Interesting point of view. I like that "madness" doesn't appear anywhere on your explanation because I, too, think he's not mad, just lost in chaos to the point where it's the only way to live, no matter what.
Lucifer???? Are they out of their mind... Why do this? Mike Carey's run was beautiful and epic , now it's gonna get ruined by this? This crime show shit?
I really enjoyed this. The flirting didn't bug me that much. Like others have said, it was nice to see a John Constantine comic book that flat out embraces his bi-sexuality. Instead of just dancing around it. The artwork was fantastic, and my only real complaint was that it was a lot to soak in. But that's usually how first issues are. Gotta let all the new readers play catch-up.
Nice to see a John Constantine more closer to the Vertigo one. Let's hope this John stays in his little corner of the DCU and isn't bogged down with constant crossover event tie-ins. That was the main flaw with the previous series. The occasional super-hero guest-star is fine, but that series relied so much on what other writer's were doing in other series that it never felt like it's own thing.
I'm definitely in for the next few issues. Let's see what this creative team can bring up to bat with one of my favorite comic book characters.
I'm really exctited about what's next with Black Panther. I never really cared about him until he joined the Illuminati and I reaaaaally liked him in the last Avengers arcs.
I wonder if Citizen V is gonna be Zemo or a new/different character.
