"I just want to eat you up!"
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 much better (just saying).
Meanwhile, Madame Xanadu is bent on trying to getting these group of individuals together to take on Enchantress. In many ways, Xanadu is a central character for this series and I would also say that she's the unofficial leader. As she puts it, the cast are connected by a shibboleth and she is just trying to get them together as soon as possible.
Mindwarp is a character I'm not familiar with. After doing some research (and thanks to an Easter egg in this issue), I found out that he's a new character that was introduced in Flashpoint: Secret Seven.
It should come to no surprise that the art team shines once more in this issue. Ulises Arreola shows off some impressive coloring that are very expressive with the type of spells featured by each characters with Changing Man standing out the most. Mikel Janin's work with the characters also stand out just as well as the environments (Don't think I didn't notice Zatanna's tattoos). Character expressions are nicely well done.
What's Bad?
As much as I dislike the change to Boston Brand's personality, I still think it's awkward that Deadman and June Moone are getting close after what happened in the last issue.
Overall:
Seems like we're getting to the climax this first story arc. Justice League Dark has been a blast so far and it can only get better in the next issues to come.
