Demon Chas08

Anyone catch his birth date still 1953?

I really hope everyone forgets that show. It was pretty much a disgrace to Constantine.

Wrong. The 2005 film was/is a disgrace. The show was far more respectful than both the film and the short lived New52 monthly series

Looking forward to his spin-off show already.

As long as Cerone returns rather than Berlanti and Guggenheim New52-ing it up that is

The only chance of that happening is if his appearance in Arrow really strikes a chord with viewers, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility but I wouldn't be betting on it myself.

As long as they don't trade out Fearless Leader, Blass, Boylan and the rest of the writing staff for fucking Berlanti and Guggenheim, I want to believe

Argh... oh fuck.

 

OK here's the card and figure for the revised John. Notice anything... similar? Yep, it's the same figure repainted, with a different color magic zap. AND NICK COSTS MORE POINTS!

 

Weren't really trying huh, Heroclix?

I'll get mine early September now that my new job is kicking in

He's only actually appearing in one episode, where he resurrects one of the characters that are going to appear in 'Legends of Tomorrow' to avoid confusion.

 

Kinda hoping he'd help out Oliver take down Ra's Al Ghul by a series of sacrifices and cons like how he does in Injustice.

Basically, he's only going to be used as a tool.

 

Hopefully, viewers would find him very interesting and beg for him to stay in the show like Castiel on Supernatural.[/b

Or, y'know, just revive Constantine for season two instead of that.

The art from Del Ray puts this issue at a Diggle than a Azzarello for me. I do concur with Christian about the writing having now read the previous two issues this week in concurrence with the latest one.

Yes, Ming. I accept you. In fact, I love you and it definitely makes up for you drawn our boy like a Calvin Klein model

Calvin wouldn't let one of his models tuck their strides into their boots, I suspect.

So, no Lazarus Pit maybe?

There were rumors that he had major issues with the studio and how a lot of other behind the scenes problems caused the film to tank.

He made the film Chronicle pt 2 complete with him showing up to the set drugged out of his skull. Once Fox realized how wrong they were they wanted reshoots that triggered Trank lashing out leading to him getting locked out from doing the reshoots; Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker ghost directed the reshoots as did Matthew Vaughn (specifically the 3rd act)

*Opened to $2.7M Thursday; $11M Friday

*Critics (save for Campea, Knowles and Faraci) are slaughering it.

*Trank attempts to save his own ass playing the victim of Studio meddling.

*DOA

Yes, Ming. I accept you. In fact, I love you and it definitely makes up for you drawn our boy like a Calvin Klein model

There's only 50 issues left until the end, and Peter Milligan sounds like he ruined Hellblazer. Should I continue?

Just stop there and get City of Demons

I'm thinking John and Jerry Cornelius (Moorcock) would make the best match.

 

damn,you dug in the archives for that

 

Nah, he just dug Moorcock.

*resisting Half Man Half Biscuit reference here.

And BOOM goes the dynamite

Just me who thinks it looks like Murphy had started drawing him wearing a biker jacket then realised the script said a burberry and quickly changed as much as he could after he'd already started inking it, then?

He sure did a damn good job at changing it quickly as he did

Is Arrow any good?

Sat through two episodes around Season 1 and 2 separately. Not fond up the soap antics and mischaracterizations for the expense of said soap antics

Nope. I got nothing

truth?

 

constantine was better

If you meant the New52 cack then I say BLASPHEMY

Bumping up the thread for #1's order figures:

JUNE:

Constantine: The Hellblazer #1 - 38,080 (#66)

http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2015/2015-06.html

I found it more satisfying than the previous issue because it was part of a story, rather than a character piece with smatterings of story. The monologue was something of a throwback, but I think it was more hardnosed noir than Delano flowerings and I don't have a problem with that.

 

I find Rossmo's best contribution to be the hell denizens in the preview and this issue. Those "thin places" that Constantine walked past were pretty.

His work reminds me a little of Dean Ormston's on Lucifer.

 

I am going out on a limb to say that John's promise to the ghosts that couldn't really die "again" means Gaz will be back. Otherwise, killing him here was daft.

 

At the point when the story should have been a pathos-driven ending, we got "Heckblazer". Idiots.

So it appears we have the Austin Powers generation of John Constantine. If you will, the Jon Pertwee to Delano's Tom Baker and Carey's Peter Capaldi. (And yes, you pesky kids, Milligan's [ Spoiler : Sylveste McCoy ].)

 

Ha ha hah ! You thought I was going to say [ Spoiler : David Tennant ] !

Nah, son. Mina was McCoy. Milligan is....*cue Dr. EVIL close up and pinky* [ Spoiler : John Hurt!! ]

That's right. I went there

The Rossmo years?

Or just the Tynion IV/Doyle era. If Del Rey's name comes up again for the October solicitations, I'm convinced Rossmo was only contracted for just the first two issues

C.M Punk writing Drax? TO THE PULL LIST!!

Im of the opinion that the very idea of Nick Necro is offensive and terrible and nothing could be done to redeem him.

Except a mercy killing (see Gail Simone offing Tarantula in Secret Six)

Oh, god..... Can we not speak either one up? It drives me to drink
