John Constantine was missing for years-and in that time, England needed a mystical protector, a guardian at the gates. Heroically, the young man known as Tommy Willowtree stepped into the breach! This cosmically attuned mage has held evil at bay with the force of his positive white magic, unlocking a new era of peace for the citizens of London. He is a gentleman, a scholar, a clean-living, vegan acolyte of love.
So naturally, John Constantine hates his effing guts. And now they have to team up. Great.
This is a near perfect issue. Readers of the original Hellblazer are sure to get a kick out of this. Beyond that, any comics reader in Britain (of a certain age because it is a Black Label book) really need to be reading this. Spurrier is crating masterful work here. Well worth the read.

This issue is a lot of fun, exploring a bit more of John's petty side when faced with a new generation of magic. It makes for a humorous read that nonetheless moves the story forward in interesting and dramatic ways. Read Full Review
Brilliant new tone for this two-parter, Simon Spurrier’s writing will have you in stitches, Matías Bergara’s art sets the tone and helps with the humour, and Jordie Bellaire’s colours is the visual glue which holds it all together. A perfect jumping on point for new readers. This run on Hellblazer is definitely shaping up to be one of the best and most memorable. Simon Spurrier was born to write this series. Read Full Review

John Constantine: Hellblazer #4 begins a new arc in fresh clothes, that is until Constantine ruins them. In this visually gorgeous issue, Constantine meets Tommy Willowtree, who just might be everything he hates. Still, Willowtree needs Constantine's help, but Constantine might need Willowtree's more.

This issue reminds me a lot of the darkly funny Ennis run, and looks to promise great things for the title from here on out. Read Full Review
I enjoyed the art most of all in this book. I have never seen the artwork of Matias Bergara before. He is excellent and one hell of a talent. He brings the quality of this book up a lot. This is a fairly decent first chapter of a new storyline. Read Full Review
After an initial arc that promised to return the series' titular character to his roots, this reads like a cover band that only knows a couple of hits and that makes the entire experience quite a drag. Read Full Review
Tommy Willowtree is my favourite ever.
As a long time hellblazer fan, I can say that hellblazer is back and it’s at the top of it’s game with this issue.
I finally read this, and it was honestly amazing.
This issue was amazing from top down. The story was interesting, the artwork was superb and this issue was genuinely funny. John’s character was really shown off here perfectly. A guy who seems to be useless until backed into a corner when he needs to get the job done.
As a long-time reader of Hellblazer I can honestly say this is one of the best issues ever. It's written by someone who really understands Constantine and is filled with little nods to the comic's history. It's also laugh-out-loud funny, which is rare in comics these days. That moment at the beginning when John gets all spruced up and is looking sharp, walks out onto the London streets and gets splattered by an exploding shit-monster. Truly, this issue made me so happy and I don't care how weird that might sound.
Not much action this issue. Although I loved the hippy mage Tommy Willowtree.
First I was unsure of the new artist, Bergara, as even though it looked gorgeous, I liked the darker style of previous issues, I thought it fit the character better. But wow Spurrier and Bergara worked amazingly well together and out out an amazing and very funny issue. My favorite so far if the series. Can’t wait to keep reading this series
This was a great issue.
Solid issue. Willow tree is great! Poor john
As much as I loved the story I found the art hideous. John is a dark , funny , complex and really deep at his core so needs an artist that delves into these dark moods. Sorry but this kind of art ruins the mood of a great book.
