Meh. John heads back to London and pulls the ol' one two over the current demonic establishment. The hi-jinks was childish and Tom Sawyer like - very see through and predictable. The lessons learned were ... not. They destroyed the concept behind Mucas Membranes and made it stupid. But he is back to his British roots. So that's... something. I'm hoping this is just a gauge to see if people are interested in our favorite trench-coat wearing demonologist. Here is hoping for better storylines in th...
Very entertaining book. The art style matches the story perfectly.
This run starts pretty weak. Unimaginative situations that seems to happen just to push the plot ahead, poor dialogue and a mystery not at all interesting or important.
I have never read a Constantine comic before. My only brushings with Constantine come from the Keanu Reeves movie and the tv show that was cancelled way before it should have been. As it is, I loved both of these versions of Constantine. This Constantine I cared a little less for. He spends too much time flirting, and it spends too much time pushing his sex partners, that when he does something brilliant at the end it sort of is underwhelming in the face of pushing that this is a dark character
Not a very good start. The art isn't my cup of tea, the dialogue isn't that great, and the descent through the circles feels like it last forever, which might be the intention.
Considering DC's last attempt at Constantine, I'm not really sure how I feel about this yet. I liked it (not so much his pants the fuck are those John?!) but I'm not going to let myself go crazy just yet because not getting my hopes up.I like that there are some familiar faces in this though. Now just give me Chas and Gemma and Zed (yes, I know she is technically only a minor character but she is awesome okay - ignoring the whole pagan queen, dragon baby stuff because WHAT IS IT I DO NOT UNDERST...
Classic Constantine, with art that is interesting and beautiful all at once. I'm intrigued by the story so far.
Love the art style.
Really about 2.5 stars. Constantine gets pulled into a soul-stealing scam by an old demon “friend.” This was okay, but nothing really awesome or special. Some amusing bits and there’s a subplot, or the next story that is sort of intriguing. The artwork is also a bit dodgy – not as bad as Gotham By Midnight, but also not great. This didn't really hold my attention well. Not sure if this will be long for my list.
Solid #1 from the new Constantine. I liked the showing of the levels of hell in the club. I hope the break of standard comic book framing continental with the series.
I'm still working my way through the Vertigo run of Hellblazer, but I found this to be a fun, engaging, and altogether sort of surreal read. Really, it's a bizarre start to a run, but I certainly enjoyed it for the fun that it was.
It was interesting and ended very well. Still, it was slow to get going and there could have been more substance to it overall. Since it was a #1, I expect more to happen going forward.
In this new run of working-class Scouser warlock John Constantine's misadventures, the word 'Hellblazer''s presence in the title not only returns, but the edge that made Constantine so great (somewhat lost during the New 52 run ) returns as well. It brings back the punk rock ethos the original comics had, and this punk rock ethos has caught up to where punk rock itself has come today, which in itself makes this worth five stars. John's bisexuality is established early along with his chain-smokin...
This was rough for me. I love LOVE Ming Doyle, but the story was a little all over the place and well, it started in the USA so that was already a bit... un-Constantine. At the end of the second single he's headed across the pond, so here's to hoping getting back to his roots gets me a little more into this version of the Hellblazer.
Definitely a must-read for anyone upset the television show was cancelled. This relaunch addresses Constantine's drinking, smoking, sexuality, and attitude right in the opening pages. Also, there was some great artwork, including this double-page segment where Constantine is being led down through the floors of a club imitating Dante's vision of hell:
Contantine travels through the levels of a dark club, turning the tables on the demon who brought him there.
This is neither the Constantine that I was finally getting used to in Justice League Dark nor the John from his Vertigo series. But, looks like his hedonistic sexual nature is back and no mention of Zed/Zatanna so maybe he'll get more raw as the series continues.
I've never read a Constantine title but this certainly isn't what I was expecting - and that's a very good thing. The art is lovely, with a lighter, airy feel and colours that have little to no black, instead using purples and blues for darker areas.John Constantine is likable. That surprised me. What also surprised me is how much I can relate to him. He's a shamelessly bisexual Barney Stinson who casually dispatches demons and converses with ghosts. And my goodness, is it ever refreshing!I am S...
An excellent new beginning and return to form for John Constantine. Rossmo's art is the star of this first issue, but the story is engaging and makes me excited for the next issue. Bloody brilliant.
