Although there was some good writing in this and good dialogue in this graphic novel, overall I found that the story was just okay. It took a little too long to get to the action and it just didn't feel as gritty as some of my favourite Hellblazer adventures.
I think was bothered me the most though was the artwork. Although I liked the cover art and variants, I did not like the art of the story itself. In some of the later chapters, it was too bright and colourful. Again, I prefer (and am used to) darker/grittier art when it comes to Hellblazer. Unfortunately, the artwork detracted from the best parts of the story.
