If menus around the world are the be believed, the forests of Germany are a culinary wonderland, chock a block with rich chocolate cakes and sumptuous hams. If the Brothers Grimm are to be believed, they’re a woodland hellhole teeming with cautionary tales, dead kids, and demonic creatures. Unfortunately, for John Constantine, it seems that he’s in the latter of the two forests and he’s locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse with assassins from the Cult of the Cold Flame. Will Constantine be able to find the mystic healer he’s searching for or will the Stained Claw get to him first? Find out in our exclusive preview of DC Comics’ Constantine #16 by Ray Fawkes, Jay Leisten, and Edgar Salazar.
