Tempting Fate...
I am not current with Constantine's current events and activities in the new 52 but decided to check this issue out. The cover is pretty snazzy and I was interested in seeing John take on Nabu.
This is a pretty nice one-shot as we see the perennial underdog John take on one of the most powerful magical entities in the DC Universe. He always has a plan and as you can probably guess has been planning this showdown for quite some time. Fawkes does a really good job of making this more than the magic and relying on the two opponents using psychological means against each other. We see that these 2 rivals are far from perfect and both have baggage which has greatly affected the two of them.
The art is dark and gritty and fits in well with the overall tone of the book. This was a pretty entertaining way for Fawkes to bring John into the Future's End story.
The Grade:
