Constantine's mind is a mess due to his confrontation with the Crime Syndicate and he will need the help of the House of Mystery to find the answers inside of his own conscience and the true nature of evil.
This is J.M. DeMatteis' first issue on this series and it's unsurprisingly an improvement. Unlike the previous author, Ray Fawkes, DeMatteis focus on the personal struggles of John Constatine instead of classic superheroics, this issue also included some team dynamics despite that none of the members of the team were actually here and the way DeMatteis handles it is pretty inventive.
Best of all is how mysthical and complex this issue feels in comparison to the previous ones, the exploration of the House of Mystery starts revealing different aspects of the house itself and its connection to John that it's actually more profound that we initially believed.
I'm also glad to say that despite that this was a supposedly part of a big crossover, it didn't felt like a tie-in nor a fragmented piece of a story. It flows pretty naturally and the actual continuation is going to happen on the next issue of this same title.
Mikel Janin is on art so you know it's going to be great, especially at the introspective segments.
Promising first issue definitely and actually better than what I was expecting due to the editorial mandate.
