You can have your Flashes, your men both Super and Bat. Keep your Lanterns. I don’t want ’em. Give me Wonder Woman and a gaggle of weirdos fighting the forces that seek to do magic ill.

Diana escaped the thrall and banished Hecate, but at the cost of the safety and anonymity of the JLD.

This brings us to JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #5, this week’s entry in this stellar series. Turns out Detective Chimp inherited the mystical dimension of Myrra. Needing to lie low, our defenders of the mystic arts will make their way there. But will they be any more welcome there than in their homeworld? You’ll have to pick up the new issue to find out!
