John Constantine is a character who’s been getting a push into the mainstream over the last few years in both comics and outside media. For those who were introduced to Constantine through the short-lived eponymous television on NBC, they’ll certainly be delighted to hear that actor Matt Ryan reprises the occult detective in the Constantine: City of Demons animated feature now available.

Just in time for the Halloween, City of Demons premiered last week as part of New York Comic Con with a sold-out 2,200-seat panel on NYCC’s Main Stage, and a packed-house world premiere at the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square.

A decade after a tragic mistake, family man Chas and occult detective John Constantine set out to cure Chas’s daughter Trish from a mysterious supernatural coma. With the help of themysterious Nightmare Nurse, the influential Queen of Angels, and brutal Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli, the pair just might have a chance at outsmarting the demon Beroul to save Trish’s soul. In a world of shadows and dark magic, not everything is what it seems, and there’s always a price to pay. The path to redemption is never easy, and if Constantine is to succeed, he must navigate through the dark urban underbelly of Los Angeles, outwit the most cunning spawns of hell, and come face to face with arch-nemesis Nergal – all while battling his own inner demons!

Constantine: City of Demons has been produced in a dual format – initially as animated shorts, the first five of which appeared on CW Seed. With a runtime of 90 minutes, the feature-length Constantine: City of Demons film has over an hour of never-before-seen content including the film’s thrilling climax.
