Today's Hellblazer #1 does a fine job throwing shade on the previous New 52 version of John Constantine as writer Simon Oliver says that his time in New York was "like being a different person entirely".
Still, it does get us to reunite two lovelies.
John Constantine and Swamp Thing, who first encountered each other way back in the eighties in Swamp Thing #37. Wherein Constantine told Swamp Thing what he was and what he could actually do with his abilities that he hadn't even considered.
A waste of time? Back to New York again, John? Well yes, in Sixpack & Dogwelder #1, we see John again, in the shadows, having a conversation with Dogwelder. As Garth Ennis, who wrote an Essential John Constantine, takes the opportunity to both parody that Swamp Thing relationship, give Dogwelder an ancient legacy and parodies the language patterns that people use when writing Constantine… He does hate to waste his time.
Hellblazer #1 by Simon Oliver and Moritat is published today, as is Six-Pack & Dogwelder #1 by Garth Ennis and Russ Braun. Swamp Thing #37 can be found for too much money on eBay.
