r/Hellblazer

hello, is there any current series or on-going series with John in it? i am a regular comic reader, however i have taken a short break from comics due to having several books on the go. i have read up to Dead in America and finished it.

Thanks!

If John never discovered magic where do you think he'd be ? In my opinion, probably dead or some sort of musician

Hi, I am new to the hellblazer universe and I am a bit confused about rise & fall version of Lucifer. I know it is a one-shot so its adaptation is not really linked to the continuity but in it, the characters of Lucifer seem to be both referred to as Lucifer Morningstar and as the First of the fallen. My understanding in canon (new here so I might be wrong) was that these two were different characters. Should I consider the rise and fall version as a completely different one? ( If so, what is his history with Constantine? The one of the first? The one of Lucifer?) Or is he merely an alternate version of one of the other two?

Thanks for your answers!

I rewatched Constantine recently and I genuinely love everything about its atmosphere. It has this dark, supernatural, almost gothic feeling that very few movies manage to capture, and its version of Hell is still one of my favorites.

Keanu’s Constantine, Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Lucifer are such a perfect combination.

I know it’s very different from Hellblazer, but as its own movie I think it has so much personality.
What do you guys think of it?

If John Constantine had to permanently get rid of each of these, who would give him the most trouble?

Dracula (any version counts)
Lucian (Underworld)
Any vampire from The Vampire Diaries
Pennywise / IT
The Darkling (Shadow and Bone)
Michael Myers
Crowley (Supernatural)
Samara Morgan

Not just who would beat him in a straight fight. Constantine rarely plays fair anyway. I mean who would be the hardest for him to actually kill or permanently get rid of using magic, rituals, manipulation, deals, loopholes, etc.
And how do you think he’d deal with each one?

Hey all - just wanted to post a link to my recent podcast episode where I discuss HELLBLAZER #62 by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon with Austin English of Domino Books. It’s available in an audio-only version via your favorite podcast app, or as a video on YouTube.

Austin and I have a wide-ranging conversation about all kinds of things, including the dawn of Vertigo, comics activism, the empathetic nature of Garth Ennis comics, the storytelling prowess of Steve Dillon, and early AIDS awareness efforts in comics form.

Not every episode of the pod is about Hellblazer, but figured this was the best spot to post about this one. 🤓 Hope you like it!
