John Constantine, Hellblazer Vol. 2: The Devil You Know by David Lloyd, Jamie Delano
3.0
Short Review
I hesitated between giving this three and three point five stars, but I settled on three. I enjoy the character of John Constantine, but the stories in this bind up weren't as great (except for the last segment and the art was incredible--quite different than the normal art). This series, since it's the original, shows it's age and if you don't have any inkling of British history and an understanding of what happened with Margaret Thatcher then you might be lost. The same with the Vietnam war as well.
The pacing slowed down in this bind up, and some of the segments were quite long and did not keep up with the pacing. The art work is showing it's age as well, but I tend to like cleaner lines and shading so do take that with a grain of salt. That's me, and has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. It still feels stilted in some places, but I think it is getting better.
Overall, a good addition and I hope to see where this series goes.
