John Constantine, Hellblazer: Stations of the Cross por Mike Carey
Somewhat different than the regular Constantine fare, maybe because John had his memory taken. Probably just really liked the demons in this one.
I feel like I missed something while I was reading this collection; how did we go from Constantine bargaining a day of his life away to him having three diabolical children? Did he get the demoness preggers during his lost 24 hours (and she gestated extremely quickly), or is it all in his head? I'm sure that it'll all be explained in the next volume, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's all reality and Constantine is in another fight for his life (and the world while he's at it).
Having read Carey's own graphic novel series the Unwritten and Lucifer I was familiar with his obsession with the idea of the collective unconscious/human mind/subconscious. To defeat their foe - an unnamed being from the primeval world - Constantine's allies tap into the the creature's own powers of mass mind control to re-create the beast's foe (the dog demon thing). Surprisingly, Constantine acts more as a distraction to the beast, but it can't always be him who saves the world. Though he should get credit for getting the whole effort going in the first place. But now he's lost his mind, so we're off on another random adventure!… (más)
A suitably apocalyptic conclusion to an ongoing story arc. Carey's plotting is sharp, with a fair number of twists, events which read differently in retrospect and 'oh, should've spotted that's. Only real problem - after the widespread traumatic effects of this story, how does this world come even close to being functional?
