Constantine #23

John Constantine raises a glass of amber liquor toward the viewer — cigarette dangling from his lips, gun in his other hand, trenchcoat rumpled — while two figures reflected in the glass watch silently from a doorway behind him. The title "A Salute to the Dead and Dying" sets a mood that is equal parts weary and defiant, and Juan Ferreyra's cover art captures Constantine's trademark mix of cool confidence and barely-concealed danger beautifully. It's a quietly gripping image to close out this New 52 run, written by Ray Fawkes with art by Jeremy Haun and colors by the Hories.
