I'm glad DC is going in that direction. This was a pretty cool run. I think the Lemire run was my favorite. Fawkes did a pretty good job too. I love the cover they went with. It's one of my favorite of all time. Ryan Sook is amazing! I think that was the cover to issue 9. Lemire's first issue. Take care and peace.

I used to have the entire series in singles years ago but a college classmate borrowed them all and ya I dunno where to find the guy. I got two tpbs that vertigo printed years ago but they never followed trough to complete it (dashing NY drama of having it complete again). Great video.... Have always been intrigued in collecting Justice League Dark.

    Anyone but me feel that once an omnibus starts getting into the 1600-page range, they should probably break it up into two omnibuses? Of course I'm also someone who likes to read while lying on his back holding the book over my face, so probably not the best way to read omnibuses in general. As for gutter loss, I can understand some two-page spreads aren't always going to look completely perfect, but cutting off text can be a huge problem. Though the biggest problem I've had with that wasn't even an OHC, but the Wolverine Dying Game Epic Collection.

      Cost of paper has gone up. Honestly, they’ve been doing $150 omnis for a few years now.

      Great art. Intriguing story arcs. So tempted. "But I say thee, nay, good fellow."

    Justice League Dark is a dumb name, but necessary for marketing.

    Omar everything you were saying about Superman and Batman being basically useless against magic is exactly why I do NOT like anything "Justice League Dark" (except Apokolips War). And also, why is it that John Constantine is always the ONLY one that can save everyone in EVERY story he's in?

      lol cause he’s the best of all of us… I think
      It’s really everyone that writes him, seems to over-utilize him and in this case he becomes the backbone of the team. There are some stories out there were Supes and Bats take out Magic wielders. Check out the Superman/Batman omnibus for that. :)

      @@NearMintCondition Wow I wasn't expecting such a quick reply! I actually do have the Superman/Batman Omnibus too, but I haven't read it yet.
