OK, this is a graphic novel I can sink my canines into.A YUMMY bit of throw down served up HOT by messers Tynion and Bueno.A little backstory, I’m actually not a huge fan of the Justice League, it’s just a little too cutesy poo and mainstream for this fringe element. It’s not like I haven’t tried, but I just never seem to pick up what they’re laying dow;, like the animated series, it’s pretty to look at, but just eye candy, no real meat on the bone.So, add the DARK suffix, with occult and macabr...

The end is coming...we need the Justice League. No, not Batman, Superman, and Won...well actually, yes we do need Wonder Woman. Add on Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Man Bat, and more and we have the new Justice League DARK. What happens when a new creature of the dark arrives? Strong enough to take attacks from the likes of Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, and Constantine? Well we need them to come together to stop it all. This is a more horror/mystery approach to a Justice League team. Take away the punching...

This version of the "Justice League Dark" is, in my opinion, already leagues ahead of its predecessor from the New 52. Tynion's decision to go with a horror vibe, although relatively mellow compared to either the gore of Image titles like The Walking Dead or the sheer creepy weird factor of Vertigo series like Gaiman's Sandman, works surprisingly well in a mainstream book. The decision to limit traditional JLA characcters to Diana was inspired, but so was including her as a bridge for fans who o...

it was a good idea a buy this and the witch hour comic,so i can read them and understand better the story line or ill be loss,loving the look of the bad guy,but the short story's at the end were really necessary?

I like this SO MUCH MORE than the previous JLD run. I wish the order was a bit clearer--I didn't really realize I should stop midway through and read The Witching Hour--but I think I followed along okay. The art in this is so much cleaner and more appealing to me and I like the team so much more. I really have developed a lot of affection for Swamp Thing and I have no real knowledge of this character at all outside of these books. Might need to change that.

If you want to get the most out of this volume, make sure you have a copy of Wonder Woman & Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour ready to go. That comic interrupts this one after issue #3, and I think it's well worth putting The Last Age of Magic down for a second so that you can get the complete story before continuing.There are a whole slew of new faces on the team that I wouldn't have immediately thought of to be on JLD, including Wonder Woman & Detective Chimp. But it works!This is actuall...

Sometimes, on my weekly trip to nearest comic-book shop, I make totally random purchases of totally unfamiliar titles  based on gorgeous eye-candy artworks.This first volume of the new Justice League Dark was one of them, a funny and entertaining read about Wonder Woman leading DC greatest supernatural champions against lovecraftian abominations out from somewhere like popular Dungeons and Dragons  Far Realm nightmarish plane.I'm more a Marvel Zombie than a DC Fanboy so my knowledge of many char...

Okay, this I kinda dig a bit more than some other stuff I tried by this author... but still didn’t entirely like it.What’s it about?Something has been fucking up magical stuff in the DC universe! Wonder Woman knows this and is trying to form a team to figure out why it’s happening and how to un-fuck it up.Pros:The story is fun. A good superhero adventure with supernatural elements, I certainly liked that.There’s some pretty cool artwork throughout, fantastic job there! Several cool panels throug...

I really wanted this to be good, but unfortunately it's not. Here are a few of the problems with this:Magic isn't working right, magic has a cost, and magic is going to die because of the big bads. This is the exact plot of the recent Dr. Strange books over at Marvel. Waaaaaaay too much talking, flashbacks, and general digression. Very little action. The cliché where someone says "They are coming!" just before they die. DC loves to use the ambiguous "they". Zatanna reads some carvings in some fl...

Started as a 5 star, levelled at 4 stars for a while but finally dropped to 3.

I was dreading the thought of reading another Justice league book , but I had enjoyed the last JL dark during the new 52 days and I like James Tynion IV , so I picked it up and it was surprisingly good . The book was very well done , starting with answering the obvious strange Team , like why Man-Bat and Wonder woman are in the team and where is Constantine . Infact despite the absence of Constantine from the main team , he made a large contribution to this story , and as usual to him , stole th...

I seem to be always on the cusp of angrily throwing in the towel with DC’s Justice League Dark, but, like the mafia, it keeps sucking me back in for dubious reasons.I haven’t enjoyed (or understood) the last couple volumes, and much of that has to do with the fact that DC loves these giant cross-over events. I’m bored of all these “crises”. How many times can the world be destroyed and resurrected? I long for the day when superheroes get back to fighting bank robbers and serial killers: no alien...

Tynion takes more of a horror approach with this new incarnation of Justice League Dark. The creators of magic are returning from beyond the source wall and are looking to take magic away. Wonder Woman is heading up this new team, playing up her magical roots. The book is the closest thing DC has to a Vertigo comic in the DCU. The villains are creepy and a long time DC character is working with them. It's all done very well. My one complaint is that The Witching Hour story isn't included and it

I have covered my thoughts on most of this volume in my review of The Witching Hour, but here I'll just say — despite Witching Hour feeling quite rushed, I still am very much enjoying James Tynion's Justice League Dark. It has an awesome cast of some of DC's best and yet criminally overlooked characters, and it works together so well that most of my other complaints feel insignificant. But I'll still say this: Tynion's storytelling here is very dense and there's a lot of buildup to a bigger stor...

Justice League Dark was surprisingly good. A great blend of top-notch artwork (kudos to Alvaro Bueno) and a good story make for an entertaining comic.Something is seriously wrong with magic. Since the Justice League isn't that great with dealing with magic, the LJD was formed. Consisting of Wonder Woman (this I don't get..she's magical?), Swamp Thing, Man Bat, Bobo, Zatanna and John Constantine they fight against a terrible foe that wants to destroy all magic on our world. Their fight will take

Wonder Woman assembles a new team of mystic defenders as a threat from beyond our dimension threatens all of magic, and only she, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Man-Bat, and Detective Chimp have any chance of stopping them.I was a big fan of the previous JLD team, and I was thrilled to bits to see the excellent creative team of James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno transplanting across from their Detective Comics run. This volume's a bit of a hodgepodge, since there are two issues missing in the midd...

Basic Plot: Wonder Woman forms a magickal team to try to save magic from being ripped away from the world by the Otherkind.Great story, great art. I really like the idea of WW teaming up with some of the magickal characters from the DCU. So far, her team has some really great characters. Who knew that Man Bat could be comedy relief? The bad guys are really creepy looking, too, which is well done.

A really nice start to the series, sure Witching Hour is not in this book but it's still pretty great.World: The art is fantastic! The splash pages, the characters, the colors, the action, the art looks gorgeous. The first three issues are way better but this is still a lovely book to look at. The world building is pretty dense and there is a lot of info dumping here but wow do I ever like it. This is a travel into DC's magical realm and all the pieces are here at play and all of it is unified a...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.What happens when magic is on the brink of extinction? Fear takes over among those who wield its powers and embrace its existence, death surges from realms that none has ever thought existed and war settles in to test everyone’s fate and determination. Following the aftermath of DC’s latest cosmic event Dark Nights: Metal, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV teamed up to deliver Justice League: No Justice to introduce the latest ramifications of th...

I read this as single issues originally but that was a few years ago. I still really enjoyed this. The Otherkind are really cool, and the Myrra arc was interesting. I kinda wish they hadn’t left that gap from The Witching Hour crossover but whatever. I really like this team too, but I hope in the run Dr Fate eventually joins the team.
