More than anything, Constantine feels like it wants to have its cake and eat it, too, trying hard to pull over readers from Vertigo's Hellblazer comic while also trying to bring in a new audience of DC Universe fans. It's never quite as fun or clever as what was done at Vertigo with the character and the first issue at least doesn't do enough to pull you in with something that makes you want to continue following the character. There is potential though, and maybe they'll just need a few more issues to get to that point.
