By Rich Epstein This week's Constantine opens with a hooded sorcerer speaking an ancient tongue in a deep, raspy voice when smoke appears from his hands In other words, every bad cliche of a sorcerer It's a shame, because one of the things that makes John Constantine (Matt Ryan) such a great character is that he[...]

In last nights episode of Constantine we got to meet Felix Faust (Mark Margolis) and finally got some backstory and Chaz (Charles Halford) and find out why he helps John Constantine (Matt Ryan) when we know it's not John's charming people skills Here in the latest To Hell And Back, the cast and producers talk[...]

Constantine returned on Friday night in its new 8 pm time slot… but a lot of the viewers didn't return with it The show dropped to a season low 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, bringing in around 3.8 million viewers Hopefully the Live +3 and Live +7 numbers jump significantly or the chances for[...]

If you are going to cast a character like Felix Faust, you'd do well to stick with alliteration and cast Mark Margolis… and that is exactly what the producers of Constantine have done The Breaking Bad alum will play the magician who normally goes up against the Justice League, but more recently has had dealings with[...]

Constantine (NBC) Finally a comic-based series that actually stays close to the dark and gritty source material (as opposed to just waving hello at it from time to time) Arrow and Flash are fine in their own way, but they don't have much in the way of teeth, and Constantine doesn't hold back from killing characters[...]

Just because Constantine is on break doesn't meant NBC doesn't want you thinking about it They have released a new To Hell And Back featurette This one focuses on The Mill House – not Bart Simpons' nerdy friend, but the occult / supernatural filled base of operations that John Constantine has been using as a[...]

And it looks like Batgirl's new Burnside look hasn't been welcomed by everyone… That's the closest we're going to get to see Thor's real face for some time I'm thinking.
