    John Constantine

    Character » John Constantine appears in 1561 issues.

    John Constantine, the Hellblazer, is a working-class magician, occult detective and a golden-tongued con man.

    Looking for a good read on John Constantine

    Hi :D So I've already read Hellblazer vol 1: Original Sins, and it was really good. I ordered the first 2 issues of the N52 Constantine run from my local comic book shop, but I also wanna read some more classic Hellblazer. stuff. Should I proceed to vol 2, or should I skip to some other, better volumes? Where did JonCon trick The Presence? It sounds interesting and I definently wanna read it.

    Thanks in advance guys :D

    Just go with Volume 2 and then 3. It's the natural progression and Delano is the Hellblazer writer for many people.

    I think Delano really hit his stride on the Family Man. I love that story. Plus vol. 4 has those great Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman stories. All His Engines was a good read too. Books of Magic has some really great moments with John.

    Which one is Dangerous Habits? After some googling I've seen many people saying it's the best Hellblazer arc.

    John tricking Presence hasn't been collected but if it does gets collected, it'll be the Vol. 12 or so in the reprints.
