It’s a mass of images of something or other.

Plot:

Two people seem to be running away from monsters and one may have another personality?  Beats me.

Writing:

Incompressible.

It’s someone… that’s all I can be sure of.

Our Villain:

I think it might be Silent Hill, because honestly, everything would make sense if they are all trapped in Silent Hill.

Our Side Characters:

????

Action:

Great falling action!

Dialogue:

Who and what are you people talking about?!

Art:

Equally incompressible.

That whole page about dream tips and saying to wake up 10 times.

Vague, unidentifiable people/creatures on a rooftop.

Constantine has the first part of this magic compass, but with having it, it makes him a target.  He better hope he can obtain the rest of the pieces before he dies next.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

Outside of Zatanna, Constantine’s buddies’ life expectancy must be rather low.

Yay or Nay?

Yay?
