Nick Necro

Nick Necro is a dark sorcerer and former mentor to John Constantine who once shared a romantic relationship with Zatanna. A master of forbidden magic, his obsessive pursuit of power through dark arts made him a dangerous enemy to the Justice League Dark.

A sinister conjurer born from the fertile darkness of DC's New 52 era, Nick Necro made his entrance in Swamp Thing #0 (2012), courtesy of Scott Snyder and Kano. He haunts the shadowy corridors of Justice League Dark, where the company is deliciously dangerous — sharing pages with John Constantine, Zatanna Zatara, Felix Faust, and the spectral Boston Brand/Deadman. Though his catalog footprint is compact, the circles he moves in mark him as a figure of genuine occult menace, the kind of dark-arts player who makes the supernatural corners of the DC Universe feel genuinely threatening. If you're drawn to the weird, magical underbelly of the New 52, Nick Necro is exactly the kind of brooding discovery worth tracking down.
