This volume collects issues 7-13, 0, and Annual 1.
Magic. A force so powerful yet so unpredictable that only those with a shifting moral compass can truly practice it. The Justice League cannot handle it. Governments cannot control it. But when those that wish to obtain great power or create great destruction for evil intents with the mystic arts, someone's got to stand against them. The Justice League Dark is that team. Just do not call them that.
The first two issues, 7 and 8, are writer Peter Milligan's last two as he did the first six. They are part of a crossover with the awesome series, "I, Vampire" and for the full crossover and effect, check out volume 2 of that series. The two issues stand nicely on their own here as Milligan has this ragtag group of magic wielders, assembled by Madame Xanadu, fighting a vampire uprising. Again, it serves to add to "I, Vampire's" story but also finishes out Milligan's decent run as he has the team break apart.
Issues 9-12, 0, 13, and Annual 1 (they are in that order) are the main story of this collection, and the start of Jeff Lemire's fantastic run. A.R.G.U.S. agent Steve Trevor approaches John Constantine about reassembling the team to go after the crazed magician, Felix Faust. Faust has captured A.R.G.U.S's undercover man and is about to gain a powerful magical artifact. Of course, the ultimate con man needs a little incentive other than serving for the greater good to risk his life, so Trevor promises him a trip to the Black Room: an urban legend among magic users where the U.S. government keeps a lot of rare and dangerous magical artifacts. Constantine gathers up what is left of the former crew to aid him in his quest to stop Faust.
Peter Milligan's Justice League Dark Vol. 1: In the Dark (The New 52) (Jla (Justice League of America) (Graphic Novels)) was a good little introduction for some of DC's more bizarre and occult figures into one team. John Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, and Madame Xanadu are some of my favorites to be put together into a team that I enjoyed just the characters being on the same page together. Volume 1 was decent, but it felt like it was just setup for the cross over with I, Vampire, which are Milligan's last 2 issues of writer for JLD (collected here) before hot writer Jeff Lemire takes over. And does Lemire take over Milligan's bizarre book and make it his own? Absolutely and makes it even better!
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK VOL.2: THE BOOKS OF MAGIC collects issues #7-13, #0, and the Annual #1. Issues #7-8 are the last issues done by writer Peter Milligan and involved in the cross over with I,Vampire. While issues #9-13, #0, and the Annual #1 are done by Jeff Lemire and makes up the "Books of Magic" arc.
Let me do a quick review of Milligan's JLD first:
After the end of volume 1, the first vampire Cain came back from the dead. It seems JLD have to stop this massive threat or it means the destruction of the world, so they go to Gotham to help Andrew Bennett (I won't spoil what happened to him. Go see I, Vampire Vol. 2: Rise of the Vampires (The New 52) for those details).
