"I'd like to see some of that. "
John Constantine: Hellblazer
Anyone else reading the latest Hellblazer comics? It's as strong as the book has every been. Si Spurrier, Aaron Campbell & Jordie Bellaire have made it brutal and topical, recalling the early days of the character. This feels like the Jamie Delano/John Ridgeway run... gritty and urban, with thick shadows and inky smudges and a righteous political rage. I'm loving it.

I've been reading and enjoying the new series, Rob. The art is a little too scratchy for me, but that is a small complaint. I really like that it has started with some smaller story arcs. So many series have 6+ issue arcs, the smaller ones here have been refreshing.

I love this book. It feels exactly like the Vertigo series did.
