At the same time, shadowy figure systematically finds every one of John’s new friends and executes them in violent ways. An act that will connect Constantine present and future into a conflict that will shape John’s relationships going forward.
The Story: Simon Spurrier crafts an interesting tale that is as engaging as it is disturbing. The story take care with the characters and their attitudes and the dialogue finds a good balance for both the character interactions and the shocking events happening around them. Spurrier taps into the emotion of the reader and the great moment when the story lets the reader off the hook is well earned.
The Art: Matias Bergara has an interesting visual style and that style is perfect for this story. There are some moments that feel muddled visually, but the rest of the story has a great feel and weight to it.
