This isn’t a comic to be on the fence about buying. This is a comic you NEED to get down to your local comic shop and pick up at once. This run of Hellblazer is amongst the best there is, and Spurrier delivers a finale that is perfect. This run of Hellblazer isn’t just amongst the best comics of the year, or the decade, this is an all time great, and this finale is the best of an excellent bunch. The writing, the art, the colours, it’s impossible to imagine a greater creative team coming together or producing a better story. BUY THIS COMIC. Read Full Review

JOHN CONSTANTINE: HELLBLAZER #12 cements this series' place as one of the greatest titles to come out of DC Comics. While this creative team might have had to rush their finale, they did so tactfully and beautifully. This is a must-read finale to a must-read series. Read Full Review

With issue twelve Spurrier rounds out his nigh on perfect run with John Constantine. Along with simply spectacular artwork from Aaron Campbell and stunning colours by Jordie Bellaire, the team have crafted an issue (and series) that is sure to be remembered for years to come. Its a shame it had to end at all. Read Full Review

I also really enjoyed how Constantine went about setting the bait for his older self. Overall. This is a satisfying conclusion to what has been a great 12 issue run. In fact, I'd love to see this done as an animated movie at some stage. Read Full Review

I look forward to reading this run from start to finish again one day. Read Full Review

Aaron Campbell lays out some beautifully dark and visceral imagery throughout this issue. Everything looks great and is filled with a darkness that matches the tone of the story. Read Full Review

In a finale befitting the rest of this incredible series, 'Hellblazer' #12 is bursting with jaw-dropping ideas and unforgettable character moments. Read Full Review

If you're looking to learn more about Constantine as rumors surround the character's big-screen presence, this is a series you should read. If you like the character, but haven't been pleased with how he's been written in recent years, this is a series you should read. Read Full Review

This treatise on guilt is bound to read well in a single collection and there was sufficient space to make this final issue hurt, even as it's apparent that it arrived long before it was planned or needed. John Constantine: Hellblazer remains the best statement on the character and themes of Hellblazer since the original series ended. Read Full Review

Perfect.

I don't give 10s a lot, rare to be honest but WOW, some ending...........

This whole series ranks amongst the greatest HELLBLAZER runs ever written through its characterization, narrative, art and its horror/fantasy style couple with its dialogue.Definitely one of the best series produced over the last years by any company out there

I love Delano's and Ennis's Hellblazer runs. This one was better. It's possible the comics market isn't big enough to support this sort of book anymore, which is a shame, because I wrapped up this story looking at the final black page and cursing that this was it. The story ends at a point that someone else can pick up from in the future, but it will be a real shame if Spurrier/Campbell aren't involved in the next chapter. Regardless, I'd expect several of the elements from this story to impact Constantine stories in the future.

What a perfect conclusion to a near-perfect run. I keep thinking back to Constantine's earlier runs, and I'm not sure even Delano's 1988-1991 had this level of character grit and bold urban mustiness. Not only that, but the art is absolutely stunning throughout.

Here's hoping the creative team will get to tackle John again in the very near future, especially given the amazing ground they've left for a follow-up.

This is probably my favorite issue of the run. And it's such an incredible shame that this is the end. If DC had any sense, they'd bring it back, even if the sales aren't what they'd like. Sometimes a story is worth publishing even if it's not a major seller. It'd look good to have one of the most critically acclaimed and universally praised series on shelves.
