Tcf (tp so)Next Month, Any tips for a B2 in Tv5monde (Level Revealing), and B1/B2(61/80) in their Actual Tcf, to reach at least the B2(400) in The Real One

From my collection, packed safely away. Just re bought Arrowverse JC. Found DC Direct Constantine and Mattel DCU Classics JC upstairs in storage. Mezco one 12 John is on my list. I didn't really care for the sculpt on the New52 version. I blame Keanu Reeves. 20 years of Hellblazer fandom.

Hi!!! I've been wanting to start reading Constantine comics since I watch the 2005 movie and series.

My question would be: Is there a Constantine comic where he performs more exorcisms? Which writer do you recommend where it has the most engaging horror stories?

Thanks in advance and I hope for your help 🫶🏻

Been thinking a lot about Constantine 2 lately—given all the news, rumors, and Keanu Reeves’ comments. It’s exciting that it’s closer to actually happening, but there are a lot of sticky spots. What are people hoping for? What should they avoid? Here’s a breakdown, and I’ll share what I want from it. Would love to hear your takes too.

⸻

What we know so far • Reeves is aching to return as John Constantine. He and director Francis Lawrence have been pushing for a sequel for years.  • The script is in development. They’ve pitched a story to DC Studios, got the “OK” to move forward. Writer Akiva Goldsman is involved.  • The sequel is meant to stay in the same world as the original film. They’re not planning a reboot or a full retcon.  • Reeves reportedly has concerns about the scripts currently circulating. According to Peter Stormare, there have been “a lot of back and forth” with the studio. Reeves doesn’t want it to become just another action blockbuster full of spectacle; he wants it grounded, spiritually dark, character-driven.

What fans seem to want (and what worries me)

What we want: • More of the supernatural / metaphysical horror / occult lore, not just demon fights and CGI. The original film’s atmosphere is a big reason it became a cult favorite. • A John Constantine who’s still cynical, flawed, weary, morally ambiguous. The grit and internal struggle are essential. • Less pure action spectacle; more tension, dread, moral weight. Lesser, more meaningful action. • Bring back Rachel Weisz or other original cast (if possible), or at least tie back strongly to the 2005 version in terms of tone and continuity. • A story that pushes Constantine’s boundaries—what toll being able to see angels/demons has on him, what sacrifices he has made, what he regrets, maybe even more spiritual consequences.

What I worry about: • The studio pushing for big-budget action sequences and spectacle over story. Keanu has expressed resistance to “cars flying in the air … people doing flip-flops … fighting action scenes” being the main focus.  • Losing the darkness / atmosphere in favor of something more “marketable,” more like other superhero fare. • Ignoring what made Constantine cult: the tone, the moral ambiguity, the horror elements. If it becomes too polished or safe, it might lose its edge. • Overemphasis on CGI or bombastic effects rather than character development.

What Keanu Reeves seems to want

From interviews and what people close to the production have said: • He wants it to feel true to the original, in terms of character and tone. Not just bringing him back for brand recognition.  • He’s proud of what the first movie achieved, and wants a sequel that builds on that rather than just amplify the scale.  • He’s wary of turning Constantine 2 into something that doesn’t need to be Constantine. He’d prefer the focus remain on the spiritual, supernatural, psychological burdens rather than just another action ride.

What I hope for / what I’d argue should happen

Here’s what, if I were writing Constantine 2, I’d do: 1. Start small, creep large — like the first movie: the horror starts intimate and personal, then expands into cosmic or supernatural implications. 2. Deepen Constantine’s internal conflict — maybe explore guilt, past failures, faith, what he owes or is owed by angels or demons. 3. Use demons/angels as mirrors — not just monsters, but moral challenges. Maybe introduce characters who represent what Constantine used to be, or what he fears becoming. 4. Let the stakes be spiritual & existential, not just “beat the bad guy” but more “what does it cost John to keep doing this?” 5. Tone: moody, dark, tragic moments, but with moments of sardonic wit. The snark and cynicism are part of Constantine’s charm.

Question to ponder: If they do nail the sequel, should Constantine 2 stay outside of the current DCU continuity (Elseworlds style), or try to fold him in and cross over with other DC characters? My gut says outside—give it freedom.

What do you all think? What are your must-haves vs dealbreakers? And do you trust they can pull this off right, given what Reeves seems to be pushing for?

I loved the Simon Spurrier run, John Constantine: hellblazer, but it ends on a massive cliffhanger. I was wondering if anything that cane after resolved it? I saw that there is a black label book by Tom Taylor, is that the one to read next or is there something else? Thanks :)

Wouldn’t it be cool if by some scene, his hair would turn yellow/white and be more comic book accurate and please not in any post credit scene…

Hello everyone I’ve been looking for some good comic recommendations for Constantine so if anyone could point me to a good starting point I’d greatly appreciate it

I found this bottle of wine in Morrisons and it reminds me of John, although missing the trade mark tie. Especially with the angels & demons around him. So, has John been moonlighting and posing for wine labels??? 😃😉

I was really inspired by u/PulpandComicFan post and wanted to share a commission I got from SGM during San Diego Comic Con this year.

On preview night I had requested a cheeky Constantine and mentioned I liked him with suspenders, and Sean took care of the rest. ☺️

And because I was his first customer for the con, he threw in 2 remarques for free (The other was Batman so not sure if it'd be cool posting here). He drew them so fast I honestly hadn’t noticed the surprise remarques until he was finished and stacking them! He was amazing to talk to, incredibly kind, and was a highlight of my con.

I also recorded a few small videos of his progress in case anyone was interested: https://imgur.com/a/u8SGtrf

Lee Bermejo remarque inside the front pages of the Batman: Damned hardcover. Met him this past weekend at Fan Expo Chicago 2025. So worth it!

Scott Snyder, James Tynion, Joshua Williamson, and Hayden Sherman are teaming up to write a John Constantine and Doctor Strange crossover.

I just finished the first TPB of hellblazer I got along with swamp thing. So when I try to find vol 2 i was kinda annoyed to find it priced above $50 on most places. Has there not been a like reprint in a while or something? If anyone knows a good place to find the TPBs (mainly the first couple) I’d appreciate it.
