About this deal

Ennis' character defining run on Hellblazer explores what makes Constantine Constantine and it's arguably one of the best character studies in American comics. As Ennis peels away he layer's of Constantine's personality by way of his relationships to his friends, his lovers, and his enemies, a picture emerges of a deeply flawed staunchly anti-authoritarian selfish bastard, who pisses everyone off, including the devil, and desperately tries to fix his own mistakes, but often at a very high cost to himself and others. In 2011, it was announced that a younger John Constantine would feature in Justice League Dark, one of the new titles launched as part of September 2011's DC Universe reboot. He was to be part of a team including Shade, The Changing Man, Deadman and Madame Xanadu, known as Justice League Dark. [70] As part of the DC universe reboot in September 2011, Peter Milligan started the title which featured an alternate version of John Constantine as a prominent part of the team. [11] Milligan wrote eight issues of Justice League Dark, with writer Jeff Lemire taking over on issue nine. Ryan reprised his role as John Constantine in the fourth season of The CW's Arrow [124] and in multiple episodes of the third season of Legends of Tomorrow. In March 2018 it was announced Ryan's Constantine would join the cast as a series regular for the fourth season. [125] An animated series featuring Ryan as the voice of John Constantine, Constantine: City of Demons, was announced in January 2017 and was released to The CW's streaming platform in March 2018. The series was developed by Warner Bros. Animation and Blue Ribbon Content, with Greg Berlanti, Schechter and David S. Goyer (one of the creators of the live-action series) serving as executive producers, and Butch Lukic served as producer. J. M. DeMatteis wrote the series, and it was directed by Doug Murphy. [126] Warner Bros Animation and Blue Ribbon Content Vice President Peter Girardi said the series aimed to be "darker" than the live-action series, and closer to the Hellblazer comics published by Vertigo.

Holmes, Thomas Alan (2005) "Warren Ellis’ 'Shoot' and Media Passivity."

The story introduces, or reintroduces many characters who became an important part of the Hellblazer universe, including Inspector Watford (originally from Jamie Delano's run on the title), aging magician Clarice, and Map, a powerful magician who works on tube renovations in his part as custodian of London.

While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire. Written by Mike Carey and Denise Mina. Art by Leonardo Manco, Cristiano Cucina, and John Paul Leon. Honestly loved it until about halfway through. (The vampire stuff) After that the run started to drag and felt like it wouldn’t end. I’ve loved most of Ennis’ work since I read Preacher in high school but man he is really hit or miss.

His run started with " Dangerous Habits" (41–46), [21] which was the basis for the 2005 film Constantine, and dealt with John Constantine contracting lung cancer, and the desperate deal he makes with the First of the Fallen, and various other lords of Hell, to save himself. In the course of trying to save himself, he visits Ireland, and later becomes reacquainted with Kit Ryan, an old friend of Irish origin. The following few issues follow the early stages of his relationship with Kit, a plot to install a demon on the British throne in the plotline "Royal Blood", and in the extended issue #50, his first meeting with the King of the Vampires. One minor story in this arc (issue #51) was written by guest writer John Smith.

Retrieved January 28, 2018.I also had a completely different expectation of what this was going to be like. Having only read John in other books, and usually as a supporting character, I didn't know much about him. Expectations were a lot of magic and monsters, not at the Doctor Strange level, but some. There's actually very little, most of it is at the beginning, then the repercussions come at the end. In the middle, it's mostly stories about his everyday life, his friends and the trouble they get into, life in the UK. All of which is interesting because it helps to round out just who John is.
