Things get back on track in this one I guess, but this whole series is looking like it should be skipped. The Cold Flame Story is going to take up this whole series it seems. It gets caught up in yet another cross over in the end.

Don't love the mainstream Constantine.

This is pretty convoluted and I honestly felt the story telling got disjointed and felt fractured which I personally dislike. This was just disappointing for me since I liked the first volume so much.

I don’t know why I’m still reading New 52 back issues since everyone’s long since disavowed it and they have pretty much no bearing on Rebirth. After this, I think I’m calling it a day. This issue in particular sees the retcon of John’s past - instead of his mother dying in childbirth and his father being a no account alcoholic criminal, John seemed to be a perfectly normal kid who was somehow led astray by a magician and forced to kill both of his parents in exchange for power. Further we have this strange morality cop-out in which somewhere along the line, Zatanna cast a spell on John to “be a better person” and this little earworm has been subconsciously guiding his actions ever since. Constantine has always been a complicated character and this moves him towards a childish conceit of "I have to do good because Zatanna charmed me to.” No wonder everyone hated New 52...

Did I miss something? The ending to Vol. 2 did not pick up here or anywhere else in this volume. Ugh.
Good story stuff, though. Except for the superheroes. Still feels very false.

trochę lepiej niż poprzednio, chociaż strasznie nie podoba mi się, że nie mam pojęcia co stało się po cliffhangerze z drugiego tomu. This series is one big mess.

Again, as a crossover title, this didn't do too much to hold my interest -- it was mostly Zatanna's very tentative involvement that kept me invested. And the fact that I miss the good ol' bastard John Constantine.
