John Constantine’s new DC comic book ends with him kissing the Devil
Today, DC concluded the Black Label book Hellblazer: Fluctuate with a story about John Constantine examining a mystical string of deaths in which the worst of society’s upper crust keep jumping to their deaths with what appear like angel wings stitched into their backs.
Method back in the series’ very first concern, Satan techniques John into thinking for numerous minutes that he had an inebriated one night stand with the devil himself, prior to chuckling his ass off and informing John that as the King of Hell he has much better requirements than that. However is John Constantine too low lease for fast snog with the Lord of Lies?
Today we discovered that no. No he is not.
What else is taking place in the pages of our preferred comics? We’ll inform you. Invite to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this previous week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading suggestions, part “look at this cool art.” There might be some spoilers. There might not suffice context. However there will be terrific comics. (And if you missed out on the last edition, read this.)

What actually makes this panel for me is the right creative option on Darick Robertson’s part, that when French kissing the Devil, Constantine would raise his ankle like a little princess.

Mentioning queers, this arc of The Dreaming: Waking Hours is developing into that a person meme. Every queer good friend group has actually: A banished angel, a talking raven, a child gargoyle, a trans sorceress, her himbo partner who enjoys her a lot he lets her gown him in mesh t-shirts, and a problem who fell in love with a monk he saw when in a dream.
This is not a problem.

Black Knight: King in Black works as a one-shot sneak peek of Simon Spurrier’s Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade, and you understand I’m here for Spurrier composing a Falstaffian dream hero. Coda knocked my socks off.

Hellions did not get me in its very first arc however since the X of Swords things, every concern of it is something that tickles my love of unusual comics meta and offers me a great stubborn belly laugh.
