Hellblazer Ends, CONSTANTINE Begins - In The DCU!

As for Ellis being a younger Moore: the thing about Ellis I always noticed most strongly was the strong technology/science-fiction aspects to his work (not all work), while Moore always felt more poetic/story based.

Maybe I haven't read enough by Edgington, but from what I read he always seemed to be a lesser Warren Ellis like Daniel Way originally was trying really hard to be Garth Ennis.

Has Daniel Way broken out from that yet? It's been a while since I've read his work, but what I have read was so blatantly Ennis-lite.

Then again maybe it's a side-effect of working with Steve Dillon. The same thing happened to Jason Aaron on Punishermax (though strangely Aaron was aping Ennis's Marvel Knights Punisher rather than his Punishermax).

Last I read from Way was some of his early Deadpool, which didn't seem very Ennis to me, but some aspects of it perhaps.

Why not get Garth Ennis to do this new series? We could have had a new Hitman on our hands.

That would have been a great idea, it would have given the book the cred it needs and Ennis knows how to work around the red tape.

Not apropos of much, but he shared an amusing tidbit at Baltimore Comicon recently where he apparently stumbled across a JLD cover where Constantine was "doing the [thing with hands] old dabracadabra shit" and e-mailed it to Jamie Delano for a sick, albiet friendly laugh.

That said, he would never go back to DC, and I don't blame him. He doesn't really fit.

Yep.

Yep.

Which issue is that? I haven't seen him do any abracadabra like hand gestures on any of the covers, and I have the whole series.

Sometimes comic fans baffle me. Utterly utterly baffle me. You like Constantine? Interested in a solo series? It's called Hellblazer and it's been going since 1988. You could have been reading it this whole time. I know there's naughty words and the like, but it's really very good, I promise.

Yeah, people saying ''I like Constantine, but didn't want to read Hellblazer, so this is good news to me!'' are the worst.
