That changed a bit reading some of the old Hellblazer (thanks to the short lived TV show) and then going back and reading some of Neil Gaiman's old stuff. Tynion, in 5 issues, has turned me into a big fan. Magic is tough because it's easy to become total nonsense, but he's doing a really great job of making it seem powerful but not a cure all.<br /><br />The dynamic between the dark characters is so much stronger than what I saw in Detective, and even the token antagonist, Zatana, is coming across as likable/ practical. Compare Zatana's role with Spoiler's in Detective and it's night and day. By the end of Detective, I hated Spoiler. Here, I look forwarder to seeing the evolution of her relationship with Diana and Constantine.<br /><br />This is just a good arc and I'm totally with you that if it finishes as strong as it started, it's my Book of the Year. My only creeping fear is that Tynion will have a hard time following up this story because out of the gate, it's reading like a really great event book. Smaller, personal stories, are going to feel weird, and if he just one ups this, it's going to feel overdone. In any event, I'm just hoping this arc finishes strong.Rubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172195984847694776noreply@blogger.com
