Not an attempt to yuk anyone's yum... Is John Constantine a cool character in the comics?
I've never read anything with Constantine in it. AND... (here comes the potentially blasphemous part) every time I see him in a TV series, whether cartoon or live action, he is a hackneyed cliche of the reluctant hero filled with all too many faults. It doesn't help that the character is usually over-written yet somehow still incredibly 2-dimensional.
Is this the result of shorter appearances in TV shows not allowing the character to be properly filled out like he has been in the comics? Is this just the typical lazy effort to shorthand the things TV writers think the fans like about him? Maybe it's just me. (((ducking to avoid the garbage being thrown at me for asking)))
