Art by Riley Rossmo
John Constantine is back in New York City after his encounter with his ex-girlfriend turned ghost-killer in the United Kingdom. Constantine hates being alone and decides to take the Ghostbusters route and taking all kinds of ghostly jobs. John also has been thinking of the handsome man he met back in issue one.
This book was a bit of a let down after the story line that went through the first five issues. I'm assuming it will be a book that we look back on and say, "that's where it started." With that said, this was not a bad comic book. It was quite good and really delved into the psyche of John Constantine and his motivations.
Riley Rossmo's artwork was on display incredibly well in this issue. Rossmo was able to put together some wonderful panels with all kinds of demons and monsters with Constantine taking all of the odd jobs he was working. The jobs felt like they could have been spread out into multiple books. This is why I am thinking there is another big story line coming up as opposed to a monster of the month type of book.
Again, I love the writers of "Constantine the Hellblazer" even if this wasn't my favorite book. I'm looking forward to seeing where everything goes from here. "Constantine the Hellblazer" is available now and the cover price is only $2.99.
