Welp here it is, the first time I give Hellblazer a 4 out of 5. Garth is just a much better fit for the character.

So John and Kit are trying their best to figure out what they are. These are multiple storylines here, most being a one shot, two parter, or once in a blue moon a 3 parter. This helps flush out John as a person, really get to know the guy from Garth point of view. The stories that stood out the most for me were Royal Family, which is about crazy rich people summoning jack the fucking ripper demon form. The second is about a demon and a angel hooking up and having a kid. SO we see where he got the Preacher Blueprint from.

I also enjoyed the Holiday special, was pretty humorous and fun. Oh and the vampire king and John going back and forth and settling that they will be rivals at some point in the future while going through their entire life stories was pretty solid too.

The first story was good but it did get dragged down by the unnecessary amount of dialogue given. Also guest writer for issue 51 came along and wrote a weird story but one I just couldn't get into at all.

Overall this is a fine collection and the first time I was really into a Hellblazer title. Hoping it continues from here to be this good. A 4 out of 5.
