Editorial Comments

Product Description:
John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background.Hes a hero of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery and genuine magical skill. In this volume, written by fan-favorite Andy Diggle, Constantine discovers that there is a supernatural cause for the violence, crime and drug abuse of South London's Hunger Hill housing estate.Its up to him to bring this cycle of misery and violence to an end at any cost.

4 out of 5 starsA new take on Constantine
Andy Diggle's much anticipated debut on Hellblazer is a mixed bag. This collection is a compilation of 3 shorter stories. Unfortunately, when trades use this approach instead of one complete arc, inconsistencies in quality can occur, and that is somewhat the case here. The first half of the book is the better of the two, with the closing 4 issue story being a bit too earthbound for an Hellblazer tale and thus lacking the supernatural thrills and chills that we have come to expect from it. At its' best, Hellblazer takes one on a ghoulish journey through the bowels of Hell itself, a hair raising, gut wrenching, fist clenching, edge of your seat roller coaster ride from which one may never return. Diggle is certainly a top notch talent and a welcome and qualified addition to the impressive pantheon of writers that have worked on this character. His "voice" for Constantine was slightly different from Mike Carey's, whose recent lengthy run was one of my favorites, and took a while to adjust to, but that is to be expected. In contrast to Carey's and other writers' runs, this take may be a bit too staid, lacking the over the top mayhem and madness that is a feature of this book. With Diggle I expected magic, with a bit of sorcery and necromancy thrown in for good measure, and while this is still a quality read, it does not quite compare to previous volumes.
