Justice League Dark Annual #1- The chase for the Book of
Magic ends here with the team in a final showdown against Nick Necro. Everyone shows
up in this issue as writer Jeff Lemire manages to squeeze anyone remotely magical
into the book. Some of the guest-star made prefect sense and served a function
to move the story forward (Frankenstein, Princess Amaya), others did not
(Andrew Bennett). However artist Mikel Janin did a fine job in portraying
everyone and seems to have great fun in the action scenes. Fun is the best
thing about this issue. Both Lemire and Janin seem to enjoy putting this issue together with John Constantine’s wisecracks about his teammates being funnier
than usual. The only thing I had a problem with is the ending which seems a
little cheap to me but on the whole this was quite an entertaining and fun
annual.
