The Family Man by Jamee Delano was the largest story and was, for the most part, a 4-star read. The introduction issue was delightfully weird and off the wall, and the art and story meshed well together. It was let down by the interruption of other issues/stories (I assume there was an editorial reason back in the day), and the ending was a disappointment that didn't live up to the rest of the story in my mind. The stuff with Constantine's dad in particular didn't seem to have the emotional punch it should have, especially knowing what I know about their relationship just from cultural osmosis.
Grant Morrison's two-issue story was alright. It was creepy and atmospheric, I liked the art, but the story itself was a letdown for me.
I enjoyed Neil Gaiman's issue. It was very sad, and very film noir in art style which set it apart from the other issues. It wasn't anything earth shattering but I enjoyed it for what it was.
Dick Foreman's issue was another entertaining stand alone. Who doesn't like a story about a demonic dog? As is becoming something of a pattern with Hellblazer, no matter who's writing it, the ending was a bit anti-climatic.
The "Sunday" story by Jamie Delano was as bizarre and as misanthropic as you'd expect from Delano, and it didn't seem to be anything more than confusing filler, but who knows with this series, it might mean something down the line.
There was also a prose story at the end also written by Delano, "The Gangster, the Whore and the Magician". I actually really enjoyed this, it was sad and lonely and hopeful. It left me thinking that Delano would be better suited to writing traditional books over comics.… (mais)
