Rhyno posted:I'm going to jump in now and declare my love for the Azzarello run since I'm pretty much the only one in BSS who likes it. That's because the writing was loving abysmal, the lead character may as well not be John, and Richard Corben drew everybody looking like thalidomide babies in a world that lacked all perspective. You're welcome to your own opinion, of course.

Shameless posted:A reread is long overdue for me so I've dug the first twenty-odd issues out of their box. Might skip the Azzarello stuff though. gently caress that issue. That followed by Eddie "Stick To Drawing" Campbell's story caused me to stop buying Hellblazer entirely. Jedit fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Apr 18, 2013 |

bobkatt013 posted:The run by Denise Mina. It was just horrible. She got the character wrong and the plot sucked. It was just bad. A little while ago in Edinburgh they had a Crime Writers Evening with Denise Mina and Ian Rankin. I wish I'd been able to go, just to ask these two famous authors what they got out of writing Hellblazer.

Lasher posted:Haha, that ties in with him defeating an abomination composed of a gang of football hooligans stitched together by playing the rivalries against each other so they literally tear themselves apart. Forget who it was now. That's in the very first story arc.

Sizone posted:I usually hate happy endings, but they make for a nice change in Hellblazer. Like that line when Constantine is sitting in a bar and smiling over how a granddad is proudly watching his grandson chug a Coke like he'd chug a Guinness and Constantine remarks something like "Maybe nice stuff like that is going on all the time, but I don't notice it because all I ever see is poo poo." He's actually in Ireland at the time and thinks "You don't see anything like that in London", or words to that effect. Dream A Little Dream Of Me is a Sandman issue, not Hellblazer. I guess you were talking about early Constantine appearances?

LordPants posted:I'm at #7 on comixology, and I'm thinking I'd like these in print. Are these collected in any large hardcovers? Or just the individual trades? Just trades, and they're currently being reprinted with ancillary stories. Volume 4 was the last one out.

bobkatt013 posted:I am sure they will include her and Nergal, as its an important part of his backstory. I wonder if they will include him getting his blood, and banging the purity out of Zed? Nergal has been cast alresdy. It's pretty obvious that the show takes place right after Newcastle, because that's when John was committed into Ravenscar. The pilot is probably going to start with the botched exorcism, and definitely has flashbacks to it.

Adam Strange posted:90's Steve Dillon is great. Incredibly naturalistic, and it's easy to see why Ennis fell in love with him. You can see where Dillon began phoning it in about 15 or 20 issues into Preacher. But there's a reason why he was once talked up as the next Brian Bolland, and it's not because they couldn't think of anyone else to give the title to.

Medullah posted:I think Dillon's art really worked in Preacher, but that's about it. I don't really like it on Hellblazer, it was okay for Punisher but not amazing, and anywhere else it just doesn't work. Orlok the Assassin has a message for you.

Pope Guilty posted:In Hellblazer 163, the second part of the two-parter illustrated by Guy Davis that flashes back to the days of Mucous Membrane to set up the story of SW Mason, who's the mysterious figure who kills Angie? Destiny? No. But I have no idea who it is.

sporklift posted:So are they scrapping what they have or will Zed just be the second arc? They only have the pilot and second episode, so far as I know, and the second episode is being reworked to throw Liv under a bus in traditional Constantine style. The show doesn't launch until 24th October, so they have plenty of time to produce 11 more episodes.

They've been clear that John will be seen to be a smoker, but due to TV regulations he can't be seen actually smoking. They've got around it by having him preparing to light up, pitching butts or holding lit cigarettes without drawing on them.

Skwirl posted:It's slightly hilarious to me that Papa Midnite is consistently brought up when they adapt Hellblazer. He's in the first issue, but he dies in the second No he doesn't. Midnite doesn't die until issue 75, and even then he's not actually dead.

Sizone posted:Yeah, hazy recollections, I seem to recall the King of Vampires being pissed at Constantine for slumming it with a gay prostitute because he (king of vampires) had designs on Constantine's blood and vampires in Hellblazer are, oddly, not immune to AIDS. My only real clear memory of that issue was the line "ohhhh, my ringpiece" And you haven't even managed to remember that properly. The King of the Vampires wasn't actually pissed at Constantine at all about the company he was keeping, and all he said about the AIDS was that he could taste it in the blood. He then tried drinking from Constantine and fell foul of the demon blood.
