Justice League Dark Vol. 3: The Death of Magic (The New 52) (Justice League Dark: the New 52, 3)

Collects JLD: #14-21 This volume has some many fun things going on. The team ends up in another dimension where mages are hunted down and killed on sight by technologically OP armies. The best part? The new dimension affects the team in different ways. Xanadu is old and frail, Orchid is a savage monster, and Constantine compulsively tells the truth. That last one is glorious to see in action by the way. Overall, it's written incredibly well. I mean, it is Jeff Lemire were talking about, so that's a given

Like all other Justice League Darks, I loved it. This is my favorite series because I am into magic. The story is about a world where no magic is allowed after a group of people banned it. So, the mythical creatures and fairy's went to hiding underground. Thanks to the little kid with glasses, the creatures are full of courage and want to take back their world. I wish I could buy Vol 4 but the reviews are bad.

I don't know how should I feel about Justice League Dark books I read all new 52 Justice League Dark books it had it moments but would I re-read it i guess no sometimes it had great art style and sometimes it did not i really love John Constantine and he was the reason why I started this series

This is by far my favorite series in DC. I loved the old Hellblazer comics and seeing John with a whole team is just awesome. This had quite the story and the return of one of my favorite characters from the Books of Magic (reminding me once again of how that Rowling hack completely ripped off the main character for her "books").

Perfect condition amazing book I'm super excited to read it and get the rest of the set.

Lemire does a great job of showing how this team works together, some of the memebers personal motivations, and the absolutely crazy scenarios that they often find themselves in.

I was a fan of the Books of Magic miniseries that introduced Tim Hunter. I was somewhat disappointed to see how this Nu52 story retconned various things about the character. The story is ok but not as good as the first trade collection.

Good read

Voici le 3è tome de la série "Justice League Dark" lancée à l'occasion de "The New 52!", après ' Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In the Dark (The New 52) ' et ' Justice League Dark Vol. 2: The Books of Magic (The New 52) '. Les scénaristes Jeff LEMIRE et Ray FAWKES font équipe sans heurt apparent (et sans "crossover" à gérer...), tandis que le dessinateur Mikel JANIN tient la boutique graphique avec quelques aides mais sans baisse de qualité au cours des huit comic books ici repris. Le livre commence là où le précédent s'est achevé, plutôt bien d'ailleurs, sauf que Zatanna et le jeune Tim Hunter ont disparu dans le happy ending... Les membres de l'effectif (flottant) de la JLD se mettent en mesure de les retrouver grâce à l'intervention de spécialistes de l'occulte et de la science. Ils découvrent notamment que Zatanna et le jeune Hunter sont en fait dans un monde où l'harmonie entre le magique et la science a été brisée au profit de la science. En arrivant dans ce monde, Constantine, Deadman, Mme Xanadu et Orchid connaissent des altérations profondes, différentes les unes des autres mais qui peuvent se révéler mortelles, dont Frankenstein reste apparemment exempt. Et il ne s'agit là que du premier arc. Baptisé, si l'on ose écrire, "Horror City", l'arc qui suit voit l'intervention de la Chose des Marais mais aussi celle, plus surprenante, d'un super-héros plus "solaire" et de premier plan, qui passait par là et qui va donner un sacré coup de main... Les "pitches" et scénarios de Jeff LEMIRE n'apportent nulle révolution pour les comic books de "capés" mais mettent en place les éléments d'une bonne série située entre "B" et "Z", auxquels JANIN, ses accompagnateurs et l'excellent coloriste Jeromy COX apportent tout leur savoir faire pour la distraction et le plaisir de lecture de leurs clients. En "extras" figurent notamment des études de JANIN, LEMIRE, McCARTHY etc. La suite, de nouveau sous forme d'un épais volume (' Justice League Dark Vol. 4: The Rebirth of Evil (The New 52) '), est d'ores et déjà proposée en pré-commande.

When I first started out I wasn't even too sure I wanted to read JLD. Superheroes with magic? I wasn't sure. But, boy, am I ever glad I got into this because it is one of my favourite series!!! This volume is fantastic. So much is going on and I'm going to have to give a SPOILER alert just in case I let too much slip from previous volumes or even this issue. So don't read any if your afraid of learning more than you might want! OMG! I love Deadman. He is my absolute favourite guy on this team, DC, please don't kill him off and if he has been already, don't anybody tell me! I hate Constantine, he's a conceited jerk but it sure looks good on him when the magic world messes with him and he can no longer lie, that was funny. Things get really intense in this volume. The whole Books of Magic story line is wrapped up with some stunning conclusions but we have the introduction of two new heroes from other groups: The Flash & Swamp Thing (I have never read ST in my life). This series is taking me places I've never been before in the DC Universe. Flash ends up kind of liking working with JLD, he likes the camaraderie the have here as opposed to his always in-fighting JL. The stage is set though with the various JLs, there is tension in the air, vying for leadership roles, lots of dissension against Steve Trevor, sorry don't like him can't get past hearing Lyle Waggoner every time he speaks LOL. And just what are the Justice League groups going to look like when this is over. Can't wait for Trinity War (on pre-order) for March. Then I'll get up to date with the Trinity of Sin books/Pandora/Phantom Stranger, man, this is wicked stuff.... I'm hooked, I'm a fan! Call me a Leaguer!

Dark is the new Black. I honestly think this is the best team mag on the market these days, well written, well drawn, a good amount of character and mystery and a splash of humour that feels natural not forced or slapstick. The wrap up of the Tim Humter/Books of Magic storyline works well but I agree with others that there may have been a longer arc initially outlined but crossovers forced a quick ending. For the same reason the Doctor Destiny arc feels slightly squashed and I am sure he will be back soon – especially as his links to the group have been so deeply established now. Other group titles may mark time before major crossovers but not this one, every issue progresses the story and the team forward. I eagerly await the Trinity War – but I’m rooting for this team to win it!

Cómic muy recomendable y en perfecto estado me ha llegado, no como los españoles que siempre me llegan con algún desperfecto.
