The Hellblazer: The Inspiration Game Review



Finished reading The Hellblazer: The Inspiration Game, continuing the DC Rebirth series as John Constantine finds himself revisit his own past in the form of an old flame while also dealing with a couple of murder cases on both sides of the Atlantic. The book opens with Constantine back in London as he is interrogated by a former girlfriend of his about the previous night as the body of the receptionist at a hotel Constantine was staying at was found in the ventilation system. The case soon leads Constantine on a trip down memory lane as he try's to find who is behind the murder in the hope to clear his name. The second sorry in the book see's Constantine traveling to San Francisco after news of his old friend Cats Molloy has been kill and begins to look into the murder when he gets more information from friend Jenny that Cats isn't the only person to be kill as Constantine soon find himself caught up in San Francisco's own magic circles when he is accused for being the murderer. Overall this was a great book as it brings in a different direction for the book by giving Constantine a more case by case structure with is quite refreshing as it allows to bring in some interesting antagonists and supporting cast members for each story. The art throughout the book is great as it brings the supernatural elements of the book to life extremely well thanks to the designs of the different creatures while also giving a nice amount of detail show off the characters interactions especially with how each art team is able to put focus onto each character's ability to emote. 8/10.
