Justice League Dark- Horror and Action's Favorite Kid

In the last year I had taken a break from Batman. This seemed unprecedented for a guy like me;

I had read Batman my whole life and loved it. This Batman fast was broken when James Tynion

IV started his run on the Caped Crusader. I had heard his name and was familiar with titles he

had worked on, but I had not read any of his work yet. This was a mistake I realized

immediately after his first issue on Batman, and to rectify this I grabbed as much as I could of

his run on Justice League Dark.

JJ Abrams Developing Justice League Dark, The Shining Spinoff ...

The realm of magic was always my favorite in DC, I had grown up on Swamp Thing and

Constantine, and loved when Zatanna or Doctor Fate would pop into an issue of something.

Tynion holds a solid grasp of what power magic holds in the DC universe, and how absolutely

terrifying it can be in a moment’s notice. This run has cemented Tynion as a truly great horror

writer when he is given the chance. His new characters in this run like the Upside-Down Man

are horrific in a way that is not familiar in the western comic medium. This horror is only further

ingrained in the mind of the reader thanks to the startling and shocking illustrations done by

Alvaro Martinez Bueno and Daniel Sampere. Both illustrators have beautiful and unique layouts

not readily found in superhero comics these days and add a layer of excitement for each page

turn.

This book is a godsend for DC fans of all types. Magic is explored and turned inside out with the

deepest and darkest expanse of characters that could possibly be assembled. With fan favorites

like Jason Blood, Deadman, Madam Xanadu, and so many more join an already stacked team of

some of the greatest magic wielders of the universe. Each page pops and shocks like a

firecracker in a living room, and leaves you wanting more from the shadowy corners of DC.

This book is ready to pick up at the shop in trade paperback and single issues. I highly

recommend this run, and I think it’s the best in this new era of DC comics. I’ll give the first arc

“The Last Age of Magic” a solid 9 out of 10 top hats.
