I've seen so many Constantine books on the library shelves over the years and it has always been at the back of my mind to try one but I may have picked the wrong one here. I am perhaps one of the very few people who saw the movie Constantine with Keanu Reeves and really enjoyed it but this story is hard to understand and not really worth bothering with. It gets 2 stars because I still like the character of Constantine and some of the artwork is phenomenal but otherwise avoid. Denise Mino has taken Mike Carey's place as the writer for this series. I'm a little sorry to see Carey go, as I think he did some excellent things with the character, but I'm excited to see what directions Mino takes things in. This is a good start. Mino's John Constantine is a little more vulnerable than we're used to seeing, but I think it works. She said in an interview that she sees Constantine not as a true cynic, but as an idealist who's been let down too many times, and I think that's pretty apt. I did feel in this collection that she's still trying to find her footing; there's a pretty huge info dump toward the end that just doesn't work 100% -- basically, a character shows up expressly for the purpose of giving Constantine (and the reader) a huge amount of much-needed information, but it's not clear how or why this character knows all this. The central premise, however, that a cult is causing people to feel empathy for one another to a detrimental degree, is pretty brilliant, especially since empathy is something Constantine fights constantly against. I liked this well enough that I was tempted to run out and buy the subsequent single issues that Mino has authored. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
