Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned-especially one with gills, claws, and the teeth of a shark. Will John Constantine protect the fishermen who are in the siren’s sights? Or will he lead them right to her?
This is one of the best ongoing comics in 2020. Do yourself a favour and pick it up if you dont already. Everything about it from script to artwork is fantastic. This should be required reading for aspiring writers. Beyond that it should be required reading in high schools. Few comics really get a feel for contemporary life. If they do its usually too late and the comic talks about issues so on the nose to events of the previous months, it feels like wasted potential. Thats not the case with this. John Constantine: Hellblazer is one of the most current comic books on shelves today and any reader in Britain should pick it up. Read Full Review
Spurrier writes a great script that is worth reading twice just to get all the details. The art by Aaron Campbell is some of the best I have ever seen on this character. It is fantastic and deserves all the praise I can give it. Well done indeed. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed the analogy that Constantine uses to describe magic. How he compares magic to a school of salmon and the miracle that is migration in terms of all the crap that they put up with only to move to the exact same spot that they left the year prior. Overall. A fun read and perhaps one of the more tragic Constantine stories that we have had to date. Read Full Review
Aaron Campbell's art strikes the perfect tone for this story. It is beautifully dark and detailed with a rough quality that's perfect for the noir quality of the story. Read Full Review
John Constantine: Hellblazer #8 (Spurrier, Campbell, Bellaire) is yet another incredible issue in this superb series. Spurrier is quite literally magic in this issue that gets better with each word while being accompanied by dreadfully terrifying yet gorgeous art. Read Full Review
"Britannia, Rule the Waves, Part Two" is a dark installment that neatly wraps up this story arc and forwards the series' overall arc in interesting ways. Read Full Review
That's not because I like seeing Constantine play the nice guy. Because I don't think that's what's going on in John Constantine: Hellblazer #8. He just knows how to give others what they think they really want " and helped an unfairly treated creature do so in this issue. Read Full Review
Each subsequent issue takes us deeper into the seedier elements of John’s London, the human psyche, and the depravities that people do to each other. The supernatural elements allow Spurrier to tell the story he wants, but each story is very human and grounded in reality. One of, if not THE, best ongoing series of 2020. Do yourself a favour and pick this comic up now. Read Full Review
The second half of "Britannia, Rule the Waves" doesn't have many surprises to offer, but the long build to its inevitable conclusion is awash in horror so palpable that each turn of the page still aches with tension. Read Full Review
Morbid, cynical, and great as always.
Still perfect.
This story arc was my favorite of an already amazing run so far. The one series I'm following so far that the wait between issues is painful.
This is such a satisfying issue. Not much more to add. The series of the year so far.
Did Constantine just gave us a lesson on the meaning of love? I think he really did. I mean I don’t know how I could praise Simon Spurrier and his amazing artist Aaron Campbell more but goddamn they never disappoint us! And from the first stories of hellblazer, one of Constantine’s biggest thing was that he can bring so much humanity and so much personality and so much relatability to the forces that are fighting for evil and good, and I really think that, this is what John Constantine is for, this is why the comics media exist, and I know this may sound stupid but I really believe that this is why John Constantine is Hellblazer. Thank You, Simon Spurrier for everything you’ve done for my absolute favorite character of all time, you a more
Another amazing issue of Hellblazer. Every time I read a new issue, there's always the fear that this could be the one that pisses away the good will and it's all going to come crashing down. Thankfully, this is not that issue. This is another nearly perfect issue. I'm still completely on board.
Loved this storyline. Top class issue. Recommend!!
