Peter Milligan! Oh no! Not again!
While not particularly bad, of course nothing is great either. With a confusing plotline to match the murky colorations, the path from A to B is gunky at each turn of the page. Toss in a minimal sprinkling of tension and everything feels as unthrilling as it is pointless.

I actually quite enjoyed this story of Constantine compared to the one’s I’ve read so far. I found the topic impactful, as some who suffered from suicidal thoughts as a teen, so I enjoyed page 16 (in my version I read) where Constantine says;
“This ain’t worth it, Abhik. The feelings you’re having, they’ll pass. They passed with me. I ain’t going to lie to you and say that life’s always beautiful. Sometimes I want to jump in front of a train, even after all these years. But I’ve learned to deal with it. And I’m glad.”
It reminds me to keep marching on, knowing tomorrow’s another chance.

Love Constantine, and I enjoyed the premise of this story, but the whole "Woe is me, it's so hard to be John Constantine" got old really quick.

"John Constantine henüz çocukken arkadaşı olmak dahi güvenli değildi." temalı kısa hikaye.
Hikayenin anlatmak istediği bir derdi varsa da bana geçmedi, etkilemedi. Çizimlerin de bir albenisi olmayınca sonuç olarak bana hitap etmedi.
