So this book is strictly an origin story of Constantine. I know the Justice League Dark in the New52 is all about dem magic folk, and I wasn't particularly interested, but this story was actually well written and engaging, and I can see myself checking out a few more issues of JL Dark.
The story is Constantine trying to learn more magic. Why? Dunno. Magic is power, power is cool, etc... So Constantine travels to America cause we got like, the BESTEST MAGICIANS HERE! and appeals to Nick Necro to help train him... Oh, and Zatanna is Nick's girlfriend.
So they let Constantine travel along and use their magic to fight crime sorta? and Constantine learns under their tutelage. That's about it. Oh wait, almost forgot... Constantine f*cks Zatanna! Yeah, take that Nick!
So, they leave Nick and Nick Necro becomes a (duhn dun duuuuuuuhn) villain!
Anyway, I'm going to read JL Dark at some point, because this issue, for whatever reason, held my attention, even though i'm not a fan of magic in comics or the DCU. Let's see if (once the whole team is assembled), this continues to capture my attention.
