Farewell Hellblazer, Hello Constantine by dailypop John Constantine was first introduced in the pages of Swamp Thing in 1985. Created by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, John Totleben and Rick Veitch, Constantine was intended to be a 'street-level' magician rather than a superheroic one like Dr Fate. Built on a desire by Bissette and Totleben to include a character who looked like Sting, Constantine became an anti-hero who smoked Silk Cut cigarettes by the carton, drank gin whenever possible and stared down the forces of darkness with a wry grin. Starring in the longest continually running DC Comic outside of Batman and Superman, Hellblazer was cancelled recently... only to be reborn in a New 52 version rightly named Constantine (not to be confused with the Keanu Reeves vehicle that even got the pronunciation of the name wrong). Fans came out in droves to state their displeasure at the news of cancellation, but the sales had been lagging for some time. Maybe a fresh start is the way to go? So long as it pays homage the character and doesn't attempt to modernize him? For those fearful already, the 'New 52' Constantine has already been introduced by Vertigo alum Peter Milligan in the pages of Justice League Dark, a series that new writer Robert Venditti is drawing influence from (along with the oft-overlooked Jamie Delano run). With that kind of backing, I'd say John is in good hands. Via Newsarama: In March, [Robert] Venditti and artist Renato Guedes will be launching Constantine, a new solo series for the character that takes place in the "New 52" DC Universe. And according to the writer, fans of Constantine shouldn't fear that the long-time Vertigo character is going to be drastically different. Younger? Yes. Unmarried? Sure. But otherwise, Venditti says, "I wouldn't say he's all that much different from who John Constantine has always been." John Contantine by Renato Guedes But the move by John Constantine isn't brand new. The DC version of Constantine is already an integral part of the team in Justice League Dark, the ongoing comic now being written by Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes. Venditti, best known as creator of the comic book-turned-movie Surrogates, is also taking over the DC ongoing series Demon Knights with issue #16, working with current artist Bernard Chang. With Constantine, he'll be one of only a few writers who are controlling two ongoing comics in the relaunched DC Universe. Newsarama talked to Venditti to find out more about his plans for John Constantine in the DCU. Newsarama: Robert, are you a John Constantine fan? How did you first come to know the character, and what's your definitive John Constantine story? And do any of those influence your portrayal of the character now? Robert Venditti: I'm a huge fan. Which isn't to say I'm a lifelong fan, because I didn't start reading comics until the year 2000. So much of my experience with comics has been catching up on all of the great characters and stories that predate my discovery of the medium. As a writer, though, I hope that can be an asset because it allows me approach a character as a blank slate. Constantine has had so many great stories, and it's kind of hard to pick a favorite. I do really enjoy the early [Jamie] Delano stuff, though. Those stories were so intelligent and subtextual, and I think they laid the foundation for everything that followed. It's certainly something I aspire to build on. Nrama: What will be the tone of your comic? Is it a detective or crime noir kind of thing? Or more supernatural-based? Or more heroic-feeling? How would you describe it? Venditti: I would say a combination of the first two more than the latter. I mean, Constantine is a lot of things, but he isn't a hero by anyone's standards, least of all his own. He's very much a big-picture guy, and his focus in on the long term. When you're dealing with forces of good and evil that stretch back to the beginning of time itself, you have to be that way. Nrama: How would you describe your John Constantine? Venditti: I wouldn't say he's all that much different from who John Constantine has always been. He's younger and he isn't married, but he's still a bit of a conman and a double-dealer. He's gruff, he likes his whisky and cigarettes, and he absolutely will do whatever he has to do to achieve his desired end. If you're one of the uninitiated and you don't dabble in the dark arts, you probably don't have much to fear from Constantine. He's not interested in tormenting the blissfully unaware. But if you've decided to swim in his waters, then all bets are off. He'll show you no mercy. Nrama: There's usually a bit of humor behind Constantine's dialogue. Are you struggling at all trying to find that voice? Or how did you go about getting it down? Venditti: It's a struggle finding any character's voice, especially one as unique as Constantine's. All you can do as a writer is put yourself in the character's position and try to honestly consider how they'd react to a given situation. What would Constantine say to a gangster who wants a demon for his own personal enforcer? How would he say it differently than I or any other character would? It's a constant learning process. Nrama: How does your artist on the title echo/influence the style you're hoping to achieve and your overall approach to the comic? Venditti: When I was first shown Renato Guedes's work, I immediately thought he'd be a great fit. His characters are very human—you can feel the creases in their faces and the wrinkles in their clothes. And his design for Constantine is the perfect blend of grit and charm, which isn't always an easy thing to pull off. Nrama: Can you set up your first storyline a little for fans, so they can get a sense of the story you'll be telling? Venditti: I can't say too much, but it will be a stand-alone story that establishes who Constantine is and what he's capable of. The issue will also introduce someone who'll be a key member of the supporting cast in the series' first year, a bartender at the pub where Constantine spends a lot of his downtime. dailypop | November 29, 2012 at 2:22 pm | Categories: DC Comics | URL: http://wp.me/p4kUt-4iG Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Fantastic Four #1 by dailypop Fantastic Four #1 By Matt Fraction, Mark Bagley and Mark Farmer The first family of comics, the Fantastic Four was the first big hit of Marvel Comics. The elastic genius Mister Fantastic, his wife the mistress of an unseen force the Invisible Woman, the eternally youthful and rebellious Human Torch and the monstrous Thing. Like most anyone in my generation I knew of the Fantastic Four through numerous cartoons and the like but really became a fan when I borrowed some issues off my brother (broke into his room) and read the John Byrne run. It blew my mind. I had read his work with Claremont on X-Men, but it seemed that the wheels came off for Byrne on the FF. Since then, I have been endlessly hopeful to see the series live up to its moniker 'World's Greatest Comic Magazine.' There are many readers who are much more well-versed in the legacy of the Fantastic Four than I and are familiar with the fluctuating quality and different directions that the series has undergone. The group has been defined by its family status as well as the outlandish ideas and space opera meets fantasy plots. There have been many high watermarks over the years, but in my opinion the previous run by Jonathan Hickman redefined the comic. As such, I was nervous about a new creative team coming in, even when it is Matt Fraction who has made Iron Man, the Defenders, Hawkeye and more must-read titles. The Marvel Now Fantastic Four is a fresh start that picks up from where the previous series dropped off. In Hickman's Fantastic Four, Reed Richards' father arrived from his journeys through space/time to help guide the family through a particularly tough patch. In the revamped title, there is a mixture of family bonding and holding secrets. Reed Richards has discovered that his genetically altered biology is decaying and he cannot fix the problem. Rather than tell his family about this, he announces a massive family trip into the unknown aboard a massive craft operating as a classroom for the Future Foundation. However, Reed's son Franklin has dreamed of a nightmarish vision that he has also kept from the others. Leaving the Earth to the protection of a new FF (who will later premier in their own series), the family once more steps into the mysteries of space and time. In the added AR material, Fraction is brimming with enthusiasm for what should be the coolest, most exciting and innovative comic on the stands. You can see his excitement in every panel as the team exhibits their trademark personalities while also making it feel fresh and new. I have to admit to not being excited by Mark Bagley's artwork in the past, but pairing him with Mark Farmer brings out the strengths in Bagley's pencils. For a first issue, there is not too much to get worked up over, but I am very happy to see that Fraction's Fantastic Four will be an extension of what has come before. The future looks very promising. dailypop | November 27, 2012 at 12:20 pm | Tags: Fantastic Four, mark bagley, marvel now, Matt Fraction | Categories: Fantastic Four | URL: http://wp.me/p4kUt-4ir Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Watchmen is set in the mid-1980s, a time of increased nuclear tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, as Richard Nixon is enjoying his fifth term as president and the world's superheroes have been forcibly retired. (As you can probably tell, the mix of authentic history and alternate reality is heady.) Things begin with a bang: the mysterious high-rise murder of the Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a masked hero with a checkered past, puts the rest of the retired superhero community on alert. The credits sequence, a series of tableaux that wittily catches us up on crime-fighting backstory, actually turns out to be the high point of the movie. Thereafter we meet the other caped and hooded avengers: the furious Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), the inexplicably naked Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup, amidst much blue-skinned, genital-swinging digital work), Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman), Nite Owl II (Patrick Wilson), and Ozymandias (Matthew Goode). The corkscrewing storytelling, which worked well in the comic book, gives the movie the strange sense of never quite getting in gear, even as some of the episodes are arresting. Director Zack Snyder (300) doesn't try to approximate the electric impact of the original (written by Alan Moore--who declined to be credited on the movie--and illustrated by Dave Gibbons) but retains careful fidelity to his source material. That doesn't feel right, even with the generally enjoyable roll-out of anecdotes. Even less forgivable is the blah acting, excepting Jeffrey Dean Morgan (lusty) and Patrick Wilson (mellow). Watchmen certainly fills the eyes, although less so the ears: the song choices are regrettable, especially during an embarrassing mid-air coupling between Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II as they unite their--ah--Roman numerals. In the end it feels as though a huge work of transcription has been successfully completed, which isn't the same as making a full-blooded movie experience. --Robert Horton __________________________________________________________ All Star Western #14 All Star Western #14 By: Justin Gray, Moritat, Ariel Olivetti The Black Diamond continues its journey through DC's history as it shows up in 19th century Gotham.
