james_desantis 's review for:
Hellblazer, Vol. 5: Dangerous Habits
by Garth Ennis, Jamie Delano
Jamie leaves and in enters Garth!
The ending to Jamie's run hits some emotional parts but overall it's nothing special. Just like most of his run, it's overly written and boring. He's trying to make our hero go through a spiritual jounary but none of it is interesting. The niece/uncle stuff is by far the best stuff. On the flipside Ennis comes in and creates a powerful story about a very real disease, cancer, and how he'll have to handle it. A trick to the devils? Friends leaving and dying? All the darkness Hellblazer is known for grows here.
As I said the first half of this book is decent enough but nothing really worth talking about. It's the later half of Dangerous Habits arc that really pushes the character into a interesting zone. The supernatural twist, the realistic viewing on dealing with cancer, and the loss of friends all works really well here. The ending is heartbreaking in the best ways.
I sadly can't go full 4 stars since I did love the ending, but the first half of this book is dull for most part. A 3.5 out of 5. We might get a 4 next volume!
