John has found the cause of the magical madness slaughtering gang members on Peckham Rye...and it's just one guy! How hard can it be to stop him? Well, when the gangs get involved and the source of his power becomes clear, the answer turns out to be "Near impossible, actually!"
The third issue cements any doubts that this series is something special. An incredible pairing of writer, artist and colorist make this comic one of the best on the shelves at the moment. Simon Spurriers got such a good grasp of what makes John Constantine so great and has populated his world with characters who feel so real they practically jump off the page. Aaron Campbell manages to bring Constantines London to life in the most incredible way. Jordie Bellaires colors have to be amongst the best in the industry and really atmospheric. This is the comic I look forward to most month after month. Read Full Review
Overall. A fairly strong opening story arc. I look forward to seeing what else Spurrier can come up with. Read Full Review
John Constantine: Hellblazer's first arc is concluded. It was a tremendously good one to begin with. The cast of artists could not have been a better one since it feels, throughout all three issues which compose this arc, that all the members of this creative team made it together, in the same room with a passion for the project. Now it's official: John Constantine is back and I, for one, cannot wait for more of his stories. Read Full Review
Lastly, looks like Constantine has a new sidekick in Noah. Seems like a good add. Hopefully, Spurrier doesn't abandon Nat. Feels like she has a lot to offer. Read Full Review
This is a nice book that is both a callback to when Constantine was good and it also breaks into new territory. It is exactly how I love this character. Let's keep him this way this time. Read Full Review
if there was any doubt in John Constantine: Hellblazer not being a must read series, the completion of this first arc should convince you that it should be the very first book that you read each week. Read Full Review
The first arc of the relaunched 'Hellblazer' concludes in a rather satisfying way, setting up new allies and enemies alike. Read Full Review
John Constantine: Hellblazer #3 wraps up the series initial arc in satisfying fashion. Having been absent for the better part of a decade, Simon Spurrier has brought the real John Constantine back, so Joshua Hale Fialkov may one day get his opportunity. But as strong as the writing is, the artwork is even better. Hellblazers artists dont just create a world to look at " it is one that readers experience. Heres to more experiences as the series marches forward. Read Full Review
Considering how Constantine seems to be a chaotic agent in the main DCU at the moment, seeing him in this much grimmer, more downcast version can be jarring. But it's a compelling supernatural noir series that seems to have a lot more of a dark and magical London to explore. Read Full Review
If you aren't already reading John Constantine: Hellblazer then you are completely missing out. Every issue this far has been an absolute blast. I am incredibly excited to see where Spurrier, Campbell, and Bellaire take it. You should already have this issue sitting on your coffee table, but if not, pick up a copy immediately at your local comic book shop or wherever you get your comics. Read Full Review
For the first time in about a decade, it feels like the tradition of Hellblazer has been resumed. Read Full Review
"Had a thing with a death bloke in the nineties."
This is an absolute love letter to Constantine.I red all of the original hellblazer,all 300 issues and at the very end of the series it started to slow down and get worse and the new 52 series didn’t help,and the rebirth series did even worse,but after almost 7 years we can say that John god damn Constantine is back! Spurrier,you magnificent son of a b**ch,thank you thank you for everything! But,I’m not replacing chas with noah.
THE GOOD:
-Perfect ending.
-This is some of the most unique looking art that's coming out right now.
-John Constantine is such an awesome character.
-It's nice to see comic with smaller villains. Big threats are important too, but it's refreshing when the hero isn't fighting some end of the world threat.
-This writing... it's so great, so distinctive.
-I liked how nicely things tied up. Wonderful payoffs this issue.
-It's so good to see Constantine defeating the villain with his wits and not in a huge fight.
THE BAD:
-Nothing I can think of.
Man, I was having such a good time and then Old John had to come back and ruin it all with his stupid face.
This is a really great series so far. Stop with the Old Man Constantine bit though. Every time he appears, I'm reminded that all good things end badly.
Best issue of the series so far. John barely had to practice magic but got the result he wanted. This issue did very well in finishing the story.
An excellent conclusion to the first story arc. The art and writing are so good they blow away the bad memories of the painful Hellblazer Rebirth series. I still wonder how that got past the editor(s) every month. THIS is John Constantine. Aaron Cambell's rendering of modern London is stunning--all dark and menacing but shot through with moments of magical fire. I am so happy this series is back to its best after only three issues. I just hope enough people are reading it!
Wonderful Vertigo Hellblazer at its best.
Best issue of the 3
