5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive Hellblazer, December 17, 2004

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

Collecting the last four issues of Warren Ellis' notorious and all too-short run on Hellblazer, Setting Sun isn't a continuous storyline, but a collection of short stories with a team of revolving artists. In this collection our favorite hard drinking, hard smoking, bad luck magic mage John Constantine has run in's with depraved killers, reminisces about his love life, and in the final (and best) story, tells a journalist what "really" goes on in London. That story alone makes this worth picking up, as well as a story (drawn by cover artist and Punisher cover artist Tim Bradstreet) involving a series of murders and a box called the Crib which contains the aborted child of Satan. This is definitive Hellblazer, and this is definitive Ellis, and above all, this is an absolute must have for any Hellblazer who doesn't already own the single issues. And with the upcoming Constantine movie coming up, new fans will definitely want to pick this up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ellis goes out with a bang, September 29, 2004

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

"Setting Sun" collects the remainder of Warren Ellis' all-too-short run on Hellblazer. Unlike "Haunted," the previous Ellis trade, this is not a storyline, but instead a series of short stories starring Constantine, with a rotating team of artists. Every story in this trade is a gem, particularly the final one, in which Constantine spooks a guy with all sorts of paranoid conspiracy stories. It perfectly illustrates Constantine's character. Pick this up--you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nasty gems, October 15, 2004

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

The last four issues of Ellis, all stand-alone, all typically mind-warping creepy, including John having a long, uncensored chat with an investigative journalist about what *really* goes on in London, and a Tim Bradstreet-illustrated tale of a truly nasty artifact with an even nastier secret. Not for the faint of heart, but vintage, excellent Constantine.
