun throughout, the conclusion to our Upside-Down Man story kind of falls short in my opinion. This magical monster and the world he encompasses is just kind of thrown aside and makes this threat feel way smaller than he ever should have for all the build-up we've had over the last two years.

I actually thought this was a really great finale. I do have some gripes with how much everything seems reset by the end, but still, I really thought this was well done.
I think... I liked this. There were some things that were a little rough, but yeah, over all quite satisfying.
It's good that Zatana finally got to shine against Upside Down Man even if it was slightly undermined by her needing Wonder Woman to help solve the problem again.
I'm glad DC let Diana get more spotlight and lead a team outside her own book, however I don't want her to be a permanent JLD member. My main criticism in this otherwise good run has been Zee playing second fiddle to her, let Zee be the leader now.
This was all really well written, and handing it off to Ram V did not change that, however I do wish Upside Down Man was as scary as he was in the start of the run. Instead he started feeling like any other cosmic level villain.
Sadly, the road to get here to the "epic" showdown with Upside Down man was more than a little bumpy. I'm still disappointed the rest of the Otherkind were swept away without any fanfare but oh well. Taking this issue on it's own merits it is well written and V continues to display great dynamics amongst the team. But as a finale to the series' main villain it could've been better. But now that the Upside Down Man is finished I do hope Ram V gets to tell more of his own stories again without being too tethered to Tynion's dangling plot threads.
