Hellblazer: All His Engines

[seank]

We all know the Hellblazer movie is probably going to suck. So spend your money instead (or until?) on the All His Engines GN. I read it over the last two days and it is probably one of the best Hellblazer stories ever. Highly recommended for fans of horror and John Constantine.

 

My rating (out of five): .

I am still a big fan of the "Hard Time" story...awesome.

I picked it up, despite the "Movie Warning". Haven't read it yet, but your recommendation makes me fell better about the purchase.

I passed. I was getting most of the DC Hardcovers until recently but am now passing on them to save a few quid. May have to reconsider this one.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

Regards Earl.

Just read it yesterday. Sean is on the money. A very good Constantine story. I recommend it.

 

Manco's art, at times, is vey Bradstreet-ish. It may just be some of the poses he puts John in.

 

I'm like you, Earl, in that I rarly buy hardcovers (I'm still waiting for the TPB of Planetary Vol. 3 so I can catch up even though there's an HC). I made the exception on this one. I was not disappointed.

I was very tempted on the Absolute Planetary collection especially when Mile High had it on deep discount but passed in the end. I love the production values of Dc’s ‘Absolute’ editions but they sure hurt the wallet.

 

Regards Earl.

How much is the hardcover, ya know I'm a die hard fan but you also know the prices the comic book companies charge for hard bound material.

I think it's $19.95. It may be $24.95. I didn't feel cheated.

 

Regardless, it's infinitely better than "Detective No. 27". What a piece of trash.

I'm glad I skipped "Detective No. 27" then. Perhaps as a service to our fellow members we should post reviews of high-priced books like Det. 27 and Engines more often.

Yep. I'll read the reviews.
