About this deal

Ennis' character defining run on Hellblazer explores what makes Constantine Constantine and it's arguably one of the best character studies in American comics. As Ennis peels away he layer's of Constantine's personality by way of his relationships to his friends, his lovers, and his enemies, a picture emerges of a deeply flawed staunchly anti-authoritarian selfish bastard, who pisses everyone off, including the devil, and desperately tries to fix his own mistakes, but often at a very high cost to himself and others. I also had a completely different expectation of what this was going to be like. Having only read John in other books, and usually as a supporting character, I didn't know much about him. Expectations were a lot of magic and monsters, not at the Doctor Strange level, but some. There's actually very little, most of it is at the beginning, then the repercussions come at the end. In the middle, it's mostly stories about his everyday life, his friends and the trouble they get into, life in the UK. All of which is interesting because it helps to round out just who John is.

Retrieved 2011-10-17.This was followed by a lengthy nine-issue story arc, "The Fear Machine", [16] revolving around a masonic plot to collect people's fears, to raise a dormant god known as Juntakillokian, and his efforts to prevent this with the help of environmentalists, including Mercury, a young psychic girl, and Marj, her mother, with whom he becomes romantically involved. The penultimate major run of Delano's tenure was " The Family Man", [17] which differed from the main body of the series thus far in that Constantine's nemesis is not supernatural (beyond an opening metafictional encounter with a fictional fence), but a former policeman turned serial killer. John's ethical quandary as to whether murder is ever acceptable, and his coping with the murder of his father, Thomas, frames this story. During this run on the title, Grant Morrison (issues #25 & 26) and Neil Gaiman (issue #27) both filled in during a three-month break, with Morrison's story dealing with nuclear fear, and Neil Gaiman's being a ghost story about homelessness.
