I miss when they drew women as hot as their cosplayer counterparts.
Writers like him more than Zatanna. Simple as that. She was pretty much his glorified armcandy at one point. Also another thing I've noticed about Constantine is that writers always go out of their way to have him shade and shit on Dr Fate whenever they appear together. I wonder why
David Nakayama variant cover for Dark Crisis #4:

Yeah favoritism makes sense. Constantine is one of those characters where it seems like writers always go out of their way to include him and write about. Tom Taylor certainly takes any and every opportunity opportunity to write about Constantine same as with Harley Quinn. Swamp-Thing: Green Hell by Jeff Lemire also has Constantine as the last hero on Earth and the plot magic guy who brings back Swampy so he can save the day.
Shitting on Fade I assume is cause they regard Fate as the "stuffy old fart authority guy" while Constantine is the "young cool snarky rebel guy".
"Zatanna will have a huge part in issue one".
I hope Waid doesn't shit on others to prop up the Bats.

This sould be the main basis on how writers write Zatanna and Constantine
It's just so blatantly greedy for Constantine to hug all the spotlight. He now become the sole brain for DC magic while the writers now wank him to become "Heckblazer" with pew pew magic that already filled with Zatanna, Dr. Fate and the others. Not just them, the whole magic folks now just massacred or turned to be cannon fodder for Constantine, alone to rise. If there are Ragman stans, I'm sure they would be very angry. Miss the old day when every magic users got their fair share of cool moments or die honorably
Thanks.
Yeah, I've been in fandom long enough to know how bad shippers can be. That said, Tumblr still takes it on another level.
Zatanna has almost always been paired with the writers favorite male character; Batman, Dick Grayson and even Blue Devil during her guest appearance in his title. Constantine is no exception. But in his case he is also magic based, already had a following from Hellblazer and was tied to a significant event in her life (the death of John Zatara). Unfortunately, the pairing has also been corrosive for her character as it has lead to the undercutting of her role as the 'magic specialist' in the DCU as well as cutting down her knowledge, powers and even agency as a character just so John could still play a role.
Everyday Magic. Probably the only good JohnZee content, they weren't written as a couple there but they were believable as colleagues and friends. It's also one of the rare times Zatanna saves Constantine instead of the other way around and her knowledge of magic is shown to be better than his.
That sucks.
Is it for Dark Crisis #4? I saw that earlier and Nakayam's post doesn't say which book it is for. It could be the variant cover for the YJ tie in to Dark Crisis which also has the Zatanna back up in it.
He may have more nuance in his solo title but as one of the posters on here said, he is basically 'Magic Batman' now.
You know how creators like to wank bad ass normal characters like Batman by showing them defeating God like beings? Well, that's John now for the magic side of the DCU. Everyone else is portrayed less competent and less knowledgeable just so he can look cool.
