Mikel Janin needs to draw all of the books with magic in them. I just want a big old Lord of the Rings and every Lovecraft story ever told adaptation with Janin’s art (colored by Ulises Arreola). So much is done so right in this book, I don’t know where to start. First is the team. Every single member of the team seems to bring something unique and cool to the mystic version of the Justice League. Zatanna specifically impressed me with how she handles her scene, and I love the basic redesign of her look. John Constantine, while just making a very little appearance in the book makes me want to go just read pages and pages of Hellblazer. Shade The Changing Man I know nothing about and yet want to get inside his extremely messed up head.

JLD does a lot of things right, but the best part is how writer Peter Milligan sets the stakes right away and shows just how terrifying a Justice League – level mystic threat should be. This is the stuff of nightmares, and Superman’s bright red and blue can’t really do anything to stand up to it. It almost feels like a combination of Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman. How much more do I have to sell you on the book? This is a short review, but that’s because I don’t want to give anything away. I love horror, I love urban fantasy, and the combination just works so well together. Can’t wait to get to the status quo of what this team is going to look like from month to month.
