Spent months on this one: The secret history of John Constantine, one of the most revolutionary comics characters of all time — and one whose future is in serious jeopardy.
I interviewed virtually everyone who’s ever written John, and to them, I offer many thanks for their time.
bootsnblossoms have you read this yet? 🙂
AHHHHH!!!! This is a brilliant discussion. Never, we seriously seriously need to start that reread we talked about!!! I mean… ” “The thing is about John is, the last thing you’d want to be is his friend,” he told me.” Yessssss.
But, let’s be honest. Despite everything, I’m still gonna watch the show. You know already that I’m one of the fans that took a huge step back when I realized the character wouldn’t be a smoker/wouldn’t be queer. And not just because I’m constantly wishing for decent representation (a queer magical, kick ass character?!?!!! yes please!!!). But the show runners were so fucking dismissive, it didn’t bode well for any character points that they simply didn’t like. What fan would trust a team like that with their favorite characters?

Still in for that reread. 🙂
