John inadvertently encounters a serial killer and there's a game of cat and mouse between the two of them as they try and hunt each other down. I was disappointed in both stories given both writers' pedigrees. There's a few other Delano one issue stories, none of which thrilled me. Af The main thrust of these stories is The Family Man. It's boring and meandering, circling any kind of point for pages and pages with flowery exposition. Just get to the Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 point. Aug 14, Antonomasia rated it it was amazing Shelves: britishsffdecadesdecades, comics-and-graphic-novelshorror. After all, common though they may be in crime fiction, it is a break from John Constantine's usual manor, the supernatural. But it wasn't just that, it was the way the story was woven around him, fitting the character's world and what we know of him, while also introducing new features of his backstory. Ergo 5 stars. Right from the first Constantine storylines in Alan Moore's Swamp Thinghe's been a protagonist who evidently has a whole life going on beyond the page. We just read some highlights. The main device used to create this impression is that Constantine already knows so many people the reader has either never seen him with before existing characters in the DC universe in or who are newly introduced to the story. As Constantine's mates tend to come a cropper fairly quickly once they are drawn into a case, the writer has to keep inventing new, interesting characters all the time, who are nonetheless not new to JC himself. One of my favourites among these even if he has been doing something truly dreadful is eccentric antiques-warehouse owner and general wheeler-dealer Gerry in issue Based in Northampton, with a big beard like a wizard from a fantasy story, a larger-than-life chap on whom a number of his writer acquaintances have based fictional characters, I get the Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 that in Gerry, Jamie Delano was saying in recursive metafictional fashion, "this is what it feels like being friends with Alan Moore". And because of Moore, who recommended Delano to write HellblazerDelano Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 up on quite an epic mission - as, in a more troubling and hazardous way, JC does because of Gerry. The panoramas of Gerry's antique storage rooms and accounts books are delightful, like a puzzle game to spot as many Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 to mythology, classic stories and late 20th century current affairs as you can. And I think Jasper Fforde owes Delano an apology, at least. The characters from classic novels policing Gerry - a man who, by being featured, thinly disguised in too many novels, has the line between real life and fiction - read like something straight out of the Thursday Next series. The first book in which was published over ten years after this comic. The conceit is more amusing here too - speaking as one of those who thought it wore thin when used for entire novels - it was perfect for a few pages of a comic. Fforde's novels are even, likewise, based in a notoriously humdrum English locale Swindon known to the rest of the country chiefly for business correspondence and train stations. And, not Fforde, but what reused the 'convention for serial killers' idea found later in this story? One of the many little things I like about Delano's Constantine is the character's ambivalent relationship with the world of what would now be called normies. Just as a usage of the word "cloying" sparked, for me, a disproportionate glow of recognition in an earlier issue in The Fear Machine I think, so here with his describing as "tacky" a series of entries for a putative TV show about 'Britain's Happiest Families'. This is not his world, and the examples shown on earlier pages by Delano are rather suffocating and written for an audience who'd find them that way. Regardless, letting someone get away with murdering them - as does the serial killer of the title, 'The Family Man' - is utterly unacceptable to JC and so he has to get on with stopping him. And because JC is not police, it isn't that old thing of 'serial killer taunts police' that has happened thousands more times in fiction than it ever did IRL, it's a Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 battle of wits between two shady characters. My only complaint is that the conclusion creates another potential loose end. An awful lot of loose ends build up around Constantine. However, I've never read this many serial comics before, and mostly read standalone litfic and classics, so perhaps that's simply characteristic of the form, and they have a purpose as potential inspiration for future writers. Although Delano's 'Family Man' storyline is interrupted for three issues by guest stories from other writers, and that seems to frustrate some readers of this collected edition, I was glad to read the comics in original release order here, and for me it also created extra suspense. I can't believe this is the first time I've read something by Grant Morrison. He's such a familiar name, and one of those writers who's been in the background of my life for so long, that this is just incongruous. Round about twenty years ago, and lasting through the 00s, there was a forum called Barbelithwhich started out as discussion for Grant Morrison fans, but covered many other topics. In the early-to-mid 00s, it was the only place I knew of where there was high-quality online discussion of several topics that interested me, but I was intimidated about joining in which I now see is because of how tired and at-least-low-level ill I was most of the Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 then, and I had so little energy left after work or Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4. Most of the really interesting people I ran into in other communities seemed to count Barbelith as one of their main hangouts. Then it turned out my old flatmate, the only person I've ever really been comfortable living with, had also been on it and it was where he met his Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 they are still together. And then I got to know another bunch of people, including fans of Grant Morrison's comics, and since I joined GR I've been seeing reviews of his work Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 least a few times a year in the feed. Obviously two decades of build-up is a lot to live up to. Though in 27, Neil Gaiman sounded thoroughly Neil Gaiman. He conveys greyness and alienation superbly. The storyline was well done, topical for its time and in tune with the series' outlook Yorkshire ex-pit village hollowed out by Thatcherism, also has a nuclear airbase nearby but not very original. It basically transposes to another part of the country, and scales up, an incident from Delano's Fear Machine story. It takes advantage of one of the aforementioned loose ends, that the Fear Machine project hadn't been totally closed down. One detail stood out as particularly amenable to contemporary young readers with high expectations of representation of marginalised people in comics: JC's old flame Una, who was in the Ravenscar psych hospital with him, has a good job as a magazine photographer and this isn't a big deal - kind of reminiscent of a very personal Guardian column by Hannah Parkinson a year or two ago. Conversely, in 29 there's a consent issue that seems unlikely to pass muster with the same audience. Folk horror has become fashionable again in recent years, another aspect of this story which has aged well - although it's been a long time since the nuclear issue was a major focus for protests the way it was in the late s. The angle of the folk horror is perhaps what differentiates Morrison's take most from Delano's. Delano seems very positive about paganism in The Fear Machine to an extent I can't really see him writing such a sinister spin on folk traditions as this. In 26 there was an eerily prescient reference, sandwiched as it is between instalments of a story about a serial killer who'd been active since the s and not been caught: Cromwell Street. British serial killers Fred and Rose West, caught inlived on Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 Street, Gloucester, and if you were old enough to take in news at the time, the months of reports about investigations at that address will have stuck with you. Forward-looking in a more subtle way is 'The Family Man's minor theme of how the elderly aren't always as harmless as they seem complete with barbed placement of an Age Concern ad in one panel. In the Thatcher years, pensioner poverty Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 a serious issue and there was quite a lot of sympathy and respect for the elderly, many of whom had fought in WWII. Yet that is invisible now to readers who don't remember 80ss Britain, as what's here merely looks like it's in tune with the present, in the UK where pensioners are the only group who receive reliably secure welfare benefits that are just Hellblazer: The Family Man Vol. 4 adequate for quite a lot of people to live on, and internationally with "OK Boomer". I've heard tell in reviews and blogs about the small problems Constantine sometimes addresses, just local ghosts and things, and have been looking forward to reading these, when they turned up. Gaiman's 'Hold Me' story 27 is one such, which includes a social connection via a character from the very first HB comics, and a theme of homelessness which is more meaningful than it would be with many protagonists, as Constantine himself often only has a place to stay via sofa surfing or squatting.
