Justice League Dark (2018-) #2

This is a great start to a new series. I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this one, but I have to admit I’m finding it all very interesting.
Here we have Diana desperately trying to assemble a team to help her discover what’s wrong with magic, and try to resolve it. The problem is that Diana isn’t exactly an expert on magic…and understandably nobody with magic wants to follow her lead. Still, the woman is stubborn and I’ve got to give her credit for that.
Swamp Thing, Constantine, Zantana, Man-Bat, and Bobo all make appearances in this issue, along with many other DC magic users. I’m going to pretend I didn’t find some of the points amusing (like Diana legitimately not understanding why people don’t want her to lead the team, or poke her head in magical affairs), but there’s an underlying intensity that I can’t ignore. I can’t wait to see where this all leads.
