Notes:
(1) I never thought anything would make me long for the days when Sam Humphries was writing this series. Tim Seeley's unabashed/in-your-face/no-nuance political and anti-religious lectures have done exactly that.
- It wouldn't be hyperbole to say that Seeley's stories are just personal opinions dressed up in comic book skin and given the mere appearance of narrative.

Notes:
(1) We end on an Aaron Gillespie two-parter. Jessica wakes up from being blacked out and finds out she's a cop killer and fugitive.
- I like the first issue better than the second, though they both have their highs and lows.
(2) My biggest problem with it is the end doesn't sufficiently tie things up.
- I doubt Jurgens will address them when he takes over the series.

Notes:
(1) I don't quite get the physics/logic of the Green World, but it's nice to see Jessica in her Power Ring outfit again.
(2) Constantine literally tugs on Superman's cape... which I hear is something you should never do.
(3) Singularity Jain indicates that she's the Serpent from the Garden of Eden who tempted Eve.
- I guess Seeley is open to some aspects of religion.

Notes:
(1) Two things stand out with this story arc. Firstly, it's not told in a very exciting way. Secondly, there's an awful lot of extraneous parts here.
- Do we really need the entire Justice League AND Constantine here?
(2) I'm really tired of Simon bringing up his origin as a falsely-accused terrorist to everybody who'll listen.
- Come up with a different ice-breaker!
