I really wanted to like this, but it's unreadable twaddle. Constantine is barely in it, and it's impossible to tell what's going on. It's a shame because it does have some potentially interesting ideas in it, but the writer seems to be trying to emulate Finnegan's Wake

I'm with you. I don't think my opinion is quite as harsh, but it seems stuff like this gets hyped because people don't want to admit it's messy and difficult to follow. I have liked some of this run so far but none of it strikes me as a masterpiece or classic in the making. It feels like it's intentionally obtuse and pretentious for the sake of appearing like "high literature".

Oof. I didn't enjoy this as much as some others seem to have. I've been able to follow the story pretty well so far, and have enjoyed some of this run (the stuff with Swamp Thing was the highlight to me), but this issue had me hoping for a large secondary story that I could skip early. It was all over the place, and the two ridiculously accented characters had me skipping dialog for the sake of more
