What would you sacrifice to save someone from damnation? The final chapter of "The Good Old Days" puts what may be the final nail in John Constantine's coffin: preparing to say goodbye to this mortal coil, John's oddly introspective, brooding over an ex-lover who's possessed by demons. Since she can't be exorcised, she's bound for Hell-unless John makes the ultimate sacrifice and takes her place. Pack light, John-we hear it's warm where you're going.
If the series has to end, this was a good note to go out on. Good health, John, and good night. Read Full Review
This is a solid issue. What really brings it together for me is Constantine's ultimate plan to save Margaret. It is the definition of messed up and absolutely the thing Constantine would do. I kind of hate the ending with Huntress but it's an enjoyable read outside of that. Read Full Review
Yes, I expected more of a bang from final issue this going in, but one again Seeley manages to shut me up by staying true to the character throughout. Is it a nice ending, or is it a to be continued? Only time will tell. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a strong finale to the series with one glaring flaw. Read Full Review
Hellblazer #24 is a decent read. It has some distinctly Constantine moments and an enjoyably vague yet confident conclusion. There are some moments that dont quite click, and the art isnt great. However, the overall product amounts to more than the sum of its parts, and I can recommend it. Feel free to pick it up. Read Full Review
The epilogue of this series tries its best to have that cake and eat it too, but the final page is downright groan-worthy, a terrible cap on a series no one will likely remember. Read Full Review
Constantine saves the day by pissing everyone off, and actually performing a magic rite for the first time since this whole story arc began. This story was bloated and boring, and its conclusion is neither satisfying or amusing. Put this character back in the box until you figure out what it is you want to do with him. And "maximize his profitability" is not a good enough reason, Didio. Read Full Review
Sad to see it end. But I still hopes that DC will give John a new ongoing with a Mature rating.
This is the worst.
