Well, I've reread Sandman multiple times, so it's about bloody time I read John Constantine in his own work, right?

It's all right. It categorized under the type of graphic novel that isn't my favorite, but I still enjoyed this. I enjoyed the societal statement on the 80s very much, being only a wee tyke at the time. I enjoyed the magic. I enjoyed some of the characters and the horror element, of course. I didn't really enjoy the art, and the writing got a bit–dare I say purple?–sometimes. Jamie has a way with metaphors, but it got a bit much. Most of it is voice over, too much of it.

That being said, I shall look forward to reading more of it.
