About the author

Simon Oliver was hatched in South London in 1969. Since that date he has consistently strived for mediocrity in a number of fields of employment, from cooking at the legendary Hacienda Club of Manchester in the late 1980's, scuba diving instructor in the planet's more tropical climes, to a career as a camera assistant in Hollywood. With such a spotty and heterogeneous employment record is seemed only fitting that the comic book would industry welcome him with open arms in 2005 for his writing debut in THE EXTERMINATORS.

The Hellblazer #6 - 2 out of 5 stars

The HellBlazer : The Poison Truth - 2.5 out of 5 stars

What I liked :

The art for the starting 3 issues were really nice to look at the later 3 issues went in similar style but felt sort of average at best but even then looked very good .

The story was multilayered and initially felt really confusing but started growing on me and really made me excited .

There was also much of character depiction and multiple reasonings and explanations were shown about Constantines various action

What I didn't Like

for majority of the story it was a complex confusing mess .

There was a lot of dialogues and too much chatter amongst the characters sometimes filled with multiple political propaganda and it really made the reading a tedious affair .

Besides Constantines, many characters were shown and introduced but none were really given much attention or depth , the lack of character exploration of Chas , Swamp thing especially felt regrettable.

The villain although as a being sounds really interesting , for whatever time he has been shown he has looked very cliched and not very inspiring .

Conclusion

I'm pretty sure I won't be continuing this issue of rebirth , which at this point appears as the weakest link in the Rebrith titles, But I'm curious about the story and ergo I'll most likely continue reading this until this whole Djinn story is complete . However in all honesty I definitely don't endorse this comic book

The story is getting really interesting. The pace is just right. Simon Oliver's writing is still good. And you know what? They did find a solution for artwork. Pia Guerra from previous issue is still on pencils, but we've got José Marzan, Jr. on ink now, so... my guess is that Pia Guerra got more time thanks to that and we've got much better job this time. Even backgrounds don't look empty anymore. Art still looks a bit noobish, while colors by Carrie Strachan are way too bright for Hellblazer, but still, it's the best thing we've got so far.
