    This story and indeed this book just keep getting better. The current arc is well-worth picking up for Hellblazer fans or someone just looking for a good story. Read Full Review

    I think making Constantine work in the DCU is always a tricky balancing act, but Seeley has probably done a better job than anyone besides Tynion/Doyle. Tynion is taking the character back for Justice League Dark soon, but this is a strong run to go out on. Read Full Review

    This is a solid issue. It looks good and there is some fun in the action. I like Huntress kicking ass and the ending has potential. Additionally, the art provides a solid tone for the piece. The issue is a little boring in certain elements due to its use of certain tropes but there's fun to be had with it. Read Full Review

    Im going to be bloody sad to see this series end next issue, especially since it feels like such a great full-circle way to tie up Johns progression over the last few years, from head of the Justice League Dark to romantic New York interludes and now struggling to find his roots in his home town where the devils have come to roost.

    You Don't Read Comics - Sam Philpot Oct 30, 2018

    Overall, the issue ushers the story forward into its final chapter, leaving a nice cliffhanger to keep you thinking about what will happen next. However, its something readers have seen before with Constantine and, by know, everyone knows his soul isnt worth two bits. The Good Old Days will be the end of the Hellblazer series for DC Rebirth. Surely hell most likely keep an appearance in Justice League Dark and Batman Damned, but this may be the end of his solo series for a while. Read Full Review

    Sequential Planet - Quinn Morris Jul 2, 2018

    "Capestantine" is a bane on the character's existence, and not even Tim Seeley's usually sharp character sense is enough to save one of the edgiest characters of all time from the Flanderization he's been forced to undergo. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway Jun 27, 2018

    This thing keeps dragging on, losing all sense of urgency or interest along the way. The storytelling is clear but stiff, so even action scenes seem perfunctory. Let's put this IP to bed for a while, folks, maybe dust off the old trench coat when cigarettes come back in vogue. Read Full Review

    This chapter of "The Good Old Days" features a lot of characters, but very few who have any impact on the events of the issue. Read Full Review
