The Hellblazer (2016-) #11

The Hellblazer issue #11 was published in 2017 as part of the DC Rebirth initiative, which sought to refine the tone of the long-running John Constantine series. Written by Simon Oliver, this particular narrative arc continues the character's return to his London roots, distancing him from the broader supernatural team dynamics of earlier DC titles to focus on the darker, more cynical street-level grifter aesthetic that defined his earliest appearances.

The interior art for this issue, largely handled by artists working under the DC Rebirth umbrella during this period, maintains a gritty, noir-inflected visual style consistent with the character's legacy. Simon Oliver’s scripts during this run were noted for leaning into Constantine’s inherent moral ambiguity and his precarious relationship with his own past, reflecting the publisher's goal to maintain relevance for the Vertigo-originated character within the primary DC Universe continuity.
