I found time to read the entire "Dark Things" storyline that James Robinson wrote in the Justice League and Justice Society books recently.
Every aspect was much improved over his initial six issues in the Justice League monthly. The story moved forward logically and he had some great character moments that convince me he's been doing his homework.
The art was also improved overall, gaining some needed polish in both the lines and coloring.
I'm still not a fan of talking animals in the DCU and have no interest in getting to know "Congorilla" more deeply. But the new(old) Starman may have some potential.
The story was also aided by featuring so many great, well-known Justice Society characters. Hopefully Robinson's Justice League book will still hold up when it's back to featuring only his cast of former Teen Titans and obscure DC oddities.
Color me cautious but hopeful!
