No, Spirit World #5, I’m speaking about Constantine and cats, not Constantine and Cassandra. But possibly we must always take a step again to the mid-to-late eighties.
Thank you, Hellblazer #3 from 1988, John Constantine has been identified to impale a cat or two for magical ritual when he may be bothered. And it appears that evidently as a youngster, he actually was bothered.
Killing a cat with a stone. Then utilizing magic to sentence his personal father. It was a distinct time, as they are saying now.
And it appears to work just a little higher than he thought it might. or worse, relying in your perspective.
Cats or fathers, it is by no means good to hold round John Constantine. Not within the current, not sooner or later, comparable to right this moment’s Batman Beyond: Neo Gothic #3. Where final month, we met Kyle, a magic catboi of the longer term.
And seems, that there’s a John Constantine of Batman Beyond as properly.
Where he appears he’s getting on a bit. Born on the tenth of May, 1953, six months older than Alan Moore, he simply had his seventieth birthday. By the time of Batman Beyond, 2039 – the hundredth anniversary of Batman’s creation – he is in his late eighties.
It’s not good to be a cat, hanging round Constantine. But possibly there may be an alternate? Tomorrow’s Unstoppable Doom Patrol #6 brings again Willoughby Kipling…
Created by Grant Morrison and Richard Case as a literal stand-in for John Constantine when DC Comics editorial would not enable Constantine to seem in Morrison’s Doom Patrol. He’s principally solely ever appeared in Doom Patrol occasionally because the Morrison days however was portrayed by Mark Sheppard within the TV collection. But it seems to be like he has a catboi all of his personal, with a barely higher relationship than John Constantine appears to have managed.
I’ve acquired a brand new cat, lately. Her identify is Pandora. And she is Pandorable. Keep John Constantine away from her, please.
