“Johanna Constantine Meets Negan” – Bloody El in Damn Them All

Johanna Constantine meets Negan? With Neil Gaiman‘s Sandman presently probably the most-watched present on Netflix with 128 million hours watched and almost 25 instances the demand of the typical sequence, and curiosity in the characters and style at an all-time excessive, DC presently does not have a brand new comedian omic sequence being printed outdoors of Sandman: Nightmare Country that includes The Corinthian (thanks largely to James Tynion IV‘s love of the character). Now, you would not count on a sequence starring Morpheus, his story has been informed, however nothing for the Houses of Secrets and Mystery and never even John – of Johanna – Constantine. DC PR guy Clark Bull was recommending the recent Sandman Presents: Hellvlazer: Constantine series by Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell – the one which DC Comics cancelled.

So with followers buzzing concerning the gender-swapped Johanna Constantine in the streaming megahit, we thought it sensible to level out that they could be capable to get their repair of occultist-for-rent heroines from one other writer completely, and in addition written by Si Spurrier, Boom Studios. Launching in October, the star of Damn Them All , Ellie “Bloody El” Hawthorne, even resembles Johanna greater than a bit of bit. After his Constantine was unceremoniously minimize quick by the powers that be at DC. Spurrier has since delivered industrial hits like Suicide Squad: Blaze with Aaron Campbell, and Step By Bloody Step with Coda collaborator Matias Bergara. But, may this Spurrier on the point of present those self same fits how profitable Sandman Presents: John Constantine, Hellblazer may have been with the correct assist?

But Bloody El additionally evokes one other (in)well-known TV character – The Walking Dead’s Negan – due to a what seems to be a signature weapon in the type of a ball pein hammer. Again, not terribly shocking on condition that Damn Them All‘s co-creator is none apart from The Walking Dead‘s sequence artist Charlie Adlard, coming again along with his first comedian sequence for the reason that zombie apocalypse concluded. And on condition that Negan continues to be some of the widespread characters most related to Adlard and stays a driving drive in AMC’s The Walking Dead TV empire, it looks like a fairly strong recipe for Boom’s subsequent hit, should-learn sequence following Stephanie Phillips and Flaviano‘s Grim.

Spurrier and Adlard talked up their new sequence at Comic-Con final month on the Boom Studios: Discover Yours panel through a pre-recorded video message and informed followers Damn Them All was “Faust by way of Get Carter.” Or “Good Omens if it were directed by Guy Ritchie.” Or higher but, “The Exorcist, but instead of a bible the priest shows up with a blood-soaked claw hammer.” And whereas these are fairly good, we expect our “Johanna Constantine meets Negan” take is the winner. Feel free to make use of that, freed from cost, Charlie and Si… or possibly simply purchase us a pint the following time we’re on the pub, yeah?

With preliminary orders due from retailers to Diamond earlier than the tip of the month, you would be sensible to pre-order your copy of Damn Them All #1 earlier than then, particularly if you wish to safe the upper ratio incentive covers by Adlard, Sean Phillips, and Becky Cloonan.
