  1. Just read Rebirth 1.

     

    Return of classic Hellblazer John. Name drops a bunch of stuff from the pre-52 continuity while quietly sweeping aside and wrapping up the previous runs left overs.

     

    Glad Johns old back story and relationships are back because I wasn't a big fan of the new stuff they came up with with the previous relaunch

  2. Matt Ryan wants to do the serial killer Family Man arc if there is a season 2

    “I also love, and what could be a possibility for Season Two I think, is the Family Man arc. What I like about that is, it’s not John dealing with demons and devils, it’s him dealing with human beings and I think that’s a very interesting place for John. I think there’s actually a line in the comic where he says, ‘Demons, devils I’m fine with, but the real life, the real problems that human beings have.’”
  3. Hopefully this is better than the previous Constantine title.

     

    Seeing as they are using the Hellblazer title and hiring a Vertigo writer I'm wondering if this book will be closer to the old Hellblazer series.

     

    I'm guessing Dark Universe is replacing Justice League Dark.

  4. Really solid episode.

     

    The episode felt very Lovecraftian.

     

    Nice little mention of Ritchie's comic story with the consciousness was transferred into a computer. Ritchie saying he and John were Cancer was a neat nod to the comics as well.

     

    I liked the Bradstreet Hall easter egg.

     

    Happy to see John not reliant on magical artefacts for a change.

     

    Happy to see John pickpocketing campus cops, smoking cigs and boozing.

     

    I hope we get to see a flashback of the Newcastle Crew altogether one day.

     

    Harold Perrineau, Jeremy Davies, AND William Mapother. Casting director must really love Lost.

  5. I can't see the BBC paying for any fancy american TV show.

    Maybe if you pay more for Doctor Who.

    I'm talking about BBC America which a commercially funded Network for American audiences half owned by BBC Worldwide and half owned AMC.

     

    BBC America is looking to make more original content (Orphan Black, Intruders and Fades are some shows they have financed).

    The fact Constantine features a British lead and they they don't mind producing genre shows also works in its favour.

     

    The thing which may work against Constantine is production is based in Atlanta and they may want to move the production to Vancouver like Orphan Black because it is cheaper to film there.

     

    With AMC being part owners they could cut a deal to share some of The Walking Dead production space and talent to double down on the costs.

  6. Nice cliff hanger and it was great to see another member of the Newcastle Crew.

     

    I noticed Anne-Marie didn't mention Benjamin Cox when see listed the crew. I guess they left his character out because what happened to him isn't network TV friendly.

     

    The actress playing Anne-Marie looked a bit too young to of introduced a 15 year old Constantine to occult circles.

     

    I still think this show relies too much on magic artefacts rather than John's wits. Do the show writers think audiences aren't smart enough to follow John's scheming plots?
