Taylor is a worthy successor for writing John Constantine, whose appearances in the Injustice and DCeased series have been standouts. This tale is lighter than those but still great fun, flowing along effortlessly to a satisfying conclusion.
I’m sure there will be people complaining that this isn’t the usual hardcase Constantine, but not every single story has to be utterly grimdark from top to bottom. John is still a right bastard here, even if he does edge closer to the side of the angels on this outing. Fallen angels, though, as he does the buddy cop thing with Satan himself, but still a lot of goodness. Which I think is fine.
The art by Darick Robertson is terrific throughout, telling a straightforward story but still with lots of verve. Which is to be expected of the co-creator of [b:Transmetropolitan|22416|Transmetropolitan, Vol. 1 Back on the Street|Warren Ellis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320606005l/22416._SY75_.jpg|23442] and [b:The Boys|1214485|The Boys, Volume 1 The Name of the Game|Garth Ennis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1224646048l/1214485._SY75_.jpg|2642984].

To be honest, if it has Constantine in it, I'm probably gonna love it. But add in Lucifer, and I'm definitely there. It felt a little lighter than a normal Constantine, but that's part of its charm. I also liked the cop aspect, which I feel like I haven't really seen with Constantine before. It's fast-paced and a fun read.
