John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background. He's a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill. In this latest volume in the graphic novel series, Peter Milligan (BATMAN, HUMAN TARGET, X-Statix), one of Vertigo's most popular and prolific scribes writes the adventures of Constantine for the first time. John digs his fingers deep into his bumpy past and discovers that old wounds and new loves are both best left untouched. 12 years ago in Liverpool, there was a bloody dockers' strike. Things fell apart when a union leader caved-in to the bosses. Today, John Constantine has a new girlfriend and an extraordinary, horrible new skin complaint- A weeping, dark, knobby scab covers part of his body. And it's growing. What's the bizarre link between this skin fungus and a largely forgotten chapter of British Trade Union history?… (més)

With a new writer and a new lead artist comes a whole new Constantine. Or may be not, since he's still wreaking havoc in the lives of those who get close to him (this time a young doctor named Phoebe) and getting unwittingly caught up in magic he knows nothing of. The plot is a lot simpler than I'm used to in the Constantine series, but it's only just getting started. I have high hopes that we'll move into something a little less pulpy soon and if not what the hell - it's still interesting! The art style throws me a little more than the plot (even though it's quite nice in and of itself), because the Constantine that we are presented with is a little bit too clean cut (revolting scab not withstnading) and a bit young for the battered 40ish we know him to be.
