azzarello doesnt understand constantine as a person and was still heavily afflicted with the grimdarkness of 90s comics in this volume. so he ends up writing johnny as this complete fucking asshole instead of the kind of awful but genuinely caring bastard that he'd been for like 15 years of writing before this garbage. even the fucking art mischaracterizes him. he looked more like the damn joker than john constantine. also, its racist. which isnt exactly *new* for hellblazer considering it started in the 80s, but i dont remember it ever getting quite as egregious as this.
