The second volume of Justice League Dark shows Constantine putting the band back together to take down a new threat to the world in Faust & his followers. This team is also on the search for the books of magic & are on a mission to stop someone from Constantine's past. This is the volume where Jeff Lemire takes over writing duties on these characters & it just shines through. I really liked this title especially since I am unfamiliar with the majority of the cast in this. I know who the main players are by name but I don't know what they are capable of. Its refreshing compared to say Batman but lets be honest if you are reading this & don't know who Batman is there is a problem, bring on the next volume.
Books and reading is one of the greatest past times in the world. It is something a few do a lot, some do regularly and many don't do enough. I know in this busy world finding time to read is next to impossible. So if something on this blog strikes you as interesting; I suggest you set aside some time and read it for yourself.

Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In the Dark
I can't say that I was totally enthralled when I picked up this volume. I read Shadowpact back during the Infinite Crisis event which Enchantress was a key member in. This book had a rocky start to begin with for one there is only a vague description of who these characters are. Madame Xanadue is still a mystery to me. I didn't know that Dove was in this & that she has a relationship with Deadman that was kind of a nice mix of a shared universe. This book seemed to find its legs about half-way through most of that is due to the tension dynamic between John Constantine & Boston Brand. I'll pick up volume two to see what happens next.
