This a a pretty fun self contained story set in the Vertigo Hellblazer continuity, someplace towards the end. The story is about Constantine’s demon blood being weaponized, and it’s a pretty fun premise. Spencer’s writing is a little hard to follow at times, but Sean Murphy’s art is always great, and he’s a good match for Constantine.

No soy muy amigo de Constantine (aunque la versión de Cels Piñol ha quedado en mi imaginario) pero esta historia es muy digna con buen guión y buenos dibujos.

A very mixed comic for me. City of Demon's is pretty much a stand alone story about Constantine's blood being used by some twisted doctors to make demons on some poor folks. Si Spencer truly understand John. The language, sarcasm, jadedness it's all Constantine. But the rest of the writing is disjointed and didn't really add anything exciting to the story. Sean Murphy's art on the other hand was amazing in this book. I know a lot of people are mixed on his art style but I really love it and I think it works well in this comic. Overall I think fans of Constantine would enjoy this but everyone else should pass on this.

The art was cool, but the plot seemed a little all over the place and rushed. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be part of some larger arc, but it felt like that at times. I think I might just enjoy movies and TV shows featuring this character more than the comics.

Superb art, good story. Solid, but not exceptional. In short, good, pretty stuff.

This was okay, I didn’t enjoy it as much as other Constantine comics.
