Yet another book that had so much potential but was absolutely destroyed by all of this crossover crap. The issue is that they just don't make it clear how all this is supposed to flow. This honestly cannot function on its own without reading the companion material. It makes huge leaps from one issue to the next. The thing is, the stories are interesting and there is decent art here. The Trinity War was a fun set up for Forever Evil, and Blight had the potential to be a really high concept piece...

There are so many missing tie-ins that this volume is impossible to understand what the hell is going on.

[low groaning]I just literally don't understand why this exists. Every single issue in this is a tie-in to something else so none of it reads anything approaching coherently without picking up ten other titles and jumping between them, which I absolutely refuse to do. This title sounded like a cool idea at first and I put up with all the stupid I, Vampire crossovers in the earlier volumes because at least it was just ONE title, but this is ridiculous. I absolutely hate big comic crossover events...

Again, DC Comics? Why do you print these compilations of a single title, when it's part of a much larger cross-over? The resulting volume makes little or no sense.But that's not my major issue here. I have a fondness for the magical, mystical side of the DC universe, and this is a mockery of it. Characters like Swamp Thing, Phantom Stranger, Deadman, and others are thrown in as if they're highly significant, then quickly fade to the background. The whole thing seems like just an attempt to show

It's all supplementary crossover material to events happening elsewhere in the DCNU. No complete stories to talk about. In fact, it feels like giant chunks are missing if you try to read this volume as a complete story.2/5

I really liked how big this volume felt with more involvement from the JL and the Zatanna/Constantine push pull stuff is great.

Actual rating: 3.25 stars.I love the Justice League Dark. And guess what? I just want to read the Justice League Dark. I am sick of major crossover events. Is it so wrong to want to read one title? Luckily I had read Constantine volume 2 just before this, so I was able to pick up some of what this volume lacked. I'm good at reading between the lines anyways, but ugh, I don't think I should have to do that all the time. I love epic stories as much as the next person, but the huge events get tirin...

I don't even know how you could review this properly. The story is hacked to bits and apparently scattered across multiple volumes thanks to the Trinity War event. The end result is a borderline incomprehensible story with characters popping in at random and doing things for reasons not made explicit by the story. Very frustrating read.

I felt this book was the best of the series so far. We started out with the Justice League and the crime syndicate all together and then something happened and they leave the book. Until that point with they Justice league works with JLdark, it was a whole lot of fun. They split up together. We never see them come back into the story. That's too bad. Pandora and the Trio show back up. I wish we saw more of the Question. Pandora's skull is featured and it corrupts many of the JL members. I loved

DON'T READ THIS BOOK. SERIOUSLY.This "volume" of Justice League Dark represents some of the stupidest editorial decision making I've ever seen. Genuinely, this book is 100% unreadable. Every single issue presented here is part of a multi-part story arc that crosses over with multiple other series, which are, for some insane reason, not collected here. It's like picking up a novel and only reading chapters 1, 5, 9, and 14. You will be truly lost and frustrated, particularly when you realize that

It's more of the same with John Constantine in the lead but then it brings in other DC events and becomes convoluted. The artwork is great and that's about the only reason I didn't give this one a lower grade. OVERALL GRADE: C plus to B mins.

A frustrating read: A new author, an interesting storyline, but at least half of it was not in this book. Rebirth of Evil is 1/2 or possibly 1/3 of a greater crossover event; each issue ends with the team going off to do one thing, with the next issue starting somewhere completely different and providing a recap of events covered in a separate series.The writing was good and I was interested in the ongoing story which made it all the more frustrating that I kept missing parts of it, with the mis...

Every issue in this was part of crossovers with other books. It was super confusing to only read one fourth of the story. I'm not sure why they even bothered to collect these 2 storylines in their individual books because it's incomprehensible without reading the other books (Justice League, Justice League of America, Constantine, Trinity of Sin: Pandora, and Phantom Stranger) as well. Save yourself the confusion and read the whole story in Justice League: Trinity War and Forever Evil: Blight in...

Justice League Dark, vol 4: The Rebirth of Evil: Proving that crossover events are, more often than not, overblown, overstuffed, overcrowded plies of crap that squander the wonderful characters that bring us to comics in the first place. Also, The Rebirth of Evil proves that DC can be a bunch of derps when it comes to their trade paperback collections. There were issues MISSING from these arcs, and I had no idea what was going on half the time, and that confusion kept me from otherwise enjoying

As Batman in the Lego Movie would say:WHATTHE HECKWAS THATSeriously though, what was this!? Scattered as hell (AND I read this after I read Forever Evil!), confusing, and I just could NOT care about the characters. And this includes Zatanna, one of my favourite DC characters. Here's some reasons why this sucks:- You took Jeff Lemire away from me. You can't do this. I feel cheated, just like I did when Geoff Johns left Green Lantern, but in a smaller scale. The new guy just isn't as good as Lemir...

AS Much as I liked the Forever Evil series I hate what its done to all the other DC titles. I've read almost everything that ties in with Justice League Dark and I still found this collection to be a confusing mess. DC needs to make a flow chart or a reading list telling people what order to read these books in. Also I didn't much care for the end of this story and what it appears they are doing with Constantine.

What the actual fuck, Justice League Dark? I was seriously beginning to dig this series, and then I read Volume 4, “Rebirth of Evil”, which is kind of a big pile of shit. And I think that might be generous.Part of the problem is something I’ve complained about in other comic book series, and it may just be a personal pet peeve, but I can’t believe that I’m alone in finding this annoying.It’s basically this: when comic books do “cross-overs” in which a storyline begins in one title, but is contin...

I am starting to despise large crossover events that make it impossible to just read a run of something. I just want to read JL Dark. Not the freaking Phantom Stranger or Pandora or Blight. It's just annoying also I liked the earlier writers, the longer it goes the less I'm liking it. I still like the idea of the team but I'm just not super excited lately. Also can we stop with Nightmare Nurse? I like the character but the outfit and the name. Time for some rebranding. Stat.

Starts out as a strong showing of last ditch attempt by the occultists of the Justice League Dark to save the world from a supernatural incursion, but the plot peters out into a magical dues ex machina of hidden spirits serving hidden agendas and that one hero, unbeknownst to characters and readers alike, had the willpower to get everyone out of danger. Good art that really served the characters at first, but it devolved as the plot did, and everyone became uncharacteristically overblown.

I truly hate it when perfectly good book series are hijacked by "events" in the DC Universe, and the story lines that have made us grow to like the characters are put on the back burner until the "event" is over. Sadly, that's exactly what happened in this book. Maybe things will be back on track in the next one.
