Hellblazer a day 212, by Carey & Manco. Who wins? John and the First of the Fallen do. Mostly the Devil though. Not sure I like the ending, but there's a couple Carey issues left.
November 10, 2025 at 9:50 PM
Hellblazer a day 211, by Carey & Manco. Just when I think John's been to much on the back foot, he steps up. Rosacarnis will need help to beat her father Nergal. Deal with John Constantine or die.
November 9, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Hellblazer a day 210, by Carey & Manco. More Nergal backstory as he & John get closer to his domain and hopefully to Gemma. Only 5 Carey issues left.
November 8, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Hellblazer a day 209, by Carey & Manco. We get to see some events from earlier in the series through Nergal & Rosacarnis's perspective.
November 7, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Hellblazer a day 208, by Carey & Manco. Nergal & John travel to hell and have to confront the part of John he left in hell. John has to let Nergal possess him like he did Chas. So good. God this run is ending soon. Nooooo.
November 6, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Hellblazer a day 207, by Carey & Manco. John & Nergal traverse limbo on their way to hell. So hard right now reading one issue a day. Carey's run is so fucking good.
November 5, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Hellblazer a day 206, by Mike Carey & Guiseppe Camuncoli. What a team. I'm not a huge fan of really REALLY bad shit happening to Chas. Nergal has made things bubble up to the surface. This was a hard read.

Hellblazer a day 205, by Carey & Manco. Gemma doesn't need saving, she's a Constantine through and through. So whose possessing Chas? Yeah it's fucking Nergal!!
November 3, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Hellblazer a day 204, by Carey & Manco. John & possessed Chas save Angie while it looks like Gemma is on a date with death. Sigh. I'm loving this.
November 2, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Hellblazer a day 203, by Carey & Manco. John doesn't want to play another game. Thinks he's old and done. An entity possess Chas to give John the nudge he needs. One of his offspring is going after Gemma.

Warhammer Saturday with Charity.
October 31, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Hellblazer a day 202, by Carey & Manco. Reasons To Be Cheerful begins. The three devil spawn of John's are going after his friends.
October 31, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Charity has been showing curiosity about Warhammer. Especially painting them. I wasn't sure she was serious, but today she became a heretic.

Hellblazer a day: All His Engines, by Mike Carey & Leonardo Manco. This is exactly the OGN you give to people who are Constantine curious. Con man, magician, total bastard, best bros with Chas Chandler. Satisfying demon slaying & quite a few references for long time readers. The pages flew by.
October 30, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Hellblazer a day 201, by Mike Carey & Leonardo Manco. Amazing issue. Junkies steal shit from John's weird lock up and bad, baaaaad shit starts happening to them. Great done in one issue and my goodness Manco is good.

Hellblazer a day: Papa Midnite 5 by Johnson & Akins. This was a solid mini. Some great biting commentary in this issue. Not essential reading though.
October 28, 2025 at 9:32 PM
Hellblazer a day: Papa Midnite 4, by Johnson & Akins. We find out for sure how Papa lives. John gets to go with him on a history tour. This takes place when John was gathering magicians against the Shadow Dog.
October 28, 2025 at 4:34 AM
Hellblazer a day: Papa Midnite 3, by Johnson & Adkins. Papa Midnite in the past seems to have taken up the cause. Modern day Midnite has pissed off a gang and they hired a magician to take him out. Enter John Constantine.
October 27, 2025 at 3:30 AM
Hellblazer a day: Papa Midnite 2, by Mat Johnson & Tony Akins. We learn how Papa's sister died and how he got his immortality.
October 25, 2025 at 11:36 PM
Hellblazer a day, Papa Midnite 1, by Mat Johnson & Tony Akins. So Papa isn't dead? I this was a cool issue looking back at Papa's history. He will swindle and con anyone to get ahead, even slaves.
October 24, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Hellblazer a day 200, by Carey, Dillon, Frusin & Manco. Rosacarnis gets her day with John's body & he lives three lives. In each he raises an evil child. Rosacarnis is going to use them to fuck with the world & break John. John now has his memories and this means war!
October 23, 2025 at 10:32 PM
Phillip Kennedy Johnson has done the impossible. He's made me like Damien Wayne. Batman and Robin is tremendous.
October 23, 2025 at 9:36 AM
Hellblazer a day 198, by Carey & Frusin. Ghant the old bone magician that Gemma defeated has started a cult. He's also started an auction for John involving a lot of demons.
