Hellblazer, Vol. 3: The Fear Machine by Jamie Delano
1.0
Ok, I needed time to process this particular volume of Hellblazer because. yikes. But now I can semi-coherently say my thoughts.
If you haven't guessed from my overdramatic intro, I'll say it now; I didn't like this volume. This might be the worst comic I've read in 2020. From the writing to the plot to the decision of giving Constantine that god awful mullet, this was just an amalgamation of terrible choices. The plot was hacky at best; erratic in its storytelling which mainly consisted of telling not showing. That with the weird pseudo-feminist tone it tried to set with the pagan "naked lady" commune subplot and the monogue about a pedophile just made the whole read deeply unenjoyable.
