John Constantine travels deep into Germanys Black Forest to prevent Cold Flame assassins from killing an innocent mystic healer until hunter becomes prey as John finds himself chased down by the ravenous, vicious beasts of the Stained Claw!
A strong sense of place, good art and strong character writing make CONSTANTINE a thoroughly enjoyable read, a travelogue of the mysterious underbelly of the DCU. Read Full Review
While I'd much rather of seen the breaking of the chains of reality that was teased last issue, I have to say that this wasn't a bad consolation. At this point it seems that this book really suffers from having a new artist every month, but lucky for us Edgar Salazar is on art duty this month and we have a comprehensible story to follow. Also even with the fact that I love Ray Fawkes on this book, I feel that the story is wearing thin and I hope that it comes to a head soon so we can get Constantine onto something new.

"Constantine" #16 feels like the series has gone through a lot of improvement over the past year, which is nice to see. At this point, it feels like the overall path of "Constantine" is back on track, and that's good with a new television series just around the corner. If fans of the show decided to pick up the comic, I think they'd find themselves welcomed, and that's a good thing. Read Full Review
This issue of Constantine can be summed up as a very deep sigh. Squandered potential and ill-suited artwork mean that this issue is perhaps one of the worst of the series, and it had been doing so well in the last few months in capturing the feel of a good supernatural book, close to its origins as Hellblazer. Let's sweep this one under the rug and hope for better next time. Read Full Review
