  Lemire is definitely giving Janin lots to play with, but he's also packing the arc so full of classic ideas like the House of Mystery, the Books of Magic, and even bringing back Timothy Hunter. This book so just a ton of fun to read every month. Read Full Review

  Although not quite as good as the last two issues, this was still a brilliant issue, and the perfect conclusion to this part of the story. Lemire has also done a brilliant job of leaving the door open for the remained of the story, and that although this is the end of the Black Room story, it's not the end of the Books of Magic story. I would easily recommend this issue, as well as the previous two issues, as Lemire has done a marvellous job on this series, and it's been simply phenomenal so far. Read Full Review

  If you have love for the supernatural and excellent stories revolving around it, read this book " and if you're worried that DC will shoe-horn heroes into it and kill it, well have no fear because that's not been a problem. Read Full Review

  Justice League Dark is the full-out exploration of the DCU's magical side that I hoped it would be when it was announced, and I couldn't be happier. All it needs now is some Ragman action. Read Full Review

  This book has certainly risen up the ranks as far as my favorite DC titles go, and it's all from Jeff Lemire's involvement. This is really one title to check out, and I look forward to it more and more each month now. Any fan of the supernatural side of DC would do well to pick this title up, especially if you've been missing anything that's gone absent in the past couple of decades. Read Full Review

  It's sort of funny that this book has Justice League in the title, as comparing Justice League Dark to Justice League is like comparing Avengers to The Dark Knight Rises-they set out to accomplish entirely different things. That being said, I'm enjoying Justice League Dark more than Geoff Johns' Justice League right now-in fact, Justice League Dark is amongst my favorite DC titles being published right now. This is a solid issue of a great book, and I'm looking forward to seeing the continuation of this story. It loses half a star for art inconsistencies on John Constantine and the confusion with Steve Trevor, but still gets an easy 4.5 out of 5 Stars from me! Read Full Review

  This is already a book with a huge cast of characters, and it takes a true talent to incorporate more and at the same time continue to make it more appealing. Mikel Janin's art pulls it together for a solid book worth reading. Read Full Review

  On the whole, I'm delighted with the direction this book has taken under Lemire's pen. I'm not quite in love with all the characters yet, but the story is complex and intelligent and nothing is quite what it seems. Similarly, Lemire seems to have reinvigorated Janin and the book looks better than it ever has, a great example of DC making a few smart changes rather than jettisoning the project or creative team altogether.

  The series is still in the gestation phase, tentatively laying out the building blocks for its future. Though interesting enough, much of its value is locked up in potential, rather than actual, enjoyment. Read Full Review
