Constantine (001-021 & extra) (2013-ongoing)

Constantine is an ongoing comic book series published by DC Comics, which started in March 2013. It follows the story of a British magician, John Constantine and replaces the former Vertigo Comics title Hellblazer, which ended with its 300th issue after 25 years, in February 2013. The title character was originally created by Alan Moore in his 1980s run on Swamp Thing.



On November 8, 2012, DC announced that its long running series, Hellblazer would be canceled following its 300th issue, and would be replaced by Constantine written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Renato Guides. This has since been changed to an opening team including Animal Man and Sweet Tooth writer Jeff Lemire as a co-plotter, with Ray Fawkes scripting the book. Both writers also worked on Justice League Dark, where Constantine is heavily featured. Constantine had been reintroduced to the DC Universe as part of The New 52 initiative to relaunch all their titles with new first issues as the leader of Justice League Dark, and had appeared in most of their 'dark' titles, including Animal Man and I, Vampire. The character will be the 'younger' incarnation seen in recent DC titles, rather than the version from the cancelled title, depicted as being in his early 60s.
