Interpretation In Favor Of Books Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits (Hellblazer (1988) #6)
John Constantine, the main character in Hellblazer, was originally a very minor character in DC Comics' Swamp Thing. Next came his only series, in which this hard-smoking, hard-drinking, all around manipulator walked the thin line of magic between this world and hell. So when Irishman Garth Ennis was asked to write this comic book, he had asked himself, "What could I possibly do to John Constantine that hadn't been done before? And one course of action suddenly stood out above all others: Kill him." The result is a tense supernatural drama that begins with Constantine being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Though this book only hints at the freeform casualness and over-the-top vulgarity that became Ennis's trademark in the Preacher series, this is an immensely enjoyable read with strong characters and dynamite plot twists. --Jim PascoeCollects Hellblazer #41-46.

Hellblazer Book 6: "Dangerous Habits" collects Hellblazer issues 41-46 -- the first story from Garth Ennis' run on the title. This is one of the very best Hellblazer books out there, and other than Book 1 (Hellblazer Original Sins), it's probably the best starting point for new readers. Along with Original Sins and Hellblazer The Fear Machine, this book is one of my favorites from the title. Not only that, but it really stands on its own pretty well; they really should make a movie about thisI think I just don't *like* John Constantine. (Or Garth Ennis.) He's kind of an unlikeable bastard. But at least he's sort of aware of that.
Damn! This Sodding Book! I have been anticipating this book for so damn LONG now. I read Original Sins and pretty much loved it. I read The Devil You Know and really didn't like any of it EXCEPT the Newcastle issue of course. But this. This is really fucking good. First of all, if you are going from early Delano to Ennis like I did and are worried about the character changing, don't worry. I am living proof of the fact that you will have a smooth transition into the Constantine everyone knows
If you are a fan of Mr. Enis or of John Constantine, then this is a great story arc for you. The movie was based loosely off this story and the comic shows why it is far superior. The ending to the story as clever as it is, still manages to show JC as the self-absorbed morally ambiguous character that he is. Well done Mr. Enis.
Fantastic! Oh, but I don't have to tell you that. This is only one of the most talked about Hellblazer stories out there. When Constantine gets his terminal diagnosis. And oh boy, does it live up to the hype. If you're new to reading Hellblazer and wondering where to start, this would be a fantastic issue. It's a truly great story and Ennis comes in with a heckuva big bang with this one.My favorite part? - (view spoiler)[When Constantine flips off the devil, of course. Ha! Why wouldn't it be?!
The now classic story of how John Constantine managed to evade death by cancer of all things. John finds out that having smoked a few packs a day really hasn't been good for the lungs, especially when one isn't keen on doctor's appointments. In desperation, he reaches out to any and all who can help - even demonic forces.Well worth a read! You don't need to know all the lore there is to know about Constantine and the world he's part of to enjoy this story. It's a dark one, but still highly
