Intro
At the time, I read Justice League Dark I found Constantine
to be a very interesting character. I really like his snotty charisma attitude
that you can’t seem to trust and how he has a soft spot for Zantanna. So, his
complexity of a character became an instant favorite of mine. So, when I heard
he was getting a New 52 solo series, I was pretty excited and wondered what
take will be on it. I never read his Hellblazer series which I hope to check
out someday. I keep hearing great things about it so I have to read it.
Anyways, since this series has been out for a while, it’s been okay. There
hasn’t been that many interesting stories that gives the wow factor in my
books. Don’t get me wrong, he does have interesting villains like Sargon, but I
think this series can do so much more. And sadly the Forever Evil tie-ins with
Constantine makes it the weakest compared to the others. So, this issue still
falls in the okay scale and it might be the worst one yet for me.
Story
Constantine and the rest of new Justice League Dark gang are
on their way to find Zantanna, but someone from the team turns against them and
it’s someone you never expected to be.
The Good
The only good thing looking forward to this issue is the
return of many fan favorite characters even
from the beginning of Justice
League Dark are teased.
The Bad
This issue is really sort of bad. I’m really disappointed
about a certain character I really became interested in since the Forever Evil
tie-ins became a total waste. I’m also confused that the character is also
chained up in the end like the rest. So, I really don’t know what’s going on.
The issue does a really bad job at explaining what’s happening here. And I
think you might have to read the next issue to get the clear picture. The issue
goes by too quickly and maybe that’s why I am a little lost here. The art looks
terrible too. It’s less detailed and mudded and looks like it was just rushed
to get it published. It’s like they didn’t have enough time to work on this
issue and just threw it in there. It was just really, really bad!
Verdict
I give this issue a 3/5 out of 5/10 stars. It was a really
okay issue. I was just disappointed for the development of a certain character
and it left me really confused in the end. I just hope what happened in this
issue wasn’t totally true and I’m hoping the character stays in team in the
future. I also felt that this was the worst issue of the Forever Evil: Blight
tie-ins. What makes it worse is that art was really bad and sort of disgusting
too, it really didn’t improve the issue at all. The only reason I can see worth
buying this issue is if you want to follow through with the story and see
what’s going on other than that it’s really bad. I just hope the next issue
doesn’t turn out to be this boring either.
