Library's review
Does a splendid job of paying off all the set up in the first volume. The first two stories are chilling horror stories (the best kind, where the true monsters are the humans), beautifully setting up the climax arc. And the resolution is eminently Constantine-y, in the best way. My only criticism

is that the climax itself was a bit tough to follow at times, being set in a dark room and the art not clearly explaining who was who or what was going on -- rather important in a big magical confusion. I managed, but twice I had to backtrack to make sure I did, and that of course does limit the enjoyment somewhat. Show Less
