There was actually a glimmer of promise in there with the opening story, and the Constantine story had some neat ideas, which got my hopes up, but on the whole it was very mixed.
I was thinking of not reading this comic because I really don't like anthologies. They're always such a mixed bag, or worse. I should've dropped it. The only story worth reading here is the first story. Featuring Batman. And that was very uneven in its own right.
