Lady Constantine tells the story of Johanna Constantine, 18th-century ancestor of today's Hellblazer, whose reputation for sorcery lands her a job that promises a future of wealth and entitlement - and almost certain death and damnation in the frozen North Sea!

Review of 'Hellblazer' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A quick fun read that definitely peaked my interest. A good balance was struck between hinting to things that might be to come and being its own contained story. I really enjoyed Johanna's character smart, skilled, cold and self-serving. But no bitch and certainly not evil. We need more anti-heroines!

I really liked the art as well. Nice level of detail and no obvious pandering to the male audience. The pages and frames were laid out very well.

Overall, not the most original story, but I've been reading a lot of offensive excrement of late so 4 stars. It's a well packaged piece, just not earth-shattering - besides its fair treatment of women of course. Which is apparently an insurmountable obstacle haha.
