I already have a long established RevolutionSF blog called The Culture<\/a> where I record my thoughts on the comics books I read. This new one will have a slightly different focus.<\/p>\n

I have been collecting comics on and off for the last 30 years or so and there are a number of series that I would like to re-read – mainly from the eighties and nineties. Most of these will be from Vertigo but there are others from DC, Marvel and 2000AD that I would like to read too. So I will record these readings here separate from my main blog.<\/p>\n

The final spur to actually do this is the news from DC that the only ongoing title throughout Vertigo’s 20 years of existence, John Constantine, Hellblazer<\/em>, is to end with issue 300 and move back to DC as part of the New 52. Like most fanboys, my views on this change<\/a> are not entirely positive but the closing out of the series on Vertigo means that now is probably a good time to go back and revisit the series as I have been meaning to do for some time.<\/p>\n

So all things John Constantine will be my first focus. I will look at some of his appearances in Swamp Thing<\/em> before moving onto his own series and the associated spin-off series that he also appeared in. I will probably not start before December so you have time to dig out your old back issues if you want to join in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
