To be honest, John Constantine's membership of Justice League Dark from DC Comics, seeing him operating out of the Hall of Justice alongside the likes of Wonder Woman and Doctor Fate always looked a bit weird He is John Constantine after all, which is why his recent return to London in the Sandman Presents series[...]
We've been working on this in secret for a long time, and it's bloody magic!

And while yesterday's Hellblazer: John Constantine #6 was condensing the very best of Hellblazer into one issue, Justice League Dark #22 by Ram V, James Tynion IV, Alvaro Martinez Bueno, Amancay Nahuelpan, Raul Fernandez, June Chung and Rob Leigh had Constantine revisit his Swamp Thing roots – and break down reality.
Constantine Can See His Own[...]
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[...]
But John Constantine is still John Constantine And now, with Swamp Thoing, in the Justice League No Dark qualifier necessary…
Well , this is fun Bleeding Cool has been following former publisher of DC, Dan DiDio, and his plan for 5G/Generation Five that was planned to have seen the central characters of the DC[...]
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[...]
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[...]

But in between them all is one of comic books' dirty little secrets – as secret as something that has been adapted into a movie starring Keanu Reeves, a TV series on the CW with a character who has been popping up in their other TV shows as well and who is meant to look[...]
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[...]
We all remember the movie version of Hellblazer, dubbed Constantine, right?
Well, when today's Hellblazer Special isn't introducing new swear words and Harry Potter to the DC Comics lexicon or having Constantine argue with Dan DiDio's current DC Comics policy, it shows us a variety of other versions of John Constantine.
Including a rather recognisable American actor[...]
And set up a place for that to all take place within, Such as a multiverse of parallel realities, alternate words and that, which can't possibly exist in a John Constantine world.
So the Occam's Razor that any such experiences he may have had in this field are down to him being a bit loopy[...]
And, as ever, John Constantine is often the instigator You may recall in Books Of Magic by Neil Gaiman how a 'f-cking hell' from Constantine became the frankly, far ruder, 'felching heck' on publication as no one not even the people who monitor the language on the website, knew what 'felching' meant back then But[...]

Co-starring John Constantine, he is looking very much like his original inspiration, Sting.
The story goes that when Steve Bissette and John Totleben were drawing Swamp Thing, with Alan Moore as writer, they used to hide Sting in the background scenes of Swamp Thing.
They told Alan that's what they were doing, and that he'd better make[...]

Justice League Dark reforms with Wonder Woman gathering mystical heroes to fix Earth's magic. Does it make for good read?
