Well, as Reeves so pithily explained, "I'm not English, and I'm not blonde." During production, they experimented with wigs and accents but finally decided to just make this a different take[...]

Comic book author of DCeased Tom Taylor posted the following news on Twitter concerning a new Hellblazer series. Announcing HELLBLAZER: RISE & FALL! I'm teaming with my good mate and superstar artist @DarickR (THE BOYS, TRANSMETROPOLITAN) on a Black Label series for @DCComics We've been working on this in secret for a long time, and it's[...]

But this issue of John Constantine: Hellblazer #6 dealing with a preponderance of mystery deaths in a hospital, suffering under pressure is sadly as relevant now as it would have been back in April But it also gets a lot more relevant due to being published this week. It has been mentioned that writer Si Spurrier[...]

This week saw a most excellent issue of John Constantine: Hellblazer #5 from Si Spurrier and Matias Bergara It's an excellent issue that, due to coronavirus greatly impacting all aspects of comic distribution, many stores in Britain get copies of.  As Britain celebrated the work of doctors, nurses and other staff of the NHS with[...]

The current John Constantine: Hellblazer series has been a breath of fresh air, and today's #3 makes for quite the jumping on point Constantine has been away, see, messing with the superheroes, the Justice Leagues, the Heroes Of Tomorrow, and Britain has gone to pot a bit But there are those who have taken up the[...]

This is a shining example of what comics can be, and what they hardly ever are. John Constantine: Hellblazer 1-3 by Si Spurrier, Aaron Campbell, Jordie Bellaire, and Aditya Bidikar: The much heralded return of proper Hellblazer, which includes copious British slang, a pub, a tan trench coat, smoking, and a loose political connection with the[...]

Bleeding Cool understands that Doctor Manhattan's "influence" will be mentioned in the upcoming Death Metal and Crisis events (which aren't the same thing) but that's all you'll be getting on that score. After all, if 5G is ageing up all the main characters, then why spend the next year reintegrating them into the DCU when the[...]

John Constantine of Hellblazer fame was initially modelled on Sting Something that Lee Bermejo seemed to recall in the recent Batman: Damned series. In issue 1 of the new Hellblazer we got a look at a lot of John Constantines across realities, including those who looked like Keanu Reeves. But the cover of the second issue of[...]

And Hellblazer does always like to look at those in power, or whatever political stripe, and the deals done to get them there Former Prime Minister-but-one David Cameron had a certain story about him that made the headlines, erroneous or not, about his young days as a student and a certain pigs head And in[...]

DC's Hellblazer relaunch kicks into full gear tomorrow as John Constantine: Hellblazer #1 launches, by Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell, picking up from the Sandman Universe: Hellblazer Special that established a new status quo for a mature content Constantine Sadly, mature content doesn't go over as well for Constantine himself as this preview of tomorrow's[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool looked at the new John Constantine comic written by Si Spurrier, kicking off the new run of Sandman Presents comic books, We enjoyed its introduction of new swearword to DC Comics' lexicon, the appearance of Keanu Reeves in a litany of other versions of the characters and an address that seemed directed[...]

Earlier, we looked at how today's Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer brought a new swear word to the DC Universe But it may be bringing a far more insidious beast to the Sandman world That of the dreaded continuity Of contflapsinuity as we should all now call it. As Si Spurrier  Marcio Takara and Cris Peter kickstart the new wave[...]

Although, Garth Ennis did once point out that DC was happy to publish a series called The Kents, which in a certain accent is indistinguishable. It is also worth pointing out that in British/Irish vernacular, that while one of the most-offensive words used, it's not a gendered form of insult as it is in the USA,[...]

Which, today, includes a new Omnibus volume collecting all of Garth Ennis' Hellblazer comic books As influential on the character as Alan Moore and Jamie Delano, it also preceded his work on Preacher, with relations between of angels and demons, and also teaming up with Steve Dillon too. Published on April 21st 2020, here's the listing: Written[...]

Starting in October with Sandman Universe Presents Hellblazer #1, Constantine will pull a magic trick of having two number one issues in a row as a new John Constantine, Hellblazer series launches the next month.
