Ah, writing Hellblazer is a trial by fire, I’d say; not many authors seem to succeed with it. I’ll be starting Ennis’s run in a few days and I’m quite stoked for it as it seems to be well regarded. Cool review, Lashaan! I guess I’ll give this one a pass – I’m not really one for prequels 😜
Also, I know that may not be the most important thing here, but I’m somewhere at the end of Delano’s run and till now Constantine was very much heterosexual with a bit of tree-hugging involved 😉

Indeed, if the tone isn’t right from the start, they tend to struggle in the execution. I haven’t tried Ennis’ run but did read the first volume of Delano’s run in 2019 (and have yet to continue it). I hope Ennis’ run impresses you though!
I have only seen him as a heterosexual in most stories too. The first time they dared push him into being bisexual was in the CW Arrowverse shows. And now I got Tom Taylor embracing that element for the character in this story.

This sounds interesting. I watched Constantine movie. It’s interesting concept. Amazing review, Lashaan!

Keanu Reeves’ Constantine was actually pretty decent. Thanks for reading, Yesha! 😀

Did you ever read the original Hellblazer comics? I’ve not, though I’ve been curious to try them at various times. Obviously, though, never enough to actually do it. If I do I probably won’t start here. 🙂 And your mention of The Boys reminded me I have a copy of volume 1 waiting in my stack of yet to be read trade paperback collections. One day perhaps I’ll get through all those.

I have! I read and reviewed the first volume of Delano’s Hellblazer run back in 2019 but never got around to continuing the series. I definitely should fix that at some point.
Glad to hear that you have a copy of The Boys in your collection! I read the first omnibus digitally and wasn’t completely enamoured by it but appreciated the insanity of the story (I was curious to see how it measured up to the show).
