I am a huge hellblazer fan, bought the first issue when it came out, and love Constantine in general. This has got to be my least favorite hellblazer I ever read. the stories were not compelling or interesting and the art was terrible. Disappointed.

If you go by the Amazon.com reviews, this collection seems to be fairly universally disliked. I can kind of see why; Azarello does some very difficult things with the character, particularly in the final story arc in this collection, and I feel like I'm going to have to re-read this a couple of times to really grasp what he's up to. I don't, however, think it's nearly as bad as the reviews I read suggest; in fact, I think it's quite good and quite daring. I described it to a friend as "deeply weird," which is probably appropriate.

This is, hands-down, my least favorite portrayal of Constantine ever. Which is really sad, because normally I love Brian Azzarello.
