A dangerous girl to be in bed with 0
This series which started out with a lot of momentum and then dropped a fair bit of it in the second issue, picks it back up here and gets things going again. This is still a team issue and the team is not together (or even ever really been unified) but the switching of focus from one character to another is handled pretty smoothly here and the story never suffers as a result. the story follows two basic plot points, heroes that are trying to stop the Enchantress and heroes that are trying to ...

And the story continues to go nowhere. 0
Art - The art of this books fluctuates from average to bad with no consistency. The colors are barely more than flats with highlight/shades that are barely a different shade/tone.Story - Nothing bloody happens... EVER. None of the crap that is going on has anything to do with the story. This would be as bad as Mister Terrific, but at least some of this works out logically. The story of this freaking book is The Enchantress is causing magic to terrorize the world in an attempt to find June Moon a...

Have to Admit. Kind of Let Down By That Tantric Sex. 0
Though the characters remain well written and the art is fantastic, Justice League Dark almost seems to have forgotten it has a story it is supposed to be telling. Here at the end of this third issue of the series, the story feels like it is in the same place as it was in the first.I praised the first issue for being a great and well paced first issue for a team book. It wasted no time in setting up the crisis and introducing us to the full cast of characters. What happened? The second issue too...

The Dark Forest You Can't Help But Fear 0
The Good: I have NO idea what it is, but the cover is much more effective. Mikel Janin's art continues to be a perfect fit for this series. The opening scene defines everything. The haunting realistic interpretation of the mysterious implied magic. The dark road in a dead forest. On a pragmatic level, you KNOW that nothing mystical will leap out at you, but you can't help but feel the compulsion to feel fear of the unknown. The artwork for this series makes pretty much everything exactly that ki...

Slow Burning Magic 1
First of all, I’ll admit it - there's not much in the way of story progression in this third installment of Justice League Dark. We still don't know what Enchantress is really after (probably power though, right?), and Xanadu is still keeping the tarot cards pretty close to chest, so we don't have a full team yet, and it feels like it'll be a couple of issues more before we do. Having said that, this is still an entirely enjoyable series so far, that suggests a solid story ahead filled with magi...

"I just want to eat you up!" 1
Synopsis: Madame Xanadu continues her plan to gather the group together to face Enchantress. What's Good? It seems like Peter Milligan did his research when it comes to these characters. Take Constantine and Zatanna. Now that Constantine is part of the DC universe, their past relationship is hinted on. Other than the book Zatanna: Everyday Magic, this is only my second time seeing Constantine and Zee together, and I'm somewhat bothered by their previous relationship only because Zee can do muc...

Ekaw Pu! 0
Shade the changing man recruits an ally for the team while John and Zatanna mill about and Deadman comforts June Moon.The GoodThank God for Deadman, because if it weren't for him this book would be a complete dud. Deadman gets to know June Moon a little better in this issue and even winds up possessing her in an impressive display of his former training as an acrobat.The art on this book is a little hit and miss, but generally very good, especially the drawings of Enchantress and Deadman. I'm no...

Dark Forces At Work 0
The Story: John Constantine saves Zatanna while June Moon seeks help from Deadman and Madame Xanadu requests a task of Shade that he's not too happy with. My Thoughts:Justice League Dark is a series full of exciting characters most of which I have little to no experience with until now. I liked the first issue and was sort of let down by the second. The third issue picks back up peaking my interest. I'm enjoying this exciting series and this large cast of characters Peter Milligan is scripting. ...

For the Most Part Good 0
The GoodThis series has been my favorite of the New 52 for me. I'm not sure if its because it brings my favorite character into John Constantine or its just to d@mn good of a comic to miss. Well this month's issue started to pick up again. We see some more familiar faces. Also we see more of what Enchantress is planning. The cover I love. I also like the catchy slogan at the bottom. This has been my favorite branch of the Justice League. I hope it doesn't end too soon.The BadThey still don't hav...

The Coupling of Shakti and Shiva 0
Story/WritingOut of the first three issues, this one seems to have the least direction. There's some development of Zatanna and Constantine's relationship after Constantine arrives to unfreeze Zatanna from her protective spell, but it's only touched on very briefly. Madame Xanadu sends Shade to recruit Mindwarp to the team, who is supposedly quite threatening (I don't know much about Mindwarp outside of the Flashpoint series, Secret Seven), but he doesn't really catch my interest - even though I...

"You're Right, Mate. I Never Really Know What I'm Doing." 0
Synopsis The introduction of Mindwarp! June Moone and Deadman grow ever closer! The Good The dialogue and emotion bounding from character to character is in place, from Shade the Changing Man begrudgingly tracking down pseudo-incorporeal serial killer Mindwarp to the scene between ex-lovers Zatanna and Constantine, to lovers-perhaps-to-be June Moone and Deadman - the emotion and depth of the various links and relationships between the cast have been firmly grounded. I like also how they are ...
