Darkness.
Synopsis: Enchantress continues to make her move against those who oppose her.
-What's Good?
My problems with the last issue are addressed in #2 with Peter Milligan focusing more on Zatanna and Constantine, along with the relationship between Deadman and Dove. I still get a different vibe from this series compared to the other titles out there, almost like with Batwoman when she's dealing with supernatural beings. I kind of agree with Madame Xandu's statement that everyone else besides Enchantress is a threat to themselves. Magic and the supernatural is a dangerous element that seems to be true in this new universe compared to the old one.
The artwork is just as beautiful like the previous issue. Character models just look amazing and I love the way each central character have a distinctive look. The same goes for the environment, especially for the spread in the beginning. I also consider Dove transforming a bonus just because how beautiful it looks. I hope Mikel Janin and Ulises Arreola stay on board with this series for a long time.
-What's Bad?
The pacing is still slow, but slow is good. I like that Peter Milligan is taking his time establishing each character.
I'm a bit surprised on Deadman's character this time around. Now he's back to his old self before Brightest day? Dove is one of the sweetest characters, but Deadman suggesting that they take their relationship to the next level by using someone else's body and later implying for sex in another woman's body/semi-threesome? I'm not going to lie, that was pretty funny to see Dove pissed off at him, but I kind of thought Deadman changed for the better after Brightest Day.
Overall:
Now that the cast have been introduced mostly, the book should pick up more in the next couple of issues.
