Oct 24, 2007Odd ending aside, this issue displays a little bit of everything that has made the Diggle/Leonardo Manco run so enjoyable. Stellar art that would be right at home in any of the darker Vertigo books, plenty of atmosphere, and a healthy dose of humor to boot. I'm pretty sure I caught a subtle nod to Constantine's original inspiration, the musician Sting. If you haven't been following Hellblazer so far, this obviously isn't a good place to start. Still, you'd be well-served to start at the beginning of Diggle's run, because this is the best work of fiction John Constantine has been involved with in years. Read Full Review

This is the same guy who wrote The Losers, so I know hes got it in him! Read Full Review
