  Justice League Dark really drew me in during the first three issues when I bought those and re-reading them here while getting more was definitely enjoyable. It feels like it didn't quite carry through on its potential, but a lot of it comes down to the idea that these characters are almost too distinct to work together in a cohesive way. These are all characters I like and they all have some very good material here individually and in different configurations, but as a whole it feels like it just falls short in being what it needs to be. A lot of that really does come down to the lack of a strong, cohesive storyline to bring them all together. I'm a fan of the creative side of the book and what they can do with it and I'm a fan of the cast and this opening volume does a decent job of laying down the foundation for that kind of team that's just to different to work together but does manage it in some way.
