Constantine and Man-Thing

 

Someone with as much supernatural knowledge as John Constantine would likely not succumb to a fear-fueled fiery combustion in the presence of the Man-Thing, so they would make for an interesting partnership.  The only question is just wha tthe muck-encrusted swamp dweller wants from the Hellblazer.

Justice League Dark Vs. Mephisto

 

Ever since Wanda/Vision, there has been rampant speculation as to when and where (and if) Mephisto will show up in the MCU.  I haven't really been expecting him to show up yet, so I have not been disappointed at his absence thus far.  Now that Agatha Harkness is getting her own spinoff Disney+ series, there's another chance to get him into the mix though.  If he's going to make his debut anywhere, that might be an appropriate place.

Hellboy, Gargoyle and Constantine



For me, John  Constantine has become the best part of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.  The rest of the cast can get a bit too goofy for me, so I like the more serious occult sub plots that he gets into.  I liked his solo series as well, for as long as it lasted.  Now if they could only find a way to bring back The Spectre, who was teased in that show!

Cloak and Dagger and Constantine


I've seen a trailer for the upcoming Cloak and Dagger TV show, and while it didn't show much in the way of powers or costumes, I liked what I saw.  The actors seemed well cast and the tone seemd right.  I think they are great characters for the small screen and the show has potential.  I'll definitely be checking it out.

Hmmmm - just who is responsible for terrorizing the neighborhood?  Make sure you come back tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Constantine joins The X-Files



I watched the Justice League Dark animated movie last night and it was a lot of fun to watch Constantine, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Deadman and The Demon fighting side by side.  Batman was included as the connection to the traditional JLA, but I didn't mind as he works well with all of those characters.  It's a visually cool 70 minutes and definitely has me anticipating the live action version that is finally starting to pick up steam.

Constantine Vs. Mephisto



John Constantine's TV series never really got a chance to catch on before it was cancelled, but I thought it showed some potential.  I was glad to see him show up on an episode of Arrow, and I thought he fit in well there.  I don't know if there is anything to the speculation I have read about him visiting Legends of Tomorrow as well, but I think that it would be cool to see.

John Constantine: Hellblazer and Doctor Strange



I remember being amused that Sting from the band The Police was suddenly a supporting character in during Alan Moore's now classic Swamp Thing run.  Well, not really, but John Constantine was certainly illustrated to look like the famous rocker. I was surprised at how quickly the character became a fan favorite, soon getting his own series and helping to define the whole Vertigo imprint.  Constantine is back to being immersed in the mainstream DCU, which is probably a turnoff to some, but I have to admit I like how he interacts with some of the more mainstream heroes.
