Both Doyle and Del Rey convey these feelings beautifully in their very distinct styles and are partnered with colorists that contribute to the storytelling as much as everybody else. They bring a humanity to John that makes us simultaneously repulsed and attracted to him. “Tynion and Doyle clearly love this unlovable lout named John Constantine.

It’s self-serving and there are consequences to others (as Gaz the ghost notes, the clerk will almost certainly be fired) in other words, business as usual.” (Source: CBR) It’s classic Constantine, lulling bystanders into doing what he needs, but also having that extra edge in his pocket to make the process just a little bit easier.

“Doyle and Tynion have a mixture of magic and persuasive wit in Constantine’s dialogue, talking about the darker parts of the world and how it’s best to just look away from the nastiness lest you get sucked in. Sexual acts as well as nudity are sparse and not drawn in great detail, no genitalia is shown. But even if Constantine somehow survives the supernatural serial killer, the price involved could leave whatever’s left of his soul beaten and broken. Their dark, tangled history together is filled with music and magic, failed friendships and disastrous romance. CONSTANTINE: THE HELLBLAZER: GOING DOWN collects the first six issues of the groundbreaking series by celebrated writers Ming Doyle (THE KITCHEN) and James Tynion IV (BATMAN ETERNAL) and acclaimed artists Riley Rossmo (Proof) and Vanessa Del Rey (Hit). The investigation takes the Hellblazer from New York City back home to London, where he joins up with an old rival, now an exorcist in Her Majesty’s Secret Service. To stop it, Constantine must explore the barriers between the mundane and the extraordinary: the thin places. Far worse than ordinary death, this second death means oblivion-no afterlife, no way back. But when the ghosts that haunt the occult detective start being murdered, it becomes clear the rules have changed. The dead can’t die again-even within the supernatural circles that surround John Constantine, some things are impossible.
