Hellblazer by Garth Ennis Omnibus

Product Information

Note: John Constantine, Hellblazer ended after 13 issues, cancelled due to low single issue sales in 2021. (The series has always performed much better in collected formats.) In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. The five star rating is largely a sentimental one as this is still my favourite run of John Constantine stories. I’d almost forgotten the streak of pure Irish sentimentality that tempered the dark humour and caustic cynicism of Garth Ennis’ early work. CONSTANTINE, THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 1: GOING DOWN".

JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 24: SECTIONED". DC Comics. 26 January 2021 . Retrieved March 16, 2021. Honestly loved it until about halfway through. (The vampire stuff) After that the run started to drag and felt like it wouldn’t end. I’ve loved most of Ennis’ work since I read Preacher in high school but man he is really hit or miss. Hellblazer was set in a contemporary world, albeit a world of magic and supernatural conflict behind the scenes. [9] Although the official setting of the series was the DC Universe, well-known DC characters were rarely seen or mentioned. [10] However, some DC Comics characters–most notably the fringe supernatural characters such as Zatanna, the Phantom Stranger, Shade, the Changing Man, Dream of the Endless, and the Swamp Thing–made appearances. a b Vaneta Rogers (9 June 2011). "Justice League Dark interview with Peter Milligan". Newsarama. Archived from the original on 21 September 2013.Not really been a fan of Dillon's art. It actually looks better to me here than his later stuff, like on the Punisher. It has more of a detailed, grimy, sketchy look which adds to the ambience of the story, and I appreciate it much more. I also had a completely different expectation of what this was going to be like. Having only read John in other books, and usually as a supporting character, I didn't know much about him. Expectations were a lot of magic and monsters, not at the Doctor Strange level, but some. There's actually very little, most of it is at the beginning, then the repercussions come at the end. In the middle, it's mostly stories about his everyday life, his friends and the trouble they get into, life in the UK. All of which is interesting because it helps to round out just who John is. Constantine is found in most Swamp Thing collections from volume 3, The Curse. He appears in every subsequent volume of the 1985 series and in volume 1, Bad Seed, of the 2004 series.

Major storylines in this run include "Critical Mass", where Constantine is forced to use magic to purge his darker side into another human body, to avoid being damned to Hell as part of a trade to save the possessed son of a friend, thus creating the antagonistic character, Demon Constantine, with the assistance of Aleister Crowley. [32] The landmark hundredth issue gave more detail on John Constantine's father, and the abusive relationship that they had shared. However, it is unclear as to whether this is happening in reality, or in his mind as John convalesces in a coma. [33] "Last Man Standing" reveals that his friend Rich is the current descendant of King Arthur, and Merlin's attempt to discover God's secret, an act which would destroy England, using John's few remaining friends as bait. [34] Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.
