“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares are still walking.”

Constantine - The Hellblazer Collection features the official comics adaption of the supernatural thriller Constatntine. Also featured are three classics Hellblazer stories by Neil Gaiman, Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis.

I really enjoyed reading this collection because it begins with an insightful introduction by Michael Bonner on the story of Constantine. From there is the official movie adaption, it was awesome to see Keanu Reeves in this comic as he was on screen.

The story “Hold Me” was written by Neil Gaiman and centres around a man who smells so vile but walks around asking to be held. Constantine happens to stumble across this man and uncover the mystery about his appearance and those involved. Illustrated by Dave McKean, it is a dark look into the day to day of John Constantine.

This was such a fun read and reminds me to get back to The Hellblazer series.
