Two things I love about Hellblazer: firstly the writers (especially Mike Carey) use real London locations and not the obvious ones. You’d have to know the city, and it’s places I’ve lived or travel regularly. Gives you the feeling like you might actually walk into him! Also in the last Vertigo issue it turns out most of his magic is just made up junk. He’s just so confident and ballsy even demons believe it. I’ve been watching since the beginning of Back Issues and have been wanting a Hellblazer arc from the start. So thank you for doing this!
21:00 nurgle is the god of disease in Mesopotamian mythology, he’s also the god of disease and decay in warhammer 40k and Billy’s demonic uncle in the grim adventure of billy and Mandy
During a livestream once I asked Sal if we would ever see Hellblazer on Back Issues. He said it was on the schedule and it would be out in the next few months... That was 2 years ago. But it’s better late than never!
You guys should do either more The Sandman or do Swamp Thing Fun Fact: Preacher actually started off as a Constantine concept before they spun it off into its own story
Future Spooktaculars for this year: Marvel Ruins Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness DCeased Unkillables Batman: Haunted Knight Spooky What-Ifs (The Good The Bad & The Ugly)
That zoom in on Sal @31:58 trying to pronounce is the story of my life! Solid episode! I hope to see more hellblazer on back issues down the road y’all!
Dangerous Habits has always been one of my favorite comic story lines from it’s beginning to that final panel of John and Kit hugging each other in the rain, Ennis has done a lot since then but his Hellblazer run is still a personal favorite of mine.
Neil Gaiman says he met Chrononzon (the demon who stole Dream’s helm in the first volume of Sandman) at a parade in the 90s. So I guess it’s a Vertigo thing.
Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits? HELL YEAH!!!! One of my favorite Hellblazer Storylines and one of the few Garth Ennis stories I'd actually read next to his run of the Punisher.
Thank you Tiffany. I was reading this alongside the episode and you made a lot of elements clear to me that I wouldn't habe been able to understand. This is my first hellblazer so it was very welcome
More Hellblazer please. He’s my absolute favorite and there’s like 27 collected trades at this point with some memorable stories. I appreciate Tiffany taking on this character. ♥️
This was a long time coming. One of my favorite episodes. I can't wait for you guys to do the second Volume of Immortal Hulk and the new Maestro solo book. Keep bringing thw quality conent.
I love this spooky Back Issues month idea. Absolute Carnage would be fun, Swamp Thing, Marvel's Zombies, Morbius, Werewolf by Night, (maybe some more Sandman)? One can only hope.
Whoah, just caught the Newcastle bit at 20:00 and in case anyone's curious, Newcastle is where Sting was born IRL. So that's probably a part of the Sting tie-in lore (his albums _Soul Cages_ and _The Last Ship_ are both heavily about growing up in Newcastle as the shipbuilding industry there died and left the local economy brutalized).
Is John Constantine just a lovecraftian entity? You accidentally wish it into existence? Also these's this amazing episode of The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy who did this books ending.
Always a great way to start my Wednesday! Really wanting to pick this one up now, meant to earlier this year but things got wonkey with the pandemic. Love the content and i will be picking this one up this week.
The way that John was acting like he was going to die, keeping it hidden until the very end so no one watching caught on.. and then the three highest tier ‘Fallen’ all come to collect him and are stuck in legal limbo, a perfect way to have it be in continuity and keep him alive ‘for now’
Oh dear Sal, your excitement is so palpable. And Ethan, keep being vaguely interested in until the bass drops. It's a good strategy 🤣 Quick question, is Tiffany into webtoons? Since a lot of ppl are now going back and looking at the likes of Bastard & the Chiller series.
"Pot makes you lazy." For me personally totally agree. Its why I forced myself to take a long break from it a week ago. Really cleared my head, the main thing is to not smoke during the day I think. Also worth mentioning Ive had some really neat writing ideas while high. Some really silly but others have been awesome!
I would love there to be a book where Constantine is cursed with a spell that always gets him into trouble and that’s why he’s always involved in stories he wouldn’t normally be involved in. Just so we can have Constantine in more things. Especially Batman stories.
I've seen people who are like john or who looks like him - but I do want want an issue where John does run into some people who've written him as cameos
Ah, it's that time of year again, when Tiffany is at the height of her powers.
Best part of 2020
A gift to us all.
The most underrated comment I've heard on this channel of the many years of watching.
True
John Constantine: Friendship is Magic
Twilight Sparkles: Up yours.
Here you are again
Right
Tiffany hosting? Hellblazer? Dangerous Habits? YES
RIGHT?!?
There's something so genuine about Tiffany episodes, especially with Sal as a passenger. You can tell she's so anxious. 🤣
Right

I remember once asking for a Tiffany hosted Back Issues episode of Dangerous Habits on the ComicPOP Facebook group, and I can’t believe it’s here now!
Haven't watched a second of this yet and I already know Tiffany is gonna make me want this book.

Carey was definitely one of the best writers on Hellblazer!
Me to
Carey's run was good. Also liked Andy Diggle's short run too, kind of went back to basics

Awww
When Tiffany hosts, there's an 80% chance I would cry.
This is one of them.
Constantine with prep > Batman with prep
HELL YES, HELLBLAZER. I woke up not feeling so hot, and now I'm stoked for the next hour and change. Thanks Tiffany, Sal, and Ethan!

You guys should do either more The Sandman or do Swamp Thing
Fun Fact: Preacher actually started off as a Constantine concept before they spun it off into its own story
That was mentioned....at the end I think. I can't remember if we talked about during the show or after!
Right
@@TheRealZubes hey, Tiff! Would you be so kind to do some new episodes about oldschool games? Pretty please...!!
Future Spooktaculars for this year:
Marvel Ruins
Marvel Zombies vs Army of Darkness
DCeased Unkillables
Batman: Haunted Knight
Spooky What-Ifs (The Good The Bad & The Ugly)
Haunted Knight would be cool, but a little short.
I don't think Ruins is spooky, it is just nihilistic. The other suggestions are greath, hto.
They should do Simon dark for Halloween
This !
@@bacsilva You may be right, but it's still dark😎👍
That zoom in on Sal @31:58 trying to pronounce is the story of my life! Solid episode! I hope to see more hellblazer on back issues down the road y’all!
@42:55 lol, love you guys
Am i the only one who loves when tiffany leads the episode??? Its like she sat the kids down and shes gonna read us a scary story lol.
I’m hoping John is playable in the injustice 3 game
I'd pay full price just for that, Watchmen be damned
His finisher is him standing by while the other fighter just dies in a gruesomely tragic way due to being in his presence for long enough.
@@gideon5386 lol
Yes, been waiting for Hellblazer on back issues for so long
I was genuinely impressed Ethan knows about Liverpool and Manchester United
The intro music was amazing for this episode. I hope we see more spooktacular back issues hosted by Tiffany and more Hellblazer in the future.
Those 300 vertigo issues are my personal favourite comic run of all time.
Dangerous Habits has always been one of my favorite comic story lines from it’s beginning to that final panel of John and Kit hugging each other in the rain, Ennis has done a lot since then but his Hellblazer run is still a personal favorite of mine.
I'm glad that apparently only Constantine can materialize in the real world and meet his writers. Can you imagine if Darkseid did that?
. . . or Paste Pot Pete! Grant Morrison talks about tripping and meeting Metron, but I kinda don't count that.
@@joezilla6615 Morrison talks about going to the Fourth World when he's high
5 bucks says grant morrison has either a chaos magic or acid trip induced story about meeting darkseid in real life
Neil Gaiman says he met Chrononzon (the demon who stole Dream’s helm in the first volume of Sandman) at a parade in the 90s. So I guess it’s a Vertigo thing.
@@MorriganReads it's alcoholic british thing
Yes! My favorite HellBlazer story, Garth Ennis story, and one of my favorite comics ever!
This video made me subscribe. I guess the TH-cam algorithm somehow knew of my love for Hellblazer. Do more Vertigo titles! The best!
Welcome and thank you for checking us out!!!
It’s nice to see Sal sit back and enjoy it 😂
51:37 "Yeah, he's transforming into a corpse." That deadpan delivery was amazing.
Yes, finally! One of my favorite characters for a long time
Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits? HELL YEAH!!!! One of my favorite Hellblazer Storylines and one of the few Garth Ennis stories I'd actually read next to his run of the Punisher.
Sal is just so excited this episode. He is just waving hands and having expressions i love that!
Sal referencing an anime? This truly is a magical episode.
Finally!! My favorite Hellblazer story. Love seeing Tiffany lead this episode. Can't wait for more spooky Back Issues the rest of this month.
My love for this channel grows every second.
My too
Tiffany has introduced me to so many amazing books. I'm always so stoked on her episodes.
transforming into a corpse. spits lil beer out, laughs hysterically. another banger episode, good yob tiff.
ComicPop Back Issues on Constantine, especially THIS story!! Now THIS is how I want to spend my October!
1:40 Tifany fumbling over herself and saying "we'll get there in a minute" - Yeah her and Sal have definitely known each other for a long time :D
Thank you Tiffany. I was reading this alongside the episode and you made a lot of elements clear to me that I wouldn't habe been able to understand. This is my first hellblazer so it was very welcome
You already had my like at the title.
And then when you think it cannot get any better...you see it´s Hellblazer in Tiffany´s hands!
Thanks for doing a hellblazer story! You guys are the best!
More Hellblazer please. He’s my absolute favorite and there’s like 27 collected trades at this point with some memorable stories. I appreciate Tiffany taking on this character. ♥️
Been waiting for you guys to cover Hellblazer. Thank you.
That vietnam issue from original sin was soooo good and so haunting
I 'm reading the hellblazer series i finished the Delano run so you got me to jump ahead and i'm so happy to see hellblazer on the couch thanks
Awesome job on the mic Tiffany. Sal and Ethan really got into it too. Great start to Spooky Season guys!
4:49 gives me joy 😂
This was a long time coming. One of my favorite episodes. I can't wait for you guys to do the second Volume of Immortal Hulk and the new Maestro solo book. Keep bringing thw quality conent.
I will never not crack up at the “What do you mean you people?” joke 😆 thank you Sal
John Constantine just might be my favorite character in the DC universe
same
I love this spooky Back Issues month idea. Absolute Carnage would be fun, Swamp Thing, Marvel's Zombies, Morbius, Werewolf by Night, (maybe some more Sandman)? One can only hope.
Hell Yeah! Werewolf By Night needs more love.
I have waited for this day my entire life
This was an awesome episode. Tiffany is a great host, and this is a great Constantine story. Thanks for everything you guys do!
Love that Tiffany addressed Swamp thing out the gate. Love Constantine as much Been considering buying this tpb!
What’s crazy about this story for me is when I was reading I initially I didn’t know if John would live since he had nothing to live or fight for.
An entire month of potentially Tiffany episodes with a spooky vibe? Sign me the fuck up!
Another solid Tiffany led episode. Always look forward to them. Appreciate the solid analysis and attention to detail!
My first Hellblazer story I've read. Got hooked but just took the initiative to read it all years later.
Every time I hear Haelstorms "Here's to Us" I think about John's toast to everyone and himself.
Whoah, just caught the Newcastle bit at 20:00 and in case anyone's curious, Newcastle is where Sting was born IRL. So that's probably a part of the Sting tie-in lore (his albums _Soul Cages_ and _The Last Ship_ are both heavily about growing up in Newcastle as the shipbuilding industry there died and left the local economy brutalized).

What perfect timing. I just got this in the mail from eBay.
Eyyyy this is one of my all time favorites!!
Great video. You guys should definitely do more of early Hellblazer, Sandman and other Vertigo stuff.
The way that John was acting like he was going to die, keeping it hidden until the very end so no one watching caught on.. and then the three highest tier ‘Fallen’ all come to collect him and are stuck in legal limbo, a perfect way to have it be in continuity and keep him alive ‘for now’
that intro threw my the fuck off lmao. I was anticipating the usual and was like "HUH!?!?"
Appreciated the spooky intro music!!
Oh dear Sal, your excitement is so palpable. And Ethan, keep being vaguely interested in until the bass drops. It's a good strategy 🤣

Love the theme for this episode, totally sets the tone
i love hearing people from the us saying things i know like they're new things: Newcastle, liverpool etc
Love this story so much. Thanks guys.
Delano set the tone and set it well. "Going For It" is one of my favorites.
So I'll just be watching this on loop for the next few days. Hopefully this isn't the last of John we'll see on back issues.
Yes yes yes, love the dialogue, love the monologues, love John.
When Tiffany mentioned "I did it my way", I couldn't help but think of the Frank Sinatra song with the same name.
Or the Sid Vicious version. ;-)
got to love hellblazer, such human characters
Yaaayyy one of my absolute favorite comic books!!! Looking forward to Tiffany breaking it down.
"Hold Me" is one of the best, if not the best Constantine story I've read.
I’m British and I’m pretty sure we all pronounce it ConstanTEEN aswell.
im about 3 volumes in with these new DC Hellblazer collections! Can't wait to catch up to this point
Hellblazer is one of the all time greatest comics. Time for my annual mourning of Vertigo
Literally just saw Sal's tweet, hype
Hellblazer is magnificent. Would LOVE to see a new film starring Matt Ryan!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I'm going through the entire 300 issue Hellblazer run and just finished this
Amazing episode as always!
LOVING THE NEW MUSIC INTRO
I always thought it was called Hellblazer because of the jacket.
It's a hell of a blazer.
I would love there to be a book where Constantine is cursed with a spell that always gets him into trouble and that’s why he’s always involved in stories he wouldn’t normally be involved in. Just so we can have Constantine in more things. Especially Batman stories.
Yes I remember the panel where Constantine fathered a two headed seal from a fever dream
Ive seen this episode so many times, tiffany has the best back issues
I've seen people who are like john or who looks like him - but I do want want an issue where John does run into some people who've written him as cameos
This is actually amazing might have to pick this up
I'm just gonna say it. Matt Ryan as Constantine is as perfect a casting as RDJ for Tony.
The Falcons qb?
@@karsten128 matt ryan the actor might get a better completion percentage than matt ryan the qb tbh
Damn right!
In the absence of actually casting Sting, Matt Ryan is a good second choice. 😉
Omg, the new spooktacular back issues opening song is 🔥🔥🔥. Sal, did you make that?!
Not gonna lie, that intro. Pretty spooky
