Constantine - i guess while i am posting about Sin City, it might be an idea to mention Constantine as well. The trailer for this adaptation of Hellblazer as being doing the rounds, frustratingly the only trailers i have seen are streaming, which is bloody useless really. In a piece of casting i think most folk will find curious, Keanu Reaves takes the lead role of John Constantine, with Rachel Weisz also featuring. Hellblazer is one of those titles i actually avoided for years, a mix of art that i didn't like, and at least one run in with someone who was raving about it to a degree that based solely on their recommendation of how good it was i was avoiding it like the plague. Funny how some folk can have that effect. Regardless, i actually did start reading Hellblazer a couple of years ago - a run by the team behind 100 Bullets caught my eye, and having just in the last month re-read that whole run its not really susprising that i found myself enjoying it. Constantine is rugged, unshaven, chain smoking brit, dressing in ruffled trench coat, who likes a pint; he is also something of a magician, trickster, and all round bit of a bastard. A classic anti-hero.
