John Constantine Remembers The Justice League – And Dying (Spoilers)

John Constantine has died in a number of ways over the decades, and has managed to cheat it almost every time. In Hellblazer #300, he had his life taken away, turned into an old man, without his demon blood, without his magic, and a very different life lived.

That was totally ignored by the superhero comics, who had the much younger John Constantine join the Justice League Dark – and last week, meet with another sticky end. Albeit it one with a smile.

In Hellblazer #10, published today, Si Spurrier, Matias Bergara and Jordie Bellaire show one of those histories. Including Constantine's death.

Maybe not. But the pub they go to looks rather familiar.

The specter of his older self (and the terrible bargain he made to get another chance at life) has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with John Constantine for months now – but now the game is over, and it's time to get down to business. Namely, the business of destroying absolutely everything that made that second lease on life worth living…In Shops: Sep 30 2020 SRP: $3.99
