There is plenty.

The biggest difference between the comics and the movie was that the comic Constantine usually outsmarts the demons. He doesn't just have a gun he can shoot them with.

Movie Constantine was better looking.

Well if there's plenty, I sure didn't see any. I think you should just give me the exciting issues and then fill me in on any questions I have.

Well, I'll have to re-read some and figure out what might be good for you...
 
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

Over the years, CONSTANTINE seems like it has this kind of cult following...which has been great, it's been embraced, and it would be great to figure out a sequel. And if we did, and we've been trying to figure one out, it would be great to do the really, dark scary...we got caught in that weird PG-13 R no man's land...and we should do the hard R, scary version, which I would love to do"

I am split. As a fan of Constantine(the comic version) the movie was a hot mess. But if you disassociate the comic from the movie it wasn't half bad. Keanu was horribly miscast though. Guy Pearce could pull it off...maybe.
 
Jay Baruchel To Adapt Image’s Random Acts Of Violence And Tell Untrue Tales Of The Exorcist Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Random Acts is the blood-soaked story of two comic creators and their ultimate horror character Slasherman creation gone very wrong. The creators start to see success flowing like a river, but when that river turns bloody and people start dying in the midst of a signing tour, it becomes clear that their creation has taken a life of its own.

as always, if you have read the source material...weigh in. Is it good? I kinda like Baruchel...he comes off as a geek's geek.

Hey Doc...as much as you hate Brightest Day or whatever the current attempt to get suckers to buy all tie ins...

What about?

Comic Review: Green Lantern #65 | Geeks of Doom

I am reading that the 'bad penny' GL Guy Gardener is involved. Should I spend good pennies on this?
Click to expand...

No. Guy Gardener came back the same time Hal Jordan did and has been in some of the best Green Lantern stories since then.

Check out "To Be A Lantern"...

But the **** they're doing now? No. Avoid it like the plague.
