Some thoughts about Constantine #7

The Cult of the Cold Flame has taken everything from Constantine.

John's life is being destroyed while everyone who is close to him and even others who are like him follow the same path, not even the most powerful magicians on the planet are able to oppose the Cult and Constantine will have no other choice but obey, for now at least.

Damn, Ray Fawkes is a tricky author, sometimes you think is just an okay writer based on his work in series like Pandora or Justice League Dark and then he comes with this series that destroys all your beliefs.

This is probably the best issue yeat. Fawkes continues to rock Constantine's world by creating and destroying new myths at the same time, the story is fastly paced while still able to maintain your attention, the antagonist are powerful, threatening and distinctive, the worldbuilding is excellent. What more can you ask for?

Just last month I was wondering if would see Simon Kundransky on pencils again after his fantastic work on Secret Society and here he is replacing ongoing artist Renato Guedes and he's probably the best replacement that this title has seen. His style is a great fit for this book, dark, eerie and suspensuful, is just wonderful.

Man, I don't want to keep buying this series due to the Forever Evil: Blight forced crossover but Fawkes is forcing me to do it.
