Haven't watched a second of this yet and I already know Tiffany is gonna make me want this book.

[@Cull_Obsidian]

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!

[@laylaelliott842]

Carey was definitely one of the best writers on Hellblazer!

[@themadmattster9647]

Carey's run was good. Also liked Andy Diggle's short run too, kind of went back to basics

When Tiffany hosts, there's an 80% chance I would cry. This is one of them.

[@Samael_Morningstar666]

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

[@TheRealZubes]

That was mentioned....at the end I think. I can't remember if we talked about during the show or after!

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!

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!

[@matiasmendoza9274]

I'm glad that apparently only Constantine can materialize in the real world and meet his writers. Can you imagine if Darkseid did that?

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.

[@comicthom123]

Those 300 vertigo issues are my personal favourite comic run of all time.

[@cha5]

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.

[@Iceteague1]

Yes! My favorite HellBlazer story, Garth Ennis story, and one of my favorite comics ever!

[@JoshMunroe]

51:37 "Yeah, he's transforming into a corpse." That deadpan delivery was amazing.

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.

[@HollowGolem]

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).

"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.
