Isn't Fawkes also getting his hands on Spectre soon? At least his Eternal issues have been the best. I've been enjoying those.

this joke and that special guest cameo in 17 are the highlights of the series.

I think i never read something where the spectre was not a vilain...
>>
>>64903660
>>
>>64903671

Because in one-shot guest appearances, he usually is treated as an adversary that needs to be overcome. Ostrander's run is much more character-focused, where the mantle of the Spectre is more of a test that Corrigan struggles with. Highly recommended.
>>
>>64903247
>notices his drink being poisoned
>can't avoid getting blindsided
>>
>>64903381

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about it because Fawkes had a habit of making magic boring in this series, but his work with Corrigan in Eternal has been pretty neat,and I love the concept and art credits behind the proposed book so I'm going to give it a shot anyways.
>>
>>64903710
You'd have to be blind not to notice that fucking poison.

>>64903742
To be honest I'm just hoping we get more Gentleman Ghost.

Fingers crossed for DeMatteis using him in JLD, I guess.

Gentlemen Ghost is awesome.

>>64903804

The problem of the book is that the writing is really mediocre and you've some really, really dumb ideas. Like turning John Constantine into Sam Winchester, what with a demon burning his house down killing his family when he was just a kid because of him, or the Cold Flame being founded by John Giovanni Zatara who's an evil Chris Angel.

God...

Do you also try to forget that Zatana Zatara was a wizard groupie who would follow that Nick Necro fellow everywhere like a puppy, and that Necro taught everything he knew to both Zatana and Constantine, who copy-cat everything Necro did?

that was the fucking worst part of it all. I stopped reading Constantine around issue 6, is the whole Nick Necro thing ever referenced again? it really pissed on the whole Hellblazer stuff about John not liking imitations and what made John so unique as his own man in the first place
>>
>>64904300

>>64904344

Yes, during the Blight cross-over that happened together with Forever Evil.

>>
>>64904410

>>64904456
>>
>>64904407
I was hoping to god that fawkes would have just completely ignored the JLD 0 issue, looks like that's not the case ten.
>>
>>64904532

Dude. It didn't stopped with the 0 issue. Nick Necro became the focus of the major arc that took place in JLD before Dematteis came in and he showed up again as one of the baddies during Blight. He's now one of the major enemies John has.
>>
It's not half bad but I really need to think of it as a different character from Constantine.
>>
>>64904575
I knew it would be brought up again in JLD as the ending was clearly setting him up for a recurring villain, but I thought it would be kept out of the actual Constantine book.

This isn't even bad, just bland.

Part of that is the art, part of that is the inescapable fact that a PG-13 Constantine will never be able to live up to Hellblazer.

I feel bad for Fawkes, pretty much everything he's been given at DC was a no-win situation.

Its boring and it destroys the character.

The cover is Constantine charging up a mystical blast shaped like a pentagram... How could they get any farther from the core of the character in just the cover... Not to mention the rest of the comic.
>>
>>64909801
>>
>>64909826
>>
>>64909812
>Its boring and it destroys the character

No it doesn't, any more than Superman being a pink commie dog in Red Son "destroys the character".

It's just a different version.
>>
>>64909865
Seeing as how we have Pandora and the Phantom Stranger here, what the hell have they been doing with the Question?
>>
>>64909912

>>64909951

>>64909896

You're comparing an Elseworlds to the main version of a character, thou.
>>
>>64909912
he and Phil are gonna costar in Trinity of Sin
>>
>>64909974
>>
>>64909993
I'm talking about before that.
>>
>>64909988
But "main" is kind of a sketchy area. Vertigo Hellblazer has years of stories under its belt and a vast stable of writers; doesn't that make it more "main"?

I get that continuity is a whole thing to people but when it comes to "versions of characters" continuity is less relevant. That's why, for example, people get upset when a bad movie starring their favourite cape comes out, because they consider the movies the "main" version, despite them not being in-continuity with the comic universes.
>>
>>64910025
oh yeah I dunno

he showed up like once in Trinity War and a couple times in Phantom Stranger to kill him and that was about it
>>
>>64910025
>>
>>64910086
>>
>>64910106
>>
>>64910123
>>
>>64910073

I'm just saying that your comparison was really weird. Superman: Red Son was a mini, an Elseworlds. Superman isn't a pink commie in The New 52, is he? Saying that the anon shouldn't be upset about the current John Constantine being so different when Superman was a pink commie in a mini once is really weird.

>different version

Fuck that. They Canceled Hellblazer for pretty much no fucking reason so they could make their bland but super marketable version of him popular.

They clearly aren't interested in a "different version".
Its clear they are forcing him to be the definitive version

They were worried about confusing casuals.
The same reason DC suddenly hates Legacy characters.

John Constantine is my favorite character in comics.
And Most of my favorite comic book characters are DC.
But fuck DC so much. Honestly. Fuck them. Fuck them.

I am so mad
>>
>>64911431

There's a lot of older Vertigo and DC series that deal with the magic side of the universe as well. It's one thing that DC I think does really well (most of the time)

Just start from #1 and keep going. Even the bad runs on Hellblazer are pretty decent.
>>
>>64912119
>>
>>64909896
>>64910073

A more valid comparison than a miniseries like Red Son would be if the New 52 made Superman into a totalitarian fascist, with the intention of that being the status quo for him for the foreseeable future.

That would destroy a lot of the character's appeal for no good reason, and if it turns out that it makes the stories about him less interesting, then it's a change for the worse.
