My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Justice League Dark; Vol. 2 The Books of Magic by Jeff Lemire (Comic)

Mr. Lemire takes the reins from Peter Milligan and crafts a very entertaining comic. Vampires are ravaging the Earth and only the Justice League Dark can save them. Constantine becomes the group’s center and Zatanna his love interest. I don’t read a lot of team superhero comics but I liked this one a lot. Sure many of the side characters are shoved aside but it’s practical when trying to orchestrate a complex narrative in such a compact style. I’m certainly going to keep reading this series, especially if Constantine is the leader. Grade: B+
