What's the best way to get into Hellblazer? Should I just

>>89185329

Sorry no normies allowed to read vertigo shit please get out

>>89185329
yes read delano and ennis

>>89185329
Yes OP just start with 1 and read through the 300 issues. It changes hands a few times and some are better than others but overall I think you'd miss out by not reading all of it.

>>89185329
read 1 onwards, skip the writers you feel their run is being tedious
then read the mini series' or graphic novels afterwards

>>89185329
All of it. It's such a shame they ruined it by bringing it into the main universe

That or start with Moore's Swamp Thing run where John is introduced.

But he was introduced in Swamp Thing, and that was always main universe.

>>89185329
yes. and don't skip anything.

>>89185329
NO

start with reading ALL of Moore's Swamp Thing first (cause it's good and introduces John, and if you like Hellblazer, you'll like Moore's swamp thing, it makes more sense to read it all rather than just the issue john appears in)

Then read #1-300 and all of the one-shots like Bad Blood, Pandemonium, Chas the knowledge etc

this

are people forgetting the time Swamp Thing faced off with Batman in Moore's run? or how John Teamed up with all etrigan and other DC supernatural superheroes to fight the great darkness with swamp thing?

>Should I just start from issue 1?
Please, yes.

You could start with All His Engines as a self-contained introduction to Hellblazer without having to bother with too much background stuff, but honestly just starting at #1 and reading it chronologically is the best way to experience Hellblazer.

You'll inevitable hit some runs that simply don't click with you (I seriously disliked Azzarello's run myself, for example), at which point you can choose whether to skip ahead to the next run or tough it out to make sure you don't miss anything.
