Hellblazer: Empathy is the Enemy & Red Right Hand
John Constantine: occultista della classe operaia ed esperto manipolatore proveniente dalle strade di Liverpool. Uno dei personaggi più bizzarri e inquietanti del mondo. In quest´ipnotica storia di inganni, omicidi e segreti ambientata in Scozia, Constantine entra in una nuova era della sua macabra carriera e indaga su un mistero che sembra destinato a risolversi solo con la sua morte. Dopo un incontro casuale in un pub di Londra, Constantine verrà trascinato fi no a Glasgow, dove il tasso di omicidi è aumentato vertiginosamente, e dove la dieta popolare più in voga è basata sulle sigarette, sul whisky e sugli zuccheri... in altre parole, una città dove Constantine si sente proprio a casa. Questa volta, però, le cose sono destinate ad andare diversamente. Qualcuno ha scagliato contro Constantine una terribile maledizione: l´empatia verso il resto dell´umanità. John dovrà superare tutto questo prima di affrontare quello che lo attende a Glasgow: un fantasma irascibile, un’antica setta, un mago potente quanto lui e un orrore che va al di là della sua immaginazione. In questo volume trovate raccolti i numeri 216-228 di Hellblazer, sceneggiati dalla premiata scrittrice Denise Mina e disegnati da Leonardo Manco.

No empieza mal con el tema de la empatía y ese 'tercer lugar' donde habita un ser extraño, pero se pierde por el camino y tiene momentos que rozan la vergüenza ajena.

Not gone on Denise Minas story line though I must admit it has a couple of good moments, and though Constantine himself feels right, none of the other characters do. I do not like the premises for the plot either - too complicated without yielding any real power. But it’s her first go - so I’ll keep reading.

La idea de partida es una maravilla, pero el desarrollo... El tomo que más me ha costado acabar hasta ahora.
(Muy fan, en cualquier caso, de que el mundo se salve gracias a Cristiano Ronaldo).
