    Beautifully written in both prose and pentameter, after reading this issue it's clear Si is no amateur. Spurrier's dialogue is spot-on and hilariously written, with this issue I find myself completely smitten. His analysis of Liberty's New Colossus is fresh and intriguing, and with his interpretation of Hell there can be no critiquing. Estherren's artwork perfectly captures the blood and the gore, his panels are never a bore. Delpeche's colors give the issue a sense of despair, a perfect mood to represent Hell's flair. My only wish after reading a book so sublime is that I could stop making sentences rhyme. Read Full Review

    This was originally supposed to be the final issue of the series, and the ending here reads like it could have been a close to the original story of the older Vertigo Constantine, as all his sins catch up with him but Spurrier has an extra epilogue in mind, one tying all the way back to the early days of Vertigo. Very intriguing stuff. Read Full Review
