What unfolds is a social commentary on our culture’s negative attitudes toward marginalized groups. As its citizens begin to cope with their predicament, multiple outside pressures make their lives even more difficult. POSSIBLE AUDIENCE: Fans of John Constantine will want to give Constantine: The Hellblazer a try.Issue #109 of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES hits stores on Wednesday, September 9th, bringing readers to the heart of Mutant Town-the freshly irradiated suburb of New York. I plan on giving Constantine: The Hellblazer at least one entire story arc.
I gave up on Constantine after about four issues. Ming Doyle and James Tynion IV strike the right tone by recalling John's troubled past while offering to take John and their readers to new and imaginative places. For one thing, Riley Rossmo's scratchy compositions strikes an odd tone, making Constantine: The Hellblazer #1 at least visually different from all other DC Comics. Still, there is something about this new series – something upon which I cannot put my finger – that makes it. Of course, neither one thrilled me as much as Hellblazer #1 did almost three decades ago. THE LOWDOWN: I like Constantine: The Hellblazer #1 and have better feelings about it than I did about Constantine #1. She says that the place has an imp infestation that only John can solve, and, no, it won't be that easy. Blythe has an ownership interest in “ Inferno,” a club slash lounge slash art-house theater of some sort. acquaintance reappears she is Blythe, an ex-patriot from Hell who has also been an occasional shag-buddy of John's. Another thing that is the same-old-same-old is the ghost of Gary Lester, one of John's many friends who have paid the ultimate cost for being a friend of Constantine's. I must say that, at least with this first issue, John seems to be getting back to his old self.Ĭonstantine: The Hellblazer #1 (“Going Down”) opens with John trying to clean up after his latest bloody mess. One of them is Constantine: The Hellblazer, which is written by Ming Doyle and James Tynion IV, drawn by Riley Rossmo, colored by Ivan Plascensia, and lettered by Tom Napolitano. Our favorite comic book occult detective, magus, and troubleshooter was not the same.ĭC's latest publishing initiative/event is “DCYou,” which is being launched with 25 new #1 issues. Then, DC Comics folded Constantine into the mainstream DC Universe with The New 52, and started a new series, simply entitled Constantine. The original John Constantine comic book series, Hellblazer, ran for 300 issues.
