OMG, practicly everything I've read on the thread was just disgusting and awful.

I can't wait to start buying HB back issues.

Bout time we've seen some damn pics of my boy Gavin in the flick.

Now, time to change my avatar

Happy B-Day, Josh!

I actually liked the issue, this being my second issue, but it would of been more of a great story to me if I knew a few things, like, what exactly is the story about the 3 children of Constantine

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

John's kids were introduced in issue 200 a couple of months back - basically, a demon called Rosacarnis has had it in for John ever since he got her dad torn to shreds by angels (all the way back in issue 12). After the events of the storyline called Staring at the Wall, she seized her chance and forced an amnesiac Constantine to do her bidding for one day.

 

Using some kind of magic, she compressed time and trapped him in three alternate lives and marriages to three of the women he's been linked to in the past, although each of the women was actually Rosacarnis in disguise. John had a child with each "woman," and in doing so created the children that now wish to kill him. Issue 200 should still be lying around your comic shop.

 

The plotline with Rosacarnis started with issue 194, but that spun directly out of a larger storyline that began with issue 175. None of those issues have been collected into books (or "TPBs") yet, so you'll have to seek out the individual issues. However, it looks like 175-180 will be made into a TPB in February.

Wow, awesome. Thanx, James. I can't really find issue 200 anywhere, but I'll continue to search for it. Thanx again.

Wow, thanx a lot, Lou K. So far, I'm really enjoying Hellblazer, the setting, John Constantine's character, the mood of the story, I love it, and it's quite original in a world today.

Once again, thanx, man.

I actually liked the issue, this being my second issue, but it would of been more of a great story to me if I knew a few things, like, what exactly is the story about the 3 children of Constantine, and also, who exactly are Alba, Map, and Clarice?

16 here.

Yep, I'll be getting this tomorrow.

Welcome aboard the Love Train, Balthazar (should we assume an affinity for Bush, erm Gavin Rossdale, or did you just like the name ?)

 

Come and join the wider discussions, especially the one about which Hellblazer collections to pick up !

Thanx, Adrian. And yeah, I'm a huge Bush/Gavin Rossdale fan. I'm basicly obsessed with this band and their music.

After surfing through the site and askin questions, I see the Balthazar isn't a character from the comics, and I'm hoping he does get introduced in the comics after the movie.

This is my first Hellblazer comic, and so far, I loved it. I thought all together that is was a beautifully crafted (story & art) issue. I'm ready to start my Hellblazer collection...
