Peter Milligan (Author), Simon Bisley (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 22, 2010 | Series: Hellblazer

John Constantine, chain-smoking occultist anti-hero, is back in a new volume from popular writer Peter Milligan.

After getting dumped by his girlfriend, John Constantine goes to extremes to get her back. But will he sink to a new low by using a love potion? Constantine's enemies, the shape-shifting demon Julian and the young alchemist Epiphany, will certainly have something to say about this turn of events as well.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"* "If Alan Moore is the father... then Peter Milligan (Animal Man, Enigma, and Shade the Changing Man) is an influential and doting uncle." - Comic Book Bin * "The team offers a clean style which stands in the face of the gritty look often seen in older Hellblazer issues... It's a refreshing change, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this storyline goes." - Comic Book Bin" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: John Constantine, Hellblazer: Hooked (Paperback)

I ordered this TPB out of the blue, not having read Hellblazer for Years. The reason is Peter Milligan (Shade, Skreemer etc.), and loved it from cover to cover. There is magic in this book, demons, what you expect from a John Constantine adventure, but that is only on the surface, the real important stuff is uncorresponded love. The Story , without spoiling things up is John s Constantine s girlfriend has dumped him so he goes to a friend , a young female alchemist that has a crush on him to ask for a Love Potion, and that is when things really start turning sour.

Another thing to note is Milligan s talent to portray Constantine as a bastard with no loyalty to anybody, save himself, and willing to do anything. On a basic analyisis he is a bad guy, dont ask me how he does it , but Milligan makes him likeable on every way.

Well now you might understand, why this series has got me hooked , looking forward to the next two tpb by Milligan, and the 4 stars are just because this edition is on cheap newspaper print.
