I like a good comic book or graphic novel. It was interesting to read this one after watching the Keanu Reeves movie based on the main character. Not surprizingly the book's better. I'm interested in reading more of the series, this was just enough to get me hooked. Recommended for mature readers interested in the occult.
Still swirling around something big that happened so long ago with echoes years later. A cute almost one off about scamming the Vatican. So, there is that.
Tomo 3 de 3 en edición española.
I haven't read Hellblazer in 2-3 years, but I picked this up on a whim when I saw it at my library. Some titles are just constant in what you expect from them and with a series like Hellblazer that's often a good thing. Your typical Hellblazer story is this:1. A demon and/or a human is playing with dark magic that will really mess things up.2. Constantine finds out about it.3. Constantine might get beat up a bit, but in the end he does something really, really clever to take the bad guys down.4....
Andy Diggle'i viimane. Constantine vaatab tõtt enda sündimata kaksikvennaga, kes manipuleerib kavalalt teistpoolt kogu ta elu. Keskmine Hellblazeri tase.
This volume was both awesome, and also a little, well, silly. For the awesome part, we see a really cool two parter where Constantine has to acquire a special book from the special black library of the Vatican. Really cool ideas and plot in this one.Then we lead into the main story of the volume. I'm not a big fan of retconning, and in a way this story seemed like heavy retconning as we learn Constantine has been manipulated almost since the first time we saw him. The story itself is cool, and I...
7/10
been reading this in issue format. some interesting ideas, and andy seems to have found his stride.
Constantine finally gets even. this volume ties together all the loose ends from like two prior volumes. Remarkable end but jeez, is Constantine a bastard doing his twin like that.
Touche, Mr. Diggle. Touche, indeed.With "Roots of Coincidence," writer Andy Diggle's run on HELLBLAZER comes to its inevitable end, as does the mystery regarding where in the world Diggle meant to take us, John Constantine, and the title itself along the way...and perhaps akin to the sort of bait & switch subterfuge that Diggle cut his teeth with on THE LOSERS, "Roots of Coincidence" is a fine (and final) treat from the exiting writer.Don't misunderstand: Reviews of Diggle's previous work on HEL...
So. The verdict on this volume (which, like the last, I reread in floppy form), and by extension my verdict on the Diggle run... Well, it's been a few days since I finished rereading this, actually, and I read most of Carey's and parts of Milligan's run in between to boot, and it's all beginning to run into one a bit, which isn't entirely Diggle's fault, to be fair, but rather a side-effect of my overdosing on Hellblazer at the moment. And yet. There are some general issues with all, or most, of...
A solid end to Diggle's Hellblazer, nicely bookending the series and showing Constantine at his best.

Now that's Constantine.The Mortification of the Flesh - great art- interesting interpretation of a scandal- how John defeated the demon- and an even more interesting twist.The Roots of Coincidence- for me the previous one's art and story were better- but the "twist" or "roots" was deeper, reminded me a little of Twilight Zone and Sandman.
Well that was a quick resolution to the problem with Mako; I was fully expecting it to get drawn out over at least three volumes, so I feel a bit cheated. Make quite conveniently constructed his own downfall by creating a self-contained universe for his ally and underestimating Constantine's power. Even against a mage who had harnessed so much magic, all John had to do was to wait until he was inside the soul-world and sever the connection to his body. Slightly convenient, but sometimes the simp...
Le sobra el epílogo para mi gusto, sino le caerían casi 5 estrellas a la etapa de Diggle. A ver como lo retoma Milligan.
4.5 starsI have no idea if this was a great conclusion to the story arc, but I really enjoyed it!And I almost didn't read it.Because when I got it, the first thing I did was thumb through the pages to check out the art.Ick. Not my taste at all. So I set it down, and promptly forgot all about it till I got a reminder from my library that it was due back soon.So I picked it up again.Yep...it's still got ugly art.Buuuut...it looks short.Ok. I'll read it.Whoa! I couldn't put it down!Sometimes you go...
Everything Andy Diggle has been building up to comes to an end in this volume and Constantine is finally back on his game. First he steals a rare book from the Vatican library with the help of a succubus, then he exhumes the remains of Saint Nicholas (that's right, Santa Claus) and smuggles them back to England in order to finally deal with Mako and Lord Burnham. We then finally learn why Constantine hasn't been as effective as he usually is.This volume omits the "Newcastle Calling" story-line i...
The first story was good, yet predictable, and the rest was crap.
With Hellblazer running into the 100's now in it's series, I thought the book would become stale, despite the myriad possibilities inherent in the basic plot. This was true of a few writers' work on the book, but leave it to Andy Diggle to complety turn me back onto Constantine. Quick stories here which contain as muchMyth, wit and magic as u could ask for. Both stories read as if they were a part of a Ray Bradbury story collection, with Diggle's knack for dialogue and scripting. The artwork is
