This week Matt joins Bruce to discuss DC's top demonologist and mystic, John Constantine. First appearing as a mysterious figure in the pages of Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing, Constantine went on to star in his own very succesful and long running Hellblazer comic under the Vertigo imprint. He made enemies in the underworld in a gambit to cure his lung cancer, then later convinced God it was in the best interest of Heaven if his soul never goes to hell. Able to outsmart demons and angels alike, Constantine seems to bring nothing but death and suffering to those who get close to him. This episode contains no explicit language, but does discuss sensitive subject matter that may not be suitable for young children. Parental discretion advised.
