Constantine is my favorite comic character. While I dug the Azzarello run for what it was, he was writing his own little horror stories where Constantine was more a vehicle to hang the bits on than a central character. I love Mike Carey's writing in general, so of course I'm predisposed to him, but it is also clear that Carey was interested in bringing Constantine back into the forefront of the story, making him the central character again. I will say that it must be tough to write this character because he really can't change all that much, so as usual what we see is a supporting crew that can be vulnerable, can grow, and can interact with each other in ways unexpected. In his first outing, we get the re/introduction of engaging characters that will wind their way through the plot and ultimately Carey's total run. So all in all, this was classic Hellblazer.

These four were me catching up on Hellblazer since the last time I read it... Mmm, yummy. Still a bastard of the highest order, and I still want him to win.

This is a solid Hellblazer story, nothing earshattering, but still artfully drawn and told. I have to admit it's something of a relief after the big "HUH?" I got from Damnation's Flame (the last Hellblazer collection I read).
