This graphic novel was well written and the art was very interesting... I wasn't a fan of the art at first but it grew on me the more I read.

this was fine? I feel like I'm coming to understand that I like the Legends of Tomorrow version of Constantine better than the comics version which is like, way grittier and less goofy. And obv some folks are into grit! But not me.

But I loved the montage of him handling responses to his KregList ad for "Very Handsome Exorcist, Will Solve Spookiest Problems" and then getting called to exorcise a raccoon. Incredible, would love a whole book of that nonsense!!

My favorite moment was the descent in to the Ninth Circle (floor) of Treachery. Constantine walks right in to that play on words. Not enough to save this for me. Felt like too much action crammed in to too little space. A little more room for the emotional moments would have been appreciated.

I have to admit I wasn't too sure about the art style when I started reading this, but I came to like it a lot pretty fast. So far, I'm enjoying this series a lot more than the 2014 series, which wasn't bad but also not great. This series has a lot of charm, while being f***ing depressing at times too. John is a bastard with a lot of issues, but his heart is at the right place; this is how like to see him. Also, I'm a sucker for how openly and unashamedly they portray John's bisexuality in this; love me some good representation!
