JohnMcMahon 661 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Andy was running a little late with the script for the Laughing Magician story so Leo's art isn't his best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus 164 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Although I'd say it's better than anything he's done before on the title. But that's just my opinion, and I'm certainly in the minority here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellis 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Brief story outline from here: Hellblazer: Pandemonium, by original Hellblazer writer Jamie Delano and Jock, has Constantine sent by Scotland Yard to Iraq, where an ancient force is bubbling up, and only Constantine can fix it. John falls in love with a woman who may or may not be a spy, and the tale will have Constantine in Baghdad dealing with current political situation and echoes of the past. Sounds quite interesting - I had a feeling it'd deal with politics in some way or another! Your art looks bloody amazing as always, Jock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southerlywind 5 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Oh! I wondered why Nergal sounded really familiar as I was starting in on Hellblazer. I think he's mentioned as Ereshkigal's husband in the Akkadian version of 'Descent of Ishtar' I read last year. He doesn't really show up all that much otherwise.

JohnMcMahon 661 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Credit where it's due, John's scar actually looks like a scar in that first pic - not just a line lashed across his face at the last minute as per its general appearance in the monthly issues (and I'm a mad Manco fan me). I'm dying to find out how yer one is smoking in a Burka! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
