COnstantine's escapade in Scotland comes to a conclusion - as much as it ever does with him - with one of his companions taking the place of the demon who was causing the overabundance of empathy. The story doesn't really seem to be concluded though, since the man in question could become like the demon in time and continue to create havoc! Constantine isn't really convinced either it seems - or maybe that's just his typical cynicism kicking in again. I just don't enjoy Mina's work on Hellblazer nearly as much as I'd like to. The concept of this story is great, and there are a few neat bits, but overall it isn't nearly as good as it could be. The end feels like a cheat rather than the brilliant surprise victory I'm guessing it was conceived as. Manco's art continues to be brilliant. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Award-winning novelist Denise Mina (The Dead Hour, Deception, Field of Blood), one of the hottest rising talents in crime fiction, takes the hard-drinking master of bad-luck magic on one of the most haunting chapters in his macabre career. This volume features Constantine facing perhaps the most difficult task of his life: a dream of universal empathy that proves to be hell on Earth for Glasgow. He must gather up all the happy people he can and get them to Glasgow in order to stop a tsunami of bad vibes from overwhelming the world. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

This time around, it's Glasgow that's infected by an epidemic of over-empathy; the poor Glaswegians end up overdosing on the terrible memories of the people around them. Chas and Gemma are dutifully trotted out, as always, but they have nothing better to do than to guilt-trip our Johnny into saving the universe (again). Mina's Empathy Engine sounds an awful lot like Jamie Delano's [b:Hellblazer: The Fear Machine|2382804|Hellblazer The Fear Machine|Jamie Delano|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jpkNF9THL._SL75_.jpg|2389816], an arc that never worked in the first place, and the ending fizzles out, predictably, in an anticlimactic fashion.
