Justice League Dark - James Tynion IV

- Lords Of Order - Some truly nasty monsters call the Otherkind have come to our world to eat magic. The Lords of Order, led by Nabu, have decided that magic is too dangerous are willing to destroy entire worlds to get rid of it (in order to save to multiverse). Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Detective Chimp, Swamp Thing, and a more benevolent Man-Bat must try to stop them and save magic, while also avoiding being destroyed by the Otherkind. This leads them to turns to help in questionable directions, such as Circe and Mordru. This is brilliantly written supernatural horror, beautifully (and disturbingly) illustrated. The short Swamp Thing story in which he is replaced by a new guardian of the green, the King of Petals, is similarly grim. [4.5]
- The Witching War - After defeating the Lord of Order, JLD faces off against the group that consolidated in the vacuum. Led by an overpowered Circe, Klarion, Grundy, the new Fluoronic Man, and Papa Midnite wish to rule everything, and the key is the gem that has trapped Eclipso. More absolutely top-notch occult drama from Tynion, whom I've never read before but is a great writer. [4.5]
