I know he can always raise a little money from nefarious activities but I have to say, I did find myself raising an eyebrow. Out to America, back to the UK, out to Africa, back out to America… I think he crosses the pond more than I have, and I have a long distance relationship across the bloody thing for four years. Or maybe the act of starting a story is messy, and stories sometimes get a little all over the place.Ĭertainly John gets all over the place. I’d watched the movie, I’d read the Sandman issue with Constantine in, I’d heard some of the mythos, and as a result, had some expectations. This collection of the early issues of Hellblazer was a little hard for me to get my teeth into. Imagine Hellraiser as a comic, call that review there. And Ozzy and John are both mad, bad British working class boys done even madder. I think John Constantine would admit to the similarities there. Hellraiser is, after all, a swaggering piece of metal badassery all about knowing your actions are tiring you out and taking you to a bad place, but being unable to stop because that’s what you do. In any case, there’s a certain amount of similarity here beyond the names. Okay, first off, does anyone else have muddled synapses that look at Hellblazer and immediately think of Ozzy bellowing Hellraiser? Maybe while driving cars off cliffs in a computerised version of California? Please say I’m not the only one.
