John has always caused his own problems and now is more true than ever once that a strange murder case is connected to him.
A new storyarc begins here written by none other than Tim Seeley, as most people should know, I'm a huge fan of his work and after being disappointed by how mediocre the beginning of the current book was (and the last series written by James Tynion IV as well), I was pretty excited to come back to the title and character and I'm happy to say that this has completely met my expectations.
Seeley begins a pretty classic Constantine story with all the right beats since the beginning. People who are familiar with the character know his usual flaws and how they tend to be connected to the supernatural cases he faces, this is no different since Seeley immediately opens the chapter with the all so familiar image of Constantine after a hangover and finding himself in the middle of trouble which brings so many memories of old stories.
Seeley though brings some interesting twists to the premise which begins as a mystery and continues an intriguing development until John realizes what is actually going on and is so surprising and so fitting for the character of Constantine that is just perfect. The dialogue also is quite appropriate for the style of the book as well as the characters who are introduced here. London's setting is also implemented adequately.
I've never been a fan of Jesus Merino, I always thought that he was a pretty average artist but here he's strangely fitting due to the amount of details that he brings to the characters which creates a semi-realistic look for the book.
Pretty promising jumping on point. Hope it continues this way.
