Hellblazer, Vol. 5: Dangerous Habits by Garth Ennis, Jamie Delano

4.0

Now THAT is what I'm TALKING about!

Finally, finally, FINALLY. I was really getting tired of poor John Constantine, professional wallower and dabbler in no arts. The Family Man plot was good, but I was really starting to wonder if Constantine did magic at all. All he seems to do is moan and groan. And drink. And smoke. And ride in vans.

But THIS. Now, THIS is great stuff.
SpoilerHis mortality catches up to him and (after the required wallowing and moaning) he pulls the biggest con possible to pull himself out of it.
I really noticed the parts the 2005 film and recent TV series (RIP, you left us too soon) picked up from this plot line, too. Fast-paced, exciting, and well-executed. Loved it.
