By Jonny_Anonymous 57 Comments
Trish Mulvihill-
""Hellblazer" is ending? "
Joshua Hale Fialkov-
"one of my great regrets is never getting to write the "real" John Constantine."
Warren Ellis-
HELLBLAZER cancelled, replaced by PG version. Sad to see that place for British horror stories go.
Brian Wood-
"Ugh! [in reply to Ellis]" "Seems very likely if I had launched The Massive at Vertigo as originally conceived, they would have cancelled it by now."
Ryan Kelly-
"The only Hellblazer I'll ever get to draw is crappy fan art. I'll be at the bar, sobbing."
Kieron Gillen-
"RIP Hellblazer. One of the greats. The end of Planetary 7 comes to mind. "Time to be someone else". http://readrant.files.wordpress.com/...seeing-you.jpg ...
(Part of me also thinks "You're not a real British Comics Writer unless you've written Hellblazer". So that's me doomed)"
Declan Shalvey-
"What the...... god dammit"
Jock-
"sad news about HELLBLAZER."
"would it be crass to say that HELLBLAZER: PANDEMONIUM, by @jamiedelano and myself is still out, full of swearing, politics and blood?"
Dave Gibbons-
"[in reply to Andy Diggle] Know what you mean. I wrote a couple of short stories and it's a cliche, I know, but Constantine just spoke for himself."
Jordan White-
"I cannot tell you how upset I am that Hellblazer is ending. It's probably my favorite book DC is doing. I hope they give it a good ending."
David Gallaher-
"Bummed about the loss of Hellblazer. Image Comics has largely made Vertigo irrelevant. Can't say I'm surprised."
Paul Cornell-
"I guess I always sort of assumed that one day I would write Hellblazer."
Si Spurrier-
"[in reply to Cornell] Me too, mate. Closest I ever got was a pisstake in Bec and Kawl. Now I feel bad."
Tim Seeley-
"That's kinda the nail in the Vertigo coffin, yeah?"
Mark Millar-
"WTF? Hellblazer CANCELLED"
Ian Rankin-
"Just heard Hellblazer comic book is for the chop. Only series I've ever written for. Only one I wanted to write for. Constantine RIP..."
Leah Moore-
"Really don't see point of ending Hellblazer. Really doubt Constantine will replace it."
Jamie Delano-
"Always the last to know. Ravens and the Tower of London, I reckon. Without Hellblazer, Vertigo falls."
"Pricks could at least let him drop dead coughing his heart up between drags on a ciggie, not reduce him to some anemic rebrand. lastword"
Tim Bradstreet:
“It’s an amazing thing to hit 300 issues in any run. For that, Congratulations to Hellblazer! I was there for 200 Relaunching JC at DCU? Don’t like that at all. Hellblazer was the first Vertigo book. It launched the whole line, and there it should stay.”
-Tim Bradstreet.
Simon Bisley:
"I’m really sad about them cancelling the title. I already miss the character; I really enjoyed doing these covers…"
