In vertigo hellblazer you could see his mental state change and waver. And that would cause a change in his appearance. I feel like nowadays he always looks like a mess and wears the same red tie all the time.
For me it would be
• to be set it London ( bare minimum)
• have the inclusion of English politics
• have John not do flashy magic
• inner monologue from John
And for things that I would like ( personal preference)
• to be animation
• be set in the late 80s
• show the blue suit with earring for at least a little bit
• be in a show format
I don't want to seem like a negative Nancy so I'm gonna talk about my favorite hellblazer lol
Family man - one of the best arcs for John , I think it really shows what I love about John and his stories . A story about finding a murder has the same weight as saving the world
Return to ravenscar- I just really enjoy how ravenscar is depicted here and the resolution for John's traumas , art is great too
Critical mass - I really didn't enjoy how ennises run wrapped up , so this felt like the conclusion his run should have had
Dead boys heart( and the issue previous )- this is my favorite hellblazer issue of all time , it's the first I ever bought physically , the exploration on John as a character made him one of my favorite characters of all time ( I could talk more but I don't wanna yap too much )
Empathy is the enemy- I know a lot of people don't care much for Mina's run but I think her writing for John is up there in some of my favorite , also the plot was very morrison like confusing but intresting
Hellblazer special - some of ennises best writing a very empathetic look at a very serious issue ( that ennis takes too lightly in my opinion some time ) but god this story is heartbreaking
The unicorn and mermaid stuff from spurriers run( don't remember the proper name of the stories ) -just really solid story's for John , the epitome of a good hellblazer story . Good stuff wish more modern John stories were like this
Dangerous habits - I mean yeah it's the definitive Hellblazer story . Also really human look at John , some of favorite parts are him in the hospital with the old man
Honorable mention the horrorist
Anyways tell me your favorite hellblazer stories !
Constantine isn't technically hellblazer but it's there for what it stands for
Also size of images does not mean I hate them less or more
