Comics, natch. You know... John Constantine, the trenchcoated, cigarette-smoking, blonde-haired, magus Englishman? Yeah, THAT Hellblazer comic. Not the movie. That was Keanu-crap. Talk to me about everybody's favorite right pain-in-the-arse. What moments do you like best from which story arc. Spoil if you have to, but label it so. Not everyone has read all that it has to offer.

Don't have time to reminisce, but I will say I think Marcelo Frusin is probably the best artist that has worked on the series. My friend says he portrays Constantine very well. I have to agree.

Mike Carey's recent run was excellent up through the Demon Dog arc, Constantine just as he should be. It's nice when writers remember hey, this guy is a magician, maybe I could have him do some magic. The stuff after that with his instagrow demon-kids or whatevs? Fell kind of flat.

I only have the first 50 or so, and then about half of the ones from 60 to 100, plus Annual number 1.......but I can honestly say it is my favorite comic book series of all time EVER. I mean, I'm not a comic-geek or anything, but the writing is freakin amazing, the art is beautiful, and to top it all off, I love the fact that he's not 'Super-strong' or 'Super-fast' or super-anything. He's just a dude in a trenchcoat. It makes me sad that I only have 2 Swamp-thing comics, and only one of them has Constantine in it. I love the DC horror comics in general, but Hellblazer has them all beat.
