The conclusion to the DEATH OF MAGIC comes crashing down upon our heroes, as its consequences dramatically shift the status quo of the team moving forward! This issue also has ties to the new ongoing CONSTANTINE series, also on sale this month.
This was a phenomenal conclusion to the Death of Magic storyline, and although the story has a whole hasn't been quite as good as Books of Magic, it has still been brilliant, and couldn't have ended any better. I'd highly recommend this issue, as well as the series, and can't wait for the next issue, and the appearance of Swamp Thing. Read Full Review
I know there are some Justice League Dark haters out there but Im just not one of them and I believe this was probably the strongest issue in the series. I couldnt find anything wrong here but if you can let me know! Read Full Review
This was an incredible story until its conclusion, which was very disappointing. Read Full Review
But ultimately, the arc feels hollow beneath all the visual splendor and flourishes. The League members are reduced to running from danger and watching as Tim Hunter and his father team up to save the day. At some point the sense of drama and tension simply leaks out of the story. From there, the writers are too quick to transition back into the real world and restore normalcy. There are some tangible changes brought about in this issue, but not as much as might be expected. I can only hope that the next storyline will be able to offer a bit more substance and lasting character drama in addition to all the visual delights. Read Full Review
Even a mediocre issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK is better than any other book with "Justice" in its title. It is still a very good issue, but the ending was a bit of a let down. I'm very excited to continue on with this series though, and Lemire and Fawkes has done a great job with the writing so far. Janin's art is amazing here, and we get treated to some beautiful fight scenes.Overall, I give this a mild recommendation. Read Full Review
So while this is a gorgeous book, the pacing was way off. It was entirely too rushed. The characters are fascinating and the dialogue is solid. The story itself was a lot of fun, up until this point. I'm not sure why the ending was so crammed, but it left me really unsatisfied. Read Full Review
"Justice League Dark" continues to be a book that I want to like more than I do. It's not bad, but it's just not great. Some issues and arcs are better than others, but 18 issues in, nothing but the art has really blown my socks off, despite featuring some of my favorite characters in all of comics. I'm not sure what's missing here, but I wish one of these great creators involved with the book could figure it out. I still feel there's a brilliant book here, but it's still just waiting to be discovered. Maybe that last panel in this issue holds the key? Read Full Review
Justice League Dark now has the distinction of being a title that I've Dropped twice in one incarnation. As painful as the decision is this time, what with the potential of the creators onboard, it still ultimately feels like the right choice. Read Full Review
Good conclusion to the arc. However, the team doesn't do much. There wasn't really a villain in the story. Therefore, I had no clue who to root for or what to make of the war that was going on. Tim Hunter lets out this huge lighting blast and almost destroys a whole city. Fortunately, Vikar and Zantanna decide to make friends and help save the citizens. It was all very convoluted with no rhyme or reason for what was going on. Luckily the art is drawn very well and the special effects and color make the artwork pop. Read Full Review
__$3, 20pgs + preview. 4 Ads.___ Worthwhile DC flair with a magic twist, not changing ANY status quo tho. The Art is one of the better aspects of the comic and the artists (Janin, art & Cox, colors) really shine on this arc. Fawkes & Lamire write some good dialog, i especially like Constantine asking for a cigarette mid-fall. a funny jab at the other smoke-less Constantine book maybe? The story moves quick and is acion packed, so its a good ride for many readers i think.
