I love John Constantine, but this just missed it a bit for me. It was predictable. I liked seeing a side of him that's punk though. Interesting take on his love life too.

In my opinion this is a pretty ok book, the art is a little up and down with the characters reminding me of movie star planet at times, Idk if it was my copy but the art seemed doubled up on some pages so the text was incredibly hard to read. The story was ok, playing it pretty safe tho, the romance part was enjoyable and seeing his relationships grow was fun, the magic part was also ok but in general a lot seemed rushed at part, if there comes a book 2 I'll read it tho

The world this took place was odd, everyone was openly talking about magic and doing magic but then it was treated like a secret. The characters were a bit dense and generic. The artwork was fun. 
I wouldn't read it again.

I felt it was a bit all over the place trying to fit in as much as possible, however I did love it. I just felt I needed maybe more backstory or something.
