Review features spoilers
Written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Will Simpson, the
six-issue story arc “Dangerous Habits” kicked off Ennis’ lengthy run on the
Hellblazer title after taking over for the title's first writer Jamie Delano.
(Full disclosure: I am an unabashed
Garth Ennis fanboy. Everything he’s done that I’ve read I’ve
loved. Doesn’t mean I ignore his faults, which he has, or try to blindly defend
some of the reasons people don’t care for him.) The arc is seen as one of the
major stories associated with John Constantine (pronounced in the comics so
that it rhymes with dine) and that’s saying some for a character who was first
created nearly thirty years ago by Alan Moore and writers from Moore, Ennis, Azzerello, Morrison, and
Ellis have written him at some point since.
