Well damn...Constantine has some shitty ass luck in this one.

After being who he is, and getting people he loves or likes killed, we're left with a very broken Magic user named Constantine. This is a look at a heartbroken man, lost, love gone, everything taken from him, and basically becomes a shell of who he used to be. It's the fact he is barely holding on that you feel some pity for him even if he brings A LOT of his own bad luck on to himself.

This was a dark book. And not dark in the edgy type of shit sometimes Ennis likes to write. This is a soul of a man on the verge of complete loss. Of giving into every dark desire you have to give up. And it's so damn entertaining to watch this man barely surviving yet not completely giving up. The art if fantastic with Steve coming in to give a very preacher feel.

This might be the strongest volume yet. Really loving the direction.
