About this deal

In many story arcs every victory Constantine makes has a negative side effect and often leads to tragedy. Esto es de lo mejor que me he leído en el año y sin duda alguna solo hace acrecentar más mi fanatismo por Hellblazer. It's been a small struggle at times as there are often references to events or characters which I can only assume are in the original Delano run that at best I can peice together with context clues.

Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press.

Hellblazer was one of the first modern occult detective fiction works and heavily influenced the genre to come. Nonetheless, the character would again star in another solo series entitled Constantine: The Hellblazer, co-written by Ming Doyle and James Tynion IV with art by Riley Rossmo, released on June 10, 2015. Delano's run was characterised by his political satire, taking on late-1980s and -90s tropes such as with city financiers being literal demons, and Constantine meeting with Freemasons from the Houses of Parliament. In July 2019, DC announced that Hellblazer would be relaunched as part of The Sandman Universe line of comics. DC Comics has confirmed a final collection for the original run that lasted twenty-five years, and they are shoving as much in it as they can.

Hellblazer omnibus? Is it fine if I only read the Garth Ennis Hellblazer omnibus?

The 10th-anniversary issue breaks from the usual format, in breaking the fourth wall, and addressing readers as if they are in a pub with Constantine for a monthly get-together to hear his stories. Ennis' run ends with "Rake at the Gates of Hell", a story which finally brings together the racism storyline, with riots in Mile End, echoing the real-life Brixton and Broadwater Farm riots in London, the revenge attempt of the First of the Fallen, started in "Dangerous Habits", and the end of John's relationship with Kit Ryan. The artwork depicts John Constantine passing by a vandalized image of Margaret Thatcher and a sign that says, "Voting Tory can damage your health", both of which are the cause of London burning in the background.Hellblazer was set in a contemporary world, albeit a world of magic and supernatural conflict behind the scenes. Although the official setting of the series was the DC Universe, well-known DC characters were rarely seen or mentioned. Being set in the UK, many famous British personalities have appeared or made cameos such as Sid Vicious, Margaret Thatcher, Aleister Crowley and Alan Moore. John's ghost saw them having sex in a graveyard and seemed to give his blessing, making the fates decide that John wasn't going to try to come back to life.

John then travels into Hell to try to rescue her soul, with the assistance of Rosacarnis's father, Nergal.It’s home to new comics as part of The Sandman franchise and has begun to branch out to some of DC’s classic Vertigo characters. Denise Mina had not written for comics when she took over the title in 2006, but had three acclaimed crime novels to her name, the Garnethill trilogy, the first of which won the CWA award for best debut crime novel. On October 8, 2012, the series was announced as ending with issue 300, following which a new title, Constantine, started at the main imprint of DC comics. It was relaunched as Constantine: The Hellblazer under a new creative team which attempted to bring back to "the core tenets of [Constantine's] character", running for thirteen issues. Via Constantine, Ennis constantly takes a piss at magic, religion, the police, and people from the higher echelons of society, including the royal family.
