REVIEW: Hellblazer #300 (of 300)

Or – “I’ve Been Putting Off Reading This One…”

I’ve been readin’ comics for a very long time.  Titles have come and gone, characters and universes swirling down the drain month after month, but Hellblazer has remained.  Since The Reagan Administration, I’ve been picking up every issue of this book (even the really awful ones) and I find the concept of a world without Hellblazer to be one that’s somehow a sadder place.  Still, time is an illusion, so they say, and lunchtime doubly so, and there’s no reason to dilly-dally any longer.  The end of one of my personal eras of comics is here, and your Major Spoilers review awaits!

On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast: Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits

This week on the Major Spoilers Podcast, the crew of two is taking a look at Matthew’s favorite character of all time – John Constantine, Hellblazer, and the Dangerous Habits trade.

John Constantine is dying. As a sorcerer literally haunted by the demons of his past, John is no stranger to mystic bedevilment or supernatural horror. But it’s his chain smoking that ultimately brings death to Constantine’s front door. John Constantine has lung cancer. Though condemned to hell, Constantine continues to laugh in the face of this all-too-serious world. Despite it preternatural overtones, this story is actually a down-to-earth tale about life, death, and the little details in between.

New Brighton Archeological Society

The Wheel of Morality will turn,turn,turn, and we’ll think of something funny to say about wherever it stops… theoretically, anyway. Johnny’s got his gun, and he’s lookin’ for Keanu. Bulletproof girls still like to play headgames. Plus: Is it #1 or #401? The Lion, the Witch, and the pyramids at Giza! And Rodrigo says It’s time to get things started… (Why won’t you get things started?) on the most sensational, inspirationational, spoiletational, majorational…

Haiku Salt Water Taffy Podcast

The azure bug is out of a home!  And so’s the giant squid!  And so’s the Rat-man!  For a change of pace, Batman fights the Joker…  Kirk gets his ride pimped…  Constantine gets his groove back…  And Rodrigo ends up sword-fighting his way past the palace guard and riding out of town in style, only to end up huddling in an inn while a reality storm passes overhead.
