    What about the people who were the current creative/editorial team?

    ...And does Mr. Goddanm Batman says so much as ''Thanks''? OF COURSE not. That'd hardly be GRIM AND GRITTY, would it?

    Perhaps, perhaps but with this ending you can have different interpretations :p

    So do you guys think Hellblazer is coming back? Because that ending left it pretty open.

    Man, I don't want to be that type of fan but it's kind of saddening that the last issue of Hellblazer is getting this little fanfare. I guess I overvalued the size of it's fandom.

    Well if the fandom was bigger, it wouldn't have been cancelled :p

    I have seen some people online speculate the ending re-booted John's life, so that what we saw at the end is John if he had never been involved in the occult. That explains the befuddled look on his face and his un-John clothes. I have no idea where they came up with this idea though.

    I would love that, but as much as John Constantine is my favorite comic book character I don't want them to bring him back. I would be cool if it starred Gemma, Epiphany or maybe Finn.

    The needle is supposed to bring torment. What worse torment for John Constantine than having a regular, boring life? It's the same conclusion I came up with.

    That ending left it pretty open for it to happen, and a lot was left on the air, Epiphany and Gemma's story lines are still unresolved. Felt more like the ending of his run than the end of a series. Maybe they left it open for a possible return but seeing the little people seem to care this might be the last of it. Not a great ending, imo, but that's what we got.

    It makes more sense when you explain it like that. With the writers and editors being there, one could almost surmise that John had been exiled to the "real world", a terrible fate for him, but one that does allow him to cheat death one last time.

    The end chapter seemed so forced. Fates decided he dies, he plays some tricks and says bye to his wife then goes off.
    Why the fates as opponents? Why leave so many plotlines open and no resolving of his marriage/death?
    The ending sucked in my opinion, but it is what we got :P

    I think he was trying to leave it open for Hellblazer to come back as a Vol 2 or something, basically ending his run with the hope that some day a new one will follow.

    Once again, doubtful seeing the bummingly little amount of interest people seem to have for it.
