The latest Constantine: The House of Mystery brings John Constantine back to the forefront with the aftermath of Apokolips War. Could this latest entry keep their winning streak alive or will it fail to conjure up a film worthy of their filmography?

With these ongoing connected stories they had been keeping them pretty close to the same, but this one looks quite different. It’s not bad or anything just kind of caught me off guard sicne I was expecting the same style since this is a direct follow-up to Apokolips War.
