Hellblazer

A short-lived but potent revival of the classic supernatural horror series, this 2002–2004 run from Brainstore saw John Constantine navigating a new decade of occult threats. Published under the Vertigo imprint and most notably written by Mike Carey, the ten-issue series deepened the character's weary cynicism while weaving intricate, morally complex tales of magic and consequence. It matters as a focused, critically respected chapter that bridged the original Hellblazer saga into the 2000s, showcasing Carey's deft handling of the iconic anti-hero.
