Lo que más me gusta son las portadas... lol.

Constantine tricks Billy so that they can swap voices, which is a rotten thing to do. It’s also hard for me to imagine them with each other’s voices, somehow.

2.0 - Call me a prude, but I can't get over how dissonant it is to see Shazam, a little kid hero that's the embodiment of magic, make his first appearance outside of a Justice League title in Constantine, a title newly-graduated from its for-Adults Veritgo life.

Also, this Trinity War tie-in is as dull as a doornail. Essentially, Constantine see Shazam is magic and takes him off the board just because he feels like it. Yawn.
