In the "Joyride" finale, John Constantine finds himself trapped in a web of corruption and depravity at the heart of middle England. But as he struggles to bring it to light, dark forces converge to bury the truth.
Odd ending aside, this issue displays a little bit of everything that has made the Diggle/Leonardo Manco run so enjoyable. Stellar art that would be right at home in any of the darker Vertigo books, plenty of atmosphere, and a healthy dose of humor to boot. I'm pretty sure I caught a subtle nod to Constantine's original inspiration, the musician Sting. If you haven't been following Hellblazer so far, this obviously isn't a good place to start. Still, you'd be well-served to start at the beginning of Diggle's run, because this is the best work of fiction John Constantine has been involved with in years. Read Full Review
It looks like Diggle will be Hellblazers writer for at least the next six months, so I hope he puts a little more thought into Constantine and develops his character past the static doppelganger we have seen lately. This is the same guy who wrote The Losers, so I know hes got it in him! Read Full Review
