TERRIBLE....... DO NOT BUY.......,
By
This review is from: Constantine: The Hellblazer Collection (Paperback)
Simply awful. The writers have tried to squueze the entire, complex storyline of the Constantine Movie into a small comic of few pages, resulting in a rushed, unengaging piece of reading matter, or for a better word... TRIPE!Much too expensive when compared to the original Hellblazer graphic novels, which are VASTLY superior. After the short movie adaptation, the rest of the book is made up of three individual stories taken from the original (and BETTER) Hellblazer Series. One of these three stories ("Hold Me" by Neil Gaiman) is a haunting, self-contained piece about the ghost of a dead London tramp. This is worth owning. Unfortunately, the other two are simply "tasters" from other Hellblazer graphic novels, sure to get you all worked-up for nothing, because you'll need to purchase other books to find out what happens. Disappointing. If you enjoyed the movie and wish to discover the Hellblazer comics then my advice is to start your collection with "HAUNTED", "SON OF MAN" and "ORIGINAL SINS" (in that order) as these will introduce you to Constantine as he was intended to be. Incidentally, the "Hold Me" story can also be found in Gaiman's title: "MIDNIGHT DAYS" which collects his early works before "Sandman" came about.
