In the Dark

Four pages from JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK 1...



The Enchantress has gone crazy (again?), and she's causing all sorts of insanity to erupt across the world.

I was really prepared to hate this, but it ain't bad, really.

I'm still quite puzzled as to how this works with Hellblazer, though I guess John occasionally acknowledges the rest of the DC universe, it's just that he ignores it and does his own thing. (Swamp Thing, Zatanna, and the Phantom Stranger show up in his book from time to time.)

It's younger John. So it's either parallel to or before most Hellblazer stuff.

Ohh.

...the timeline of this reboot confuses me more than anything else @_@

Milligan said that there are two versions. One's the DCU younger version and the other's Vertigo John who has adventures in Hellblazer.

I get it now, but still, overall, the timeline of the entire new DC universe baffles me.

Really it's just as confusing as it ever was. The reboot has just unearthed all the inner chaos.

I liked how the general policy is usually "let's not talk about it." That seemed to work pretty well for me, anyway. :P

I think they're dealing with the meta-issue of a number of writers already having their own ideas and not giving a crap about this "reboot for new readers" thing.

[eyz]

Most probable explanation :P

The art is definitely not bad, and I'm just relieved to read this after that awful SECRET SEVEN thing, which just felt so damn ugly and cheap. Shade's creepiness here is more in keeping with the one I recall from Milligan before. It was so OFF in SS.I feel like this works so far.

But I am willing to cut Milligan a lot of slack, always.
