Thoughts:
(1) Current scheme: Trojan Horse meets "Weekend at Bernie's."
(2) Constantine refers to Justice League Dark as "Zatanna and the others." Which is all you need to know about the prominence, or lack thereof, of nearly all its member. It's like say "Paul McCartney and Wings."
(3) Nightmare Nurse is apparently a proponent of sexual healing.

Three things:
(1) "Chris"... worst superhero name ever!
(2) Cassandra's blind... so it's at least plausible that she doesn't know that the neckline of her blouse is gradually plunging lower and lower. Though she is a psychic, so this should have been foreseen.
(3) Too much stuff happens for pure shock value... quickly undone and pointless.

Musings:
(1) There's too many fake-out plot twists! It's like the boy who cried wolf: at a certain point you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
(2) Nick Necro? Nightmare Nurse? Zatanna Zatara? Boston Brand? Felix Faust? It's getting like Marvel up in here with all the alliteration!
(3) This isn't terrible, I just don't care about anyone.

Notes:
(1) This isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Still, I'm powering through it like a heavy chore.
(2) Nightmare Nurse is a very Tim Burton character. I've given her Helena Bonham-Carter's voice.
(3) I'm somewhat uncomfortable with God being a character here. It seems fairly blasphemous, though Christianity is portrayed surprisingly favorably.

Thoughts:
(1) You know in Ghostbusters II there's a river of slime under the city that's the embodiment of bad vibes? Well there's sort of the same thing here except it's a giant smoke-snake embodiment of evil thoughts.
(2) I like that evil Aquaman is essentially the 1990s "extreme" Aquaman.
(3) So far this book's been one long, boring acid trip.

Thoughts:
(1) I don't care about this book, or any of its characters. But I'm a completist when it comes to comics, and inasmuch as this is somewhat tied somehow into something I've read sometime, I must get this over with.
(2) At least there'll be some good Mikel Janín art. This series got him the job on Grayson, which got him the job on Batman.
