Having finished Vertigo's 'Sandman' series, I decided to read some of their other titles. I figured what better place to start than with wise-cracking conman/magician John Constantine? Apparently the answer to that question was 'Swamp Thing'.Original sins hits the ground running with plot without giving Constantine an origin story, or much backstory at all really. This is understandable in retrospect, since the character was first introduced in Swamp Thing. But it does make Hellblazer feel a little disjointed.As far as the stories themselves, I was a bit disappointed in how few times Constantine does something clever in these stories. The 'manipulative bastard' aspect was what I was most looking forward to about his character. He has a few good con tricks at the beginning and end, but they fizzle out in the middle. The horror aspect of these stories is cranked up to 11, so if that's what you bought these for, you won't be disappointed. And I have to say, the stories are a bit exposition heavy for my tastes, though Delano does a good job most of the time to make Constantine's train of though interesting.One final note: The kindle edition should drop this down to three stars. First, they moved all the issue covers to the end of the book, making the transitions between some stories confusing. And more unforgivably, there's more than one instance of zoomed in panels cutting off words. I've read plenty of other comics that had their act together on this from DC, so I don't know what went wrong here.If your a horror fan, I think you can still enjoy this, despite my complaints. But I recommend reading Swamp Thing first.
Not too long ago I saw a trailer for an upcoming show called Constantine and I was blown away by how cool it looked. I found out it was based on a comic book called Hellblazer and five minutes of research later I was looking on Amazon for the first book. The premise and protagonist were so brilliant I knew I would love it right away. After reading Volume 1, I'm proud to say that I was right.Hellblazer tells the story of John Constantine; a cynical, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, Liverpudlian magician, con-man, and occult detective who protects humanity from black magic and demons. Despite being a master sorcerer, he rarely ever uses magic. This is because unlike most people, John understand the dangers of his art. He chooses to only use magic as a last resort, instead relying on his talent for manipulation to get himself out of bad situations. Batman may be the world's greatest detective, but John Constantine is the world's greatest con-man. This talent makes him a very morally ambiguous character. He'll save hundreds of people, but manipulate and use them in order to do it. He's not a hero and he doesn't try to be, he's just a guy making a living doing what he does best. Unfortunately this living has been the death of several close friends who continue to haunt him years later. John Constantine is a brilliant character. Despite being morally ambiguous you can't help but love him and hope he wins. Even if you don't like the story, Hellblazer is worth reading just because of its protagonist.This book contains the first nine issues of the comic, referred to as the Original Sins arc. The story is very episodic, the issues being only loosely connected to each other. Together they serve as an excellent introduction to the world of Hellblazer. It's a bleak world full of demons and fools who would sell their souls just for a taste of magic and the chaos that comes with it. It's a world where the good guys don't always win, and even when they do it isn't always a happy ending. In one chapter, an entire town is torn apart while John watches in horror. Another shows a demon that could easily end civilization, and to stop it John has to do something horrible. Of course Hellblazer isn't all depressing. There is actually a lot of humor, usually provided by the cynical protagonist. Not only that, but when John does win, it's usually by completely outsmarting his enemies. There is a lot of variety in the chapters, something I really appreciated. They aren't the greatest stories I've ever read, but they were still very enjoyable. Jamie Delano's writing is excellent; it's obvious why people consider him the definitive Hellblazer author.The artwork by John Ridgway was great as well. While I waited for the book to be delivered to my house I read the first few pages on my kindle and, to be honest, I really didn't like it. However once I actually got the book and started reading, I began to appreciate the art a lot more. Personally, I think it suits the world of Hellblazer very well and I'm going to be a bit disappointed when I finish Ridgway's run. Unfortunately I'm sure a lot of people aren't going to like the artwork as it hasn't aged nearly as well as other comic from the 80's.This book also contains two issues of Swamp Thing, the series John Constantine first appeared in. I'm not very familiar with Swamp Thing, but the two issues were entertaining enough and extra content like this is always greatThe book itself is good quality. The cover art is done by Jim Lee and looks awesome while also giving people who haven't read it a good idea of what's inside. The pages are average-quality and nothing special, something I've come to expect from Vertigo after reading a couple other books of theirs. The book was in perfect condition when it arrived, however the packaging wasn't the best I've seen and it looked like it could have easily been ruined on the trip. No harm was done of course, but I think they could have put more effort into making it secure.Overall John Constantine, Hellblazer Volume 1 was excellent. The main character is fantastic. So fantastic that after I finished reading the book I immediately wanted to buy Volume 2 just to see more of him. The story and artwork, while not the best I have ever seen, are both enjoyable and you get a lot of content for a low price (I've paid the same for comics that were half as long). Like most comics from Vertigo, Hellblazer is not for kids. It's a horror-mystery story full of disturbing monsters, morally-questionable characters, and other adult content. Personally I'd recommend it for ages 15 or older, but that's just me. If you're a fan of horror, detective-fiction, or stories involving the occult and supernatural, then you owe it to yourself to read John Constantine, Hellblazer.
If it weren't for the story that opens this volume my punctuation wouldn't be so high. Aside a few happy moments I suspect that Constantine (or Delano?) is not suitable for long runs as the stories are uninteresting amblings from one place to another and the last story with Swamp Think is definitively overcharged with drama (next!) There is a part were a person enters a computer with 80's medical technology. I bet in its time it was already ridiculous. There are politics but at least Delano is trying to tell a story so it isn't overwhelming.About the art is amateur and not the ideal for a story with fantastic creatures. It looks like what a skilled student would do while bored in classes. Maybe DC wanted to have a fanzine look to denote counter culture but then again they are a big company...Despite that "Hunger" makes quite valuable this volume to meet a charismatic antihero that once was a kid that wanted a revolution but now in his thirties reality, as does to many, has hit him hard. The more he tries to help the more hopeless he is. And he tries.
