"Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston; Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel family."

Witching Hour

"There is a tugging one feels on their heart as the moonlit shadows grow each night. A great cosmic toll ringing out, warning all of humankind to light their fires and tuck their children tightly into bed. There is a reason humans have always feared the dark."

It is no secret that I love Wonder Woman and Greek mythology a lot. Hecate in particular, is one my favorite goddesses to ever grace the literature, with her mysterious powers and three bad-ass aspects at the moonlit cross roads, guarded by her dogs.
So, the reason follows that I could not miss this issue that brings together my two favorites. Now, was it a bad idea to jump into this issue without having read any of the previous issues in the collection? Possibly. Did I regret it? Not even a little bit.


Batman realizing I actually have no idea what is going on in the story.

With cameos from Batman, Man-bat, Swamp Thing, Circe, and Detective Chimp (I swear I am not making this up), this was an exciting adventure filled to the brim with magic, mythology and kick-ass artwork.

The future of magic in the DC Universe is rewritten in Wonder Woman and Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour, an epic adventure by New York Times best-selling writer James Tynion IV and artists including Jesus Merino, Emanuela Lupacchino and Alvaro Martínez Bueno.

Now the original owners have returned, and Hecate must awaken today's Witchmarked, among them Wonder Woman! Allied with Justice League Dark--including John Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, Swamp Thing and Detective Chimp--as well as her deadliest enemy, Circe, Wonder Woman must embrace a heritage she never knew she had for a battle they must win...at any cost.
