Episode 26 - Goodbye Hellblazer, Hello Constantine!

from The Comics Alternative · host Stergios Botzakis & Derek Royal

This week the Two Guys with PhDs eulogize the recently ended Hellblazer series and the publication of its 300th issue.  This is a sad occasion, since both Andy and Derek love Hellblazer, but at the same time both are generally pleased with how the series ended.  In this episode the two guys spend a lot of time discussing the impact and the legacy of John Constantine, his place in both the Vertigo line and the DC Universe, the strengths and shortcomings of the newer, younger Constatine in Justice League Dark, and they also speculate on the new title, Constantine, and what that might be. In addition, Andy succinctly encapsulates Brian Azzarello's run on Hellblazer with canine acuity.
