This is part one of a new storyline. In typical John Constantine fashion, his world is crumbling all around him. In this issue it's happening literally. It's a trick of the mind, but who's the dastardly one behind it all? Either way, John blames Epiphany and punches her and then regrets it. The issue closes with him calling Shade, The Changing Man. Who is Shade, The Changing Man? Apparently a character that Steve Dikto created in the 70's and writer Peter Milligan has worked on. Does this mean that Milligan is already bored with Constantine or does he have something up his sleeve? I guess we'll find out in the next issue. The art in this issue is terrific stuff. The great duo of Guiseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Landini are the artists on this arc, and their stuff is standard but very cartoon-ish. I like its crispness, and the action is easy to follow. As for the story; it's typical. Milligan had one great arc in him it seems. Lately he's been boring even himself. ** (out of ****)
