Well, I have to say they made sure to stick to the graphic part of graphic novel, but it's so worth it. Gritty and fascinating and centered around a character I'm not sure I like but certainly can't look away from, I was enthralled from beginning to end. Twisty and suspenseful and somehow fun, this has got me jonesing for the next volume.

I won this from a goodreads giveaway.
I have read a few graphic novels and comics. I have not read anything with Constantine and I don't remember the movie so I can not use those as comparison. What I do know is I liked the character he's dark, gritty and an asshole but he is trying to save the world.
The villains were great. I especially liked Sargon the Sorceress and I want to know her back story. I also liked Papa Midnite and want to know more about him.
I enjoyed the story and the artwork. I will continue reading this series.

Decent "reboot" of Constantine under DC (rather than Vertigo), but toward the end of the volume, you can sense that there's more going on in Justice League Dark as opposed to this trade/series.

I get it -- Hellblazer is Hellblazer, and Constantine is ... not. But how did he get young again? An what about Satan, anyone? He would have a bit to say if some trumped up cultist in a bad costume killed our John. Or is the devil not welcome in this sparkly new DC Universe with lights shooting out from everyone's large pectorals and even larger breasts?
Contrary to what I said above, I really can let go of the past for a good reboot. What I can't forgive is bad storytelling. Since half of the story here seems to be told in some other series of the "New 52," much of what is left is incomprehensible. John deserves his own stories without "the costumes" mucking it all up -- or forcing readers to buy 5 different books just to get one disjointed narrative.

I've read a bunch of the older Constantine comics and I randomly stumbled across this one in the library today. It seems fairly different and there were a whole range of characters in it that I didn't really know much about/there was no explanation.. so it was kind of difficult to understand all of it. :/

I like the idea behind Constantine and I like his character. I'm still waiting for a story to develop.
