I really like Jamie Delano's writing. From Captain Britain to John Constantne: Hellblazer to Animal Man to Outlaw Nation to 2020 Visions to Crossed Badlands to Necropolis to Rawbone, he's a comic book writer whose work I have been very happy to follow. It's just, he's not writing comics at the moment. He's a novelist and a […]
It's a not-bad way to judge which DC You titles exceeded expectations… Constantine: The Hellblazer #1 by Ming Doyle, James Tynion IV and Riley Rossmo… Starfire #1 by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy… and We Are Robin by Lee Bermejo, Jorge Corona and Khary Randolph have all sold out from Diamond […]
Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, writes: Hey Fandom, I'm back with another stack of New Comics Now! Last Tuesday my son, Justice, was born. I spent the last seven days just overwhelmed with his cuteness. First, I couldn't help but mention my three favorite DC You books from last week; Constantine: […]
A run around a few creative changes in books from DC Comics out today, flipping from solicitation to publication… Arrow Season 2.5 #9 solicited as written by just Marc Guggenhem had Brian Ford Sullivan added. Constantine: The Hellblazer #1, solicited as written by just Ming Doyle had James Tynion IV added. Injustice: Gods Among Us […]
Today's Justice United short story from some unidentified DC Comic book features a look around the whole DCU picking up folk who could be in the new Justice League United, at some point, who give their blessing to be called when necessary. And the last page gives a splash on all the folks who can […]
John Constantine, when introduced into the DC Universe, was a rare creature. One who aged in real time. Since his introduction in the early eighties, he went on to get old. To celebrate his birthdays. And to marry someone far too young. His time on this earth was marked, including his time as a punk […]

It's come to define the character. John Constantine, wide boy occultist, smoking a cigarette, lighting up the creases of his trenchcoat. But not any more. DC have taken away his years, taken away the politics, taken away his bisexuality and now they have come for his coat. From a press jolly between DC and their […]
So I write this recently. About how there were four books from the June mini-relaunch that I was really excited about, but seemed not to be lighting the fanbase on fire. Prez, Doomed, Mystic U and Section 8. So, since I was watching the InStore Comic Convention Kickoff, and Dan DiDio was on the screen, […]
For some people the Constantine comic just isn't the same without it being called Hellblazer. Okay there are probably other things too. But this may mark a start in getting closer to the feel of the original series, while still staying within the DC Universe. Ming Doyle, artist on Vertigo's The Kitchen is joining Riley […]
Over on DC Entertainment's website, they posted this video with the cast and crew of the NBC series Constantine talking about the Hellblazer comic book and going from the source material to live action. I also wanted to remind folks that Constantine has not been cancelled, only stopped after the first 13 episodes so the […]
Adi Tantimedh writes, Last week was interesting for John Constantine in the media. Just as the NBC TV series was placed on hiatus with no further episodes being produced after the initial order of 13, a low-budget fan film was released on the web that created a bit of a buzz.

On Friday the cast and crew of NBC's Constantine were told that the production will be stopped after the initial 13 episode order that it received. But the series is not cancelled and is in strong contention for a second season. The show has been gaining audiences since its initial airing with it being up […]
In their To Hell and Back segments, the producers of Constantine go behind the scenes of the latest episode with interviews. This week focuses on A Feast of Friends as we meet Gary Lester from the Newcastle Crew and the hunger demon he tried to capture in a bottle. The particular episode, written by Cameron […]
We haven't heard too much from Karen Berger since she left DC Comics, where she had worked for decades, running the Vertigo imprint and forming it in her own image. And she had been at the birth of John Constantine in Swamp Thing. So when Slate published an article about the state of the character […]
NBC has put out an extended sneak peek at their new series Constantine that premieres this Friday. The series stars Matt Ryan (Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) as the titular anti-hero made popular in the DC / Vertigo comic series Hellblazer. Like some of the other comic book based series to debut this season, Constantine had […]
After the pilot was made for Constantine, some changes were made that included replacing the character of Liv (Lucy Griffiths) with a character from the comics Zed (Angélica Celaya) who is John Constantine's former lover. Having seen the pilot, am looking forward to the change as I just didn't think Liv fit into the Hellblazer universe… […]
NBC has released a first look at the premiere of their new series Constantine based on the DC Entertainment comic Hellblazer. Matt Ryan (Constantine) and executive producers David Goyer and Daniel Cerone break down who Constantine is and how he may not be likable, but some times he's exactly who you need. Constantine will air […]
Just as they have already done with Flash and Green Arrow ahead of their upcoming TV shows, DC Comics is rush-soliciting a 64 page $1 Constantine #1: Special Edition. The dollar comic will reprint the DC New 52 Constantine #1 as well as the original Hellblazer #1 as a flip book. So people can decide, I […]
[ *This is a spin-off "Special Hidden Bonus Track" from Thor's Comic Review Column on 8/25/14 in the form of discussion between two of our Thor reviewers who found that a 22 page comic could spawn 4,000 words and more, most likely.] By Adam X. Smith and Joe Colewood [*As you might suspect, SPOILERS for […]
