Apr. 24th, 2026 02:40 pmI think I'm up to page 1200 in this Justice League Dark omnibus
and the religion stuff is... a lot, but interesting enough.
I am glad to be reading though
because Nick Necro is back
and it is deliciously fucked up shippy again.
Like, I am pretty sure the book doesn't think he's straight any more.
Having declared he loved John, and then when he's rejected saying it was all a lie, and then the other bad guy saying that much hate had to come out of love,
I just stopped reading to revel in the page where Nick is all
I never loved them!
And crying.
This is the good stuff.
Not that I can recommend reading this many pages unless this lands exactly on your favourite things.
I am not enjoying how this compilation treats Zatanna like a dolly to dangle for to get John to dance.
There are female characters but I am not enjoying the balance of point of view vs motivating factor.
Still, this is fun at this precise moment.
... not for the characters, obviously, they were in the middle of being tortured, but for the reader.
