Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour (2023)

The Justice League Dark faces an existential erasure as Hecate, the ancient goddess and source of all magic, awakens to reclaim the power she scattered across the Earth millennia ago. Diana Prince, having discovered she was branded since childhood with the Witchmark, becomes the unwilling vessel for this primeval force, threatening to consume her identity and rewrite reality itself. As the "Witching Hour" begins, the Upside-Down Man and his horrific Otherkind break through the barriers of the Multiverse, feeding on the chaos as magic begins to rot and turn against its practitioners. Zatanna, John Constantine, Swamp Thing, and Detective Chimp must navigate a collapsing mystical landscape where spells misfire and the laws of nature dissolve. The team retreats to the Tower of Fate and the Parliament of Trees, seeking an alliance with the most dangerous dark arts entities to prevent Hecate from activating the final Witchmarks hidden within other powerful sorcerers. With the Justice League of America powerless against this metaphysical onslaught, the Dark team must decide if they are willing to sacrifice Wonder Woman to save the soul of the universe. In a final, desperate ritual at the heart of the Collective Unconscious, Zatanna attempts to invert the flow of magic, leading to a cosmic confrontation that will either redefine the hierarchy of power or plunge the world into a permanent, godless shadow. The war concludes not with a simple victory, but with a fundamental change to the nature of magic that leaves the survivors scarred and the magical world forever transformed.
