Can we just appreciate how op Jon Kent is in this series 1. Knocking out Orion with one punch 2. Killing an amazon drone 3. Punchin f**king Trigon! His father would be so, so, so proud of him. 😰
Oh man, john constantine has been one of my favorite magic characters ever since I first saw him in his own tv show years ago. I was so happy when he showed up again in arrowverse and became more forward in comics as well. Just love the character.
Making Trigon say "What the Hell!?" Is the best thing Jon Kent did on this series. Also saying that it takes a hero to say no to people in power, hits hard on me.
My Favourite DC Characters 1. Bruce Wayne/Batman 2. Dick Grayson/Nightwing 3. John Constantine 4. Jon Kent/New Superman 5. Teen Titans (Kory, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Damian Wayne, Static Shock & Blue Beetle) 6. DARKSEID 7. Michael & Lucifer 8. Jon Stewart 9. Superboy (Young Justice & Crisis Version) 10. Cassandra Cain 11. The Outsiders & Justice League Dark 12. Joker
Ive never heard of constantine until the show, and ever since i feel like everything DC has had john appear in some meaningful way. He’s like the magical version of batman, always has a way to defeat a villain stronger than him.
@@ComicBookGuy420 literally tho. Every comic and animated universe is centered around the members of the Justice League. I'm glad characters like John are getting used in more mainstream stories
Ya but also it makes sense. You can't beat someone like a fully manifested Trigon with raw brute force. You need to out think him with magic or in John's case being the universe's most effective underhanded crafty bastard who just so happens to be a master occultist
I'm so sick of how op Superman, and No he can't defeat Trigon nor other cosmic beings, "stay in your lane, alien boy whose powered by the sun which is not even multiversal level".
@@12MRJERSEY same. They just hopped into some water downed versions of our fav heros. Im ok with John as superman but it feels so forced in this run. If they want a new age why not go with one run that people injoy right now and has had a time skip and its the about disciples of the originals?
@@mikey_dh5662 Future State as a whole is pretty good tho. The Justice League story isn't good, but the event is putting out some really nice stories so far.
I just can’t wait for The DC Rebirth movie because I heard theories that after the Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, that’s when the Rebirth is supposed to happen😁
I wish. I think WB Animation said they weren't going that route though. It's a shame, because Superman: Man of Tommorow looked like it was setting up a whole new DCAMU.
When the writers deliberately leave out connecting elements to make room for a future series. THAT is how comics/tv series/movies should be written to continue on
COMICS They can revive the dead Invent a new dimension It wasn't our earth, it was another in the Multiverse Etc They don't need to follow proper storytelling as much in comics
I have loved Constantine since he first appeared in Swamp Thing. Being born half an hour from Liverpool means I can hear his scouse accent in my head whenever he speaks, which makes his with even better. I will definitely be buying this Graphic Novel on release.
Man just when you thought Constantine mix enough powers with his own he gains Deadman's powers if Black Lantern Rings exist in this universe and Constantine gets 1 I'm not sure if anything would be able to stop him
I don’t read comic books anymore but I do like Constantine always have, I come to you to get my comic book fix without actually having to read it and thank you for actually doing a magnificent job you do good work and you keep me entertained with comic books even though I no longer read them it was good to see Constantine do that. I knew Constantine had it in him to be selfless he just always played the selfish roll so it was nice to see that side of him
Constantine is like the plot device or plot connivence that tips the scales in the good guys favor. He’s the 4+ wild card in the Uno game. He’s Batman’s contingency plan. (And that’s high praise if you’re the Batman backup plan)
Proab people like Trigion Darkseid Mr mxy All father Zeus Superboy prime The Batman who laughs Phantom stranger Spectre The god Wonder Woman Those are sum that come to my head
You guys always do amazing work, recap! and great story telling about these issues of comics. You guys are the future of keeping our pop culture alive!

Holy shit . This story rocks!! The only knowledge I had of the "DCeased" story line was action figures because I collect them for my man cave, but I hadn't gotten any of the DCeased line specifically.. Also I never actually read any of the DCeased or watched any videos until this. I had no idea the storyline was so awesome! Now I think I'm hooked on another DC storyline!!
Tom Taylor is probably every dc fan sick of DC's Bruce Wayne Batman and Clark Kent Superman obsession lol...this series reads like a very well written fan fiction and I love it
I’ve been addicted to these comics lately never thought I’d be into comics it first started off with the spectre now I’ve been binging on the Batman who laughs series and now these !
That's what makes Batman and Superman the perfect team for problem solving. One HOPES theres a way to win no matter what so they eventaully finds it, the other KNOWS there's a way to win no matter what they eventually finds it.
John becomes the most powerful mystic force in all of DC and still manages to look like a homeless drunk.
It's a part of his charm lol
Unkindnes Raven
That’s why they call him a hobo in Justice League action.
And he would have it no other way
Nah he’s rocking a Burberry coat in Legends of tomorrow. He can’t be bumming with that kind of coat
Doctor Fate: You are not the man to make the sacrifice play.

Constantine is so badass as he fights Trigon. He's a legend. I like him. This story definitely didn't disappoint 😃.
It was however completely silly at the end. He could have used that power up to just, you know, impale Trigon.
@@benebneb maybe, but trigon might've had such a size that it wouldn't be fatal?
DC has so many underrated characters. Constantine is one of my favourite ones.
Not as underrated as he once was, but still needs more recognition. Dude's such an interesting and complex character.
@@JWuKong95 yes he is getting his own tv show.

2. Killing an amazon drone
3. Punchin f**king Trigon!
His father would be so, so, so proud of him. 😰
When they instantly destroyed that amazo I was shocked, they both shown how skilled they are now
Jon punching Orion was funny

Constantine has always been one of my favorite DC characters. And his sacrifice was classic!
One of most underrated and still unknown to many people is Phantom Stranger.He deserves so much more ... And one of my favorites
*underrated
He needs to be lowkey, they can't make him itno another Constantine. It's the fact that no one knows who he is that makes him cool

I'm sure he doesn't want to advertise what he could get robbed for.
@@adnanterzic495 that’s a good point.
Planning a heist?
I can’t stop reading Constantine’s dialogue in his voice.
Why can’t THIS VERSION OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE BE IN FUTURE STATE?!

Honestly! Wtf happened to Damion Wayne!
@Ethan Brown i mean I do like that it was someone connected to batman but at the same time this guy has no relation to the OG batman

Constantine's schtick has always been tricking everyone around him. More often than not he gets people to defeat themselves.
Now that you mention it, he really is the magic verses version of Batman. Wow
I love Constantine, he is so well done.
Man this ending is basically fanfiction aimed at constantine fans
Can you blame us? Homeboy underrated
Yep
Just like the last 80 odd years of DC comics have been aimed squarely at Superman and Batman fans

'Did the side quests first, the rest came natural.'

I was always a huge fan of Constantine but everything DC has done with him recently has made him one of my favourite DC characters
What is funny is the fact that Constantine just walks out of the underworld later on.
It's not like he hasn't done it 2 times already.
Hats off to the artist who draws Trigon ... I get a headache just looking at his face !
I'm so sick of how op Superman, and No he can't defeat Trigon nor other cosmic beings, "stay in your lane, alien boy whose powered by the sun which is not even multiversal level".
I know right
I just read the hardcover of this... Dceased was one of my favorite series. This is one of the greatest passing of the torch stories.
This needs to be the new main story. Not feeling the current future state.

@@mikey_dh5662 they're not selling well, they might end it early
If they follow the Keanu Reeves movie, Constantine made "The Ultimate Sacrifice". He's going to "Heaven"
That movie, as good as it was, nothing to do with Constantine
Uh, yeah, this Constantine ceased to exist.
It was a pretty good movie, but I prefer the Matt ryan constantine
Lobo should raise a mug of beer for the magnificent BASTICH John Consrantine,
I totally fanboyed out. This was absolutely a great story.
Currently searching out Tom Taylor titles. Such a brilliant story. Thank you Variant for opening up comics to me in my older age.
I really enjoyed and will continue to enjoy DCeased. By far one of the best comic titles so far
