Justice League Dark #22 is easily my Pick of the Week as it makes me more interested in the Trinity War, and more interested in the characters in the other Justice League teams. There were many other strong offerings I have read for this week, but Justice League Dark #22 works as a great introduction to the team, and is an integral part of the Trinity War story.
Justice League Dark #22 is my Pick of the Week!
Live by the Sword…
If you are a regular reader of this site, you know I do not like to give spoilers. The problem is that there is very little to talk about when it comes to Justice League Dark #22 without giving a spoiler. I can say that it is the first time all three of the Justice League teams are in the same place at the same time. There are a few members who are not part of this “meeting,” but you will learn why in the pages of the issue.
A Goal of the Trinity War
Of course, the Trinity War leads into Villain Month, Forever Evil, and the big DC Comics attacks during the September War, but there is a different goal to the crossover as well. The crew at DC Comics wants to introduce as many people as possible to the Dark Universe. That is way we have Pandora, the Phantom Stranger, The Question, and Justice League Dark playing such important roles in this story. Sure, the sales are padded right now during the Trinity War crossover, but the publisher hopes you will not just pick up Justice League Dark #22, but other issues as well. They want you to become interested in the Phantom Stranger, and Pandora. Of course, we will not know if this part of their plan worked for a few months.
An Interesting Panel in Justice League Dark #22
There is an interesting panel in Justice League Dark #22 that I am going to pick apart tomorrow. There was one particular instance which happened which has me scratching my head and reading into particular implications and statements. Since I don’t like to give spoilers, you will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry.
