The beginning was ok and the last comic was ok. But what the actual fuck was John Dee and the diner scene. The funeral home confession was completely unnecessary and gross.
Off to watch the Netflix adaptation.

I started the series after finishing this volume and read the second while watching it. The pacing of the comic feels a little rushed and there are some changes in the show that I prefer over book version, but I still really like this comic.
Spoilers for the comic and the series:
Though I missed the Etrigan cameo in the show, separating the story from the larger DC world works better for the story, though there's still a gender-bent Constantine. It's trippy to think about The Sandman and Doom Patrol series being part of the same world.
