Review: Justice League #23.3 – Dial E

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 19, 2013 | Reviews

China Miéville’s “Dial H” was a cult book that remained largely inaccessible for most readers throughout its run. It was overly weird and mostly disconnected from anything resembling the ‘New 52’ – even with a “Flash” crossover late in the game. Needless to say, I absolutely loved it. “Dial E” captures what “Dial H” was […]
