Sargon in particular is a treat with her demonic eyes and bizarre Hell’s Hipster look. It’s fun to watch him stretch his muscles a bit after seeing him on books like Wolverine for so long he dives headfirst into the designs of the supernatural elements of this book and excels at them. Renato Guedes is a good get for this book, bringing his thin line work and penchant for solid facial expressions to the table. It’s serviceable, sure, but not memorable.
The plot of the issue does serve this larger theme to a degree, but it does so by going through the motions rather than connecting emotionally. While I really wasn’t intrigued by the plot at all, I found the character work with Constantine and the larger theme that the writers explore – that magic isn’t free and will always have a cost – deeply engaging.
There’s some magical hoopla to be found the summoning of demons and a kid that sees things he shouldn’t be seeing, all with an expectedly grim conclusion. The circumstances that surround Constantine are far less interesting than it is to watch the character wade through them.
