A fairly weak entry in the Hellblazer series (along with the first part, [b:Hellblazer: Empathy is the Enemy|133019|Hellblazer Empathy is the Enemy|Denise Mina|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172015795s/133019.jpg|128141]) -- hey, I'm all in favor for multiverses where superheroes get to save their particular universe every few weeks, but Hellblazer has always been rooted in a very specific time (the grimy present, mostly) and place (a grimy London), and doesn't quite lend itself to the usual sorts of global apocalyptic meltdowns. There's a reason Garth Ennis' [b:Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits|133018|Hellblazer Dangerous Habits|Garth Ennis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172015795s/133018.jpg|128140] is still one of the best story arcs in the series: Constantine as grubby mortal, not as man of steel.

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.

Somewhat different than the regular Constantine fare, maybe because John had his memory taken. Probably just really liked the demons in this one.

This was very different from the original Wacky Races television series. Parts of the story I liked but it just didn't hold very well. Also, I wasn't a fan of the art very much it took all the comedy elements away. I was also disappointed they removed all the anthropomorphic animals (a bear and beaver) and replaced them as humans.

Oddly just like the movie, and the art in the first comic reflected that. Then it swapped artists and constantine went blonde. A bit disconcerting, that. I think I want to read more of these, but they're a bit gritty for my taste.
