“Endless Winter” chapter seven! The past holds the key to surviving the Endless Winter, as the Justice League Dark seeks to resurrect both Swamp Thing and the spirit of Viking Prince. Queen Hippolyta reveals a shocking secret to Wonder Woman as the past and present collide. Buried secrets are unearthed as the Justice League and Justice League Dark must come together with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
As "Endless Winter" builds towards its finale next week it remains very clear Andy Lanning and Ron Marz have an event that's worthy of your time and attention. As it reveals a lost story of the past we gain new insight into our heroes who face an impossible dilemma as the world freezes over. This event feels wholly singular too, making it a great story for fans who haven't been reading DC Comics but would like to dip their toes in with modern takes on the characters. Read Full Review
This chapter sets the stage for a big showdown with The Frost King as this better than expected event nears its heated conclusion. Read Full Review
As Endless Winter heads towards its final act, it serves as a staging ground for what's essentially the series finale of this book. While Ram V will be continuing it in backups come March, this tie-in is not written by him. Surprisingly, though, the regular event writers do a great job of picking up with the many subplots he left behind. Read Full Review
Justice League Dark #29 combines the past and present to create a united future. The story wraps a lot of the flashback sequence up while propelling the current story forward. And from this, the future is unclear. And from this, the future is unclear. All of the characters are well written by Lanning and Marz, and the art team is spectacular. With another ally on board, the Justice League may finally be able to melt Endless Winter. Read Full Review
I will say though, Endless Winter's a pretty darned good story, and well worth picking up if you decide that you want to. Read Full Review
Amancay Nehuelpan delivers some great art in the issue. The characters look great and the detail in them and the backgrounds is impressive. Read Full Review
This is probably my second favorite issue in this mini-event and that's because it focuses more on the flashbacks of the Justice League from 10 AD and also feels like it's a part of the main Justice League Dark series. That being said, there still isn't much to this issue. Yeah, I like the art and I like the direction we're going from this issue but there's still a lot of rehashing and sitting around in a bar and talking and if I'm not the one doing it, it's never as much fun.

When it comes to Justice League Dark, issue #29 is really JLD in name only. Read Full Review
Over the course of the month we've talked a lot about the pros and cons of this event. While it's had some slow moments, this week picked up the pace in a way that left me once again both enjoying the event and interested in its ending. While I still want more for it, I can accept what it's given and am looking forward to seeing the final wrap up. Read Full Review
Looks like JLD will be retooled into a back-up feature in the main Justice League book starting in March; which is a huge bummer. Its not worth continuing if it's gonna be back-up to another comic I don't care about. I haven't been reading the Endless Winter event (thank X Of Swords for crossover fatigue) but I wanted to get JLD #29 as it is the last issue and I've been a loyal follower of this series. Surprisingly, this issue actually reads pretty well on its own for being chapter 7 of a crossover. Lanning and Marz provide a nice little epilogue to the series. I never really felt lost and am glad to have read this as a closing chapter to an overall great series. Goodbye JLD!
So slow.
This is a better issue, but still not great. It's a shame this title will end on a crossover tie-in.
