They should really change the name of this series to "Justice League Dicks" because all the characters are total dicks, with Constantine being the King of the dicks. I'm kinda disappointed because I thought I was going to love this but ended up just liking it.

Kinda cool to see Madame Xanadu again after reading Demon Knights. It's kind of strange though when you have these, at least, country wide events but I'm not hearing about them in the other New 52 comics I'm reading. Maybe it will pop up later. ( )

I found this book a bit hard to follow and had to go back several times to read and understand parts of the story, or to see what had happened to a character. The art is pretty good and generally the story was engaging. ( )

Justice League Dark is a cool story-line that brings together some of my favorite DC Comics characters, most importantly - to me, at least - John Constantine and Shade the Changing Man. I was reading comic books when both Shading the Changing Man and Hellblazer started their initial runs, the former with the creation of the Vertigo line, and it's always great to see them in action. What makes this collection even more enjoyable is that Peter Milligan is at the helm. He has a great talent for weirdness and insanity, and he threads it effortlessly through this origin story of the ragtag group of reluctant paranormal team members called Justice League Dark. Good stuff. ( )

Dear Lord, what did they do to Zatanna? Started fine, ended as a randomly cohesive mess. ( )
