    <![CDATA[Before Garth Ennis took John Constantine and gave him a new, rougher attitude and language filled with four-letter words, writer Jamie Delano brought an eerie, haunted life to the character. Some people think these stories are dry and less than exciting, but I find them to be filled with incredible atmosphere, smart British-working-class political sensibilities, and just the right amount of levity you'd expect from an insouciant, somewhat amoral occult-dabbler.]]>

    <![CDATA[John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background. He's a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill. The ORIGINAL SINS collection is a loosely connected series of tales of John's early years where Constantine was at his best and at his worst, all at the same time. <br/><br/>]]>

I wish more storytellers would do that.<br/><br/>Also, I wish the art were better.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, I'll admit it freely to the world: I hated this.  I thought it was far too annoyingly political to be entertaining. The stories were so-so and the art was pretty spotty.  I love some of the later Hellblazer, so it's nothing against the concept or the character.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The beginning is horrible. Especially the second story. And I didn't care much for the art either. It gets interesting towards the end where a story spans several issues and &quot;the plot thickens&quot; but overall it's not that interesting. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background. He's a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill. The ORIGINAL SINS collection is a loosely connected series of tales of John's early years where Constantine was at his best and at his worst, all at the same time. <br/><br/>]]>
