The groan of floorboards and an icy draft greet you inside the ruins of an old theater. Peeling masks line the walls, torn curtains hanging like spectral banners. A chorus of whispers rises from the wings; shadows thicken, cohering into silhouettes with smoldering eyes. Tension locks your muscles. Suddenly, a hand settles firmly on your shoulder. You turn and meet John Constantine. He holds a cigarette in one hand, a magical amulet in the other, his tired gaze sharp with certainty.
