The Newcastle tragedy with Astra is from the Hellblazer comic, the scene written by Jamie Delano and drawn by Richard Piers Rayner, here faithfully adapted but with a contemporary Johanna Constantine instead of John Why else would they cast the brilliant Meera Syal as a gender-flipped Ric the Vicar who's Constantine's conduit to the Church[...]

Hellblazer: Rise and Fall #3 Cover Credit: DC Black Label Tom Taylor has written a finale[...]

Bleeding Cool has mocked comic book writer Tom Taylor and artist Darick Robertson for their Hellblazer: Rise And Fall mini-series for DC Comics' Black Label Specifically for the decision to portray British police carrying handguns as a matter of course With Tom Taylor's reason that he simply didn't realise that they didn't And that it's[...]

It really is the most peculiar thing. A kid's graphic novel starring one John Constantine, and written by the amazing Squirrel Girl and Romeo And/Or

A late-night Hellblazer post It is possible that people have other things on their mind right now But I can't get this out of my head so you will have to suffer too Now, most British police officers are not routinely armed Those that are, are usually on security detail at highly sensitive places such[...]

Call in Matt Ryan because Hellblazer: Rise And Fall #2 has every bit of that clumsy, ruthless John Constantine charm that the actor made perfect on television series With some unexpected partners for the "self-styled Hellblazer" and a lot of old business left unresolved, this issue hits many of the right buttons.
