mikibooks's review against another edition
5.0
Sólo el especial de Neil Gaiman titulado "Abrázame" le vale a esta edición un rotundo 10. El unitario es tremendo, sublime. De una tristeza y crudeza tan maravillosa; llevada a cabo con una simpleza tan magistral, y en tan pocas viñetas, que te deja helado. No es que una joya de este calibre pueda sorprender de la mano de Gaiman, pero es reconfortante saber que compartimos la misma realidad. Federiken Masters me dijo que "lo que tiene ese capítulo de Gaiman es que en apenas unas pocas páginas destila la esencia de Hellblazer, en una historia trágica y hermosa", así que no me queda otra que ponerme al día con John.

This was a weird read but a pretty good pick for a newbie to Hellblazer comics. It has a lot of 1st issues of iconic Hellblazer runs with some interstitial explanatory essays/notes. Kind of like an appetizer platter for Hellblazer. A lot of truly unhinged content. Also Sting wrote the introduction (because Constantine's lewk is based on Sting) but Sting wrote it in character as Constantine, I guess, but at first I was like, whoa Sting what the FUCK?
it's interesting what a product of its time the earlier issues are. Like a frankly startling amount of talking about AIDS and AIDS testing for a supernatural comic. In a good way? Like a little dated but not offensive. Constantine will do some dumb-ass shit with demons but he won't have unprotected sex, and good for him.
