It looks okay. The dialogue is pretty good, but I get the feeling the stories are going to be bland like in JLD.
Isn't Chris that Shia Labeouf character from the movie?

Dialogue's pretty awful. Constantine is basically Sherlock Holmes now? I don't like it. :(
Oh well, at least we've got one more issue of Hellblazer coming.

I like the preview but I share Mr. Holme's thoughts. The stories have the potential to end up very bland. I like the art though and the writing doesn't seem terrible.

Did'nt you read the most recent interview? Fawkes stated that this title is going to be completely different from JLD which is based more on superheroics.

Well I hope that translates to the comic. Because that May solicit about finding the mystical artifact doesn't really inspire much confidence. Originally Posted by Rakzo

So... mining BOOKS OF MAGIC for story ideas? And turning at least 2 classic heroes into villains?
Good start. :PMario Di Giacomo

Glad I looked at the preview before considering buying it. Now I know I will get my Constantine fix in the future by picking up Hellblazer back issues I have yet to read. Don't like the look of this...
Avengers Arena is one of the best books in the shops right now, it's seriously amazing.
Show Teddy some love!

The art isn't great...
Shia LaBeouf character was called Chas. But Chas Kramer, not Chandler. Originally Posted by Mr. Holmes

Does not look promising to me. Especially the art-- nothing wrong with it, per se, but just not fitting for the type of story they're shooting for. Maybe I've just been spoiled by all the great HB artists over the years-- when you immediately think of Sean Phillips' JC as your baseline, you're probably going to be disappointed by just about anyone else.
