Justice League Dark Vol. 1: The Last Age of Magic by James Tynion IV
4.0
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 the show .
The art was stunning and unlike Scott Snyder's Justice league the plot wasn't convoluted , even though this book has a more stranger plot to grasp .
The return of Blue Devil was also fun . I did have a problem , that I feel Snyder is doing well in JL books , the book seems to again revolve around one or two characters while the rest feel needless . In this volume , Zatanna, Man-Bat and Swamp Thing had no use at all . Unlike Snyder's JL run where every character contributes to the story .
That said the reading experience was more fun than Snyder's JL run , and I am looking forward to reading more JL dark and excited about Tynion taking over the Batman comics soon
