    Hellblazer #275, a truly Hellblazer wedding

    We have finally seen John Constantine married! But as to be expected the wedding doesn't go over exactly perfect. 
     
    This was really a good issue, and we got to see some great old characters that we haven't seen in a little while, such as Gemma Masters, and Kit Ryan, and some great old enemies.This had a great little twist in it. It also had a little story building in it, and I was left with the feel we are going to be seeing a lot more Gemma. But it was great even if you aren't a long time Hellblazer fan! 
     
    This is a definetly a good read, and for all of you still deciding whether or not to buy it the solution to your indecision; buy it! This is a really good issue, because it is incredibly entertaining.

    I am glad you reviewed this because if I remember correctly your a newer Hellblazer reader.  If my memory is correct, then you prove once Milligan became Sheriff the series was accessible.  Meaning, if this issue is scary since it may be the first Hellblazer they could of read, they could get Scab the trade, since it is the first of Milligan's books.

      Dearly beloved we are gathered here to day to join a man and a woman in "un"holy matrimony. This issue marks the biggest plot twist in the history of Hellblazer. From the creator Alan Moore and/or the man who fleshed him out Jamie Delano to Andy Diggle, none would dare make John half to a whole.  Peter Milligan serves as the priest in this union to change Hellblazer for better or worst.  275 issues in the making and with 25 years of real time history, our mate John Constantine has become an old ...

      Firstly, let me congratulate you Constantine-buffs on reaching issue 275 in these uncertain times. This was a great issue, and although it's part 5 in the arc, it still works as a stand alone story. The marriage in question made me (a casual fan) ask, who is John Constantine? He's a punk, a spiritualist, an occultist, and a vagabond. None of these things fit in with the description of your typical MARRIED man. I find myself concerned. How will this individual (if anyone ever truly deserved the t...
