Here at Brain Freeze we walk around still traumatized because of the discontinuation of Vertigo's longest running and best known series: Hellblazer. Approximately one and a half years after the publication of the latest issue of the anger has still not subsided ... That Constantine avengers alliance now in DC's New 52 galaxy!

He does not give a shit about his friends and used them for his own purposes. Constantine is not anti-hero, among those rough diamond is no heart gingerbread. That is the mistake that the people around him. They think they can change him and value him incorrectly. He lives in his own world of shit and drags everybody with it.
