Hellblazer Original Sins Jamie Delano Books

I admit I picked this one up because I really liked the movie. I'd been warned that the movie was nothing like the actual comic, but all the elements of the movie that I enjoyed most were present.

The art is dated and doesn't add much, but the writing is amazing, especially in the middle story, a supernatural tale of war life and rural reality colliding most violently, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home". "Waiting for the Man" also features some very disturbing sections, but like the rest of this volume it's full of loose ends and set ups for later plot lines.

A lot of the imagery in the movie did come straight from the comic, as did large portions of the plot. In fact, I have to wonder, other than the comic Constantine being blond and English rather than Keanu Reeves, what the complaint is. The same callous, ballsy Constantine finds himself dragged into paranormal threat after paranormal threat, often by a damsel in distress. While it's made clear that he's neutral and not on the side of heaven, hell or the ethereal, most of the plots in HellBlazer: Original Sins have Constantine coming up against the demonic side of things more than anything else.

It's definitely a good read, filled with strong, emotional writing and gritty, interesting characters. But beware, this volume leaves off, literally, in the middle of a scene so you might want to buy volumes one and two together.

Hellblazer Original Sins Jamie Delano Books Reviews

Excellent condition. Very pleased.
Just not my thing
I first heard of John Constantine through the movie of the same name. That is where the similarities end. The comic book is ten times better than the film. It is smart, political, and edgy. There are parts that are funny, some parts that are serious, and all in all the book is just fun to read. The movie Constantine does not do the Hellblazer series justice.

The movie missed the politics of the time, the religious parodies that would irritate any fundie Christian, and the character himself. John Constantine is witty, brash, arrogant and at times charming. He's not some melancholy, poor me, emo like Keanu portrayed him as. If you are a fan of the film, check out the book. You will be sorry if you don't. Hollywood doesn't have the balls to do a real Hellblazer movie. The religious right would flip out if they did.
From the first story on, you always know that John Constintine is a jerk, a con-man, and a treat to read. This book kicks off his own series, setting him apart from the Swamp-Thing world, where he made his first appearance. It's a little dated with some of the political happenings in the book, but that just adds an air of authenticity to the stories, in my opinion. Well worth your time if you like any kind of horror fiction.
John Constantine made his mark in these stories from the first 9 issues of HELLBLAZER. Beginning with "Hunger," where Constantine has to "bottle up" a demon before it consumes a whole city, the reader is introduced to a man who doesn't fight for heaven or hell, but rather to save mankind from getting caught in between. Using whatever means necessary, including the lives of anyone who is too close to him, Constantine rages against the unfairness of it all. Fueled by Jamie Delano's rage of Britain's and America's system of government and economy, Constantine battles yuppie demons and stands against both the Resurrection Crusaders and the Damnation Army in his hope that man will be allowed to make their own mistakes. However, the art doesn't help tell the story. Ridgeway's work is extremely "scratchy" and only the addition of Alcala's inks at the end of the collection make things This collection is a bit dated, with its Thatcher references and a connection to the Swamp-Thing series that hampers understanding of all the references, but it is a solid beginning. And it does make you wonder...What exactly did happen at Newcastle?"
I love the John Constantine character, but I couldn't even get through the second story in this collection.
If you're curiosity was up after watching the Keanu Reeves movie Constantine or the trailer or pilot for the new NBC TV Series Constantine, this is where you'll want to start. You get a much more interesting anti-hero in the original stories, and villains that aren't so kid-friendly. Don't get me wrong, the Papa Midnight version in the movie is interesting, but don't expect to find him the same in Original Sins.
