'The Hellblazer #2' by Simon Oliver with art by Moritat continues John Constantine's return to England. I liked the first issue, and this one builds a bit more.
The Swamp Thing is looking for Abigail Arcane, and he still believes in John. Meanwhile John seems to only be looking out for himself (which is per usual). He weasels Chas for a ride and for Chas to place a bet for him. He then begins to look into a new underworld kingpin, but ends up picking up a tail with a couple strange human looking creatures he refers to as muppets.
At this point, I don't know how the Swamp Thing story and the John Constantine story connect, but they are certainly a study in contrasts. The Swamp Thing is quiet and powerful, and John is chaotic and frenzied.
I like the art by Moritat. It has a cartoonish look to it, so John's expressions tend to squash and stretch. The color is good and panels have nice background details. I like this book so far.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this issue.

I guess this is starting to become somewhat understandable .
Swamp Thing has started his new journey , meanwhile a new boss has taken over the supernatural underworld of London and Somehow John Constantine has learned of this and he is already started his new mission to take this new mysterious Kingpin down .
While I’m not a big fan of the sketches done the colouring is just amazing and the background on each and every panel is simply breathtaking . in terms of the story much of the issue so far had been confusing but thankfully this issue made plenty more sense . That said new readers not in the know of all the characters associated with Constantine may have difficult time figuring a lot of things .
I’m still on the edge of whether or not I should continue with this title , but I think I’ll simply continue with this arc and then decide on it .

It's going very good for now, I like how John is being written and all the little references to the past. Here we start seeing the plotline for this arc more clearly. I hope I can keep reading soon.
Also, on a small note, I'll say I'm liking the alternative covers more than the other ones
