HellBlazer – Rare Cuts

Panagiotis — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 23:08:26 +0000

At first I hesitated. It looked old, non-colorful and too cult to be pleasant. I got the first volume (actually, there is no reading order) Original Sins. Horrific, stylish and anti-superhero. JC (John Constantine, do not jump into conclusions) was really the guy you love-to-hate or hate to admit that you love.

I finished it in one go. Man, that’s what I love about comics. They can be swallowed smoothly in no time! But this… This was more than smooth, so the last page left me begging for more. “So what’s next?” Tough question! HB has no actual reading order so, I was looking for the next TPB to get.

So, Rare Cuts! Imagine having Constantine penned by Delano, Morrison and Ennis in the same book! So after some search I finally got it from BetterWorldBooks.com

I read half of it and I just stopped to blog about it (and check the new WordPress BlackBerry App)

So stay tuned for more…
