John Constantine had no intention of tracking down his long-lost nephew, despite the promise John made to his dead mom. But mysterious circumstances and a series of murders set Constantine out to Ireland in search of his forgotten relative. However, after a séance with his late sister Cheryl, Constantine finds that there might be a lot more connections between his nephew and these set of murders than meets the eye.

In this penultimate chapter to Vertigo's longest series, Death and Cigarettes is the latest chapter in critically acclaimed writer Peter Milligan's run on HELLBLAZER.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The long-running British magician known as Hellblazer was recently rebooted into the magic-centric DC universe, where scruffy, snarky John Constantine stands at the center of the usual gang of costumed crusaders. In this final volume of stories from the original series, Constantine's mature-audience swan song is strung together from several shorter works that, if nothing else, get to the center of the kind of supernatural grit Hellblazer specialized in. In one story, Constantine investigates a ghostly suicide bridge. In others, more family problems, including a long-lost relative, demand his attention and suggest that black magic is a curse that runs through a family's DNA. In the finale—no spoiler here—Constantine grapples with his own death, dealing with it in the same way he faces everything else: through disingenuousness and finely-tuned planning to beat the supernatural on its own terms. As usual, the character of Constantine waivers between off-putting charm and sincere untrustworthiness. One of the hallmarks of the Hellblazer series was Constantine's real-time aging, and here, as a tired magic practitioner floating around 60, both he and the series wear their age well. (July)

5.0 out of 5 stars As Good Of An Ending As You Could Expect
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020

A lot of people hated the ending to this series, and I don't get why. I thought it was fine, and there was really never going to be that perfect ending that made all readers (long time and otherwise) happy. Milligan ended it the best he could, and he ended it very....Milligan-esque-ly. Milligan always ends his runs kind of vaguely (see the end to my personal favourite comic, Shade the Changing Man, for instance). Personally, I like vague endings, since you get to put your own interpretation on them. It's better than being force-fed some definite ending, IMO.

I was always an on-and-off follower of Hellblazer, but I own the entirety of Milligan's run. I like that it was more light-hearted than some of the other writers runs. Sometimes Hellblazer could be very.... edgelordy. Milligan added good original characters (I thought Epiphany was awesome), and he added the perfect amount of humour to the story. He brought back the right characters to bring back without drowning us in nostalgia. I really don't know what people were expecting from the end of this series.

Bummer that it's the last Hellblazer book and the end was a LITTLE flat (not as bad as some made it sound) but it was still a great book. I do wish John Constantine went out in a more amazing fashion...

3.0 out of 5 stars 2 Star Ending to a 9 Star Series
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
Want a 10 Star series all the way through?  Lucifer Book One .

Hellblazer is about a 9 Star series ... to me ... but if you aren't a big fan of magic and the occult (I am) it's really only about a 6 (we are talking on a 1-5 Amazon star rating system, so it's still off the official charts, LOL).

But what a poor ending on this one.

What I would have liked to see was Constantine in Hell. Not as a denizen - but as their designated "fixer."

Or in Heaven - as THEIR designated "fixer."

Or even as Julia(n)'s BFFWBFL (best friend forever with benefits for life) - the love of that Babylonian shape-shifting demon's life (remember the love potion?). Yeah Constantine, try escaping that immortal love nest!

I guess it's hard to ask a writer to hit a home run on the farewell stretch ... but ....

I don't think I'm killing any sales by being honest at this juncture. Completists will have to buy this collection. And ordinary readers can enjoy it for less than the cost of a bad movie at the multiplex, thanks to Amazon's aggressive pricing on graphic novels.

We'll never have another Constantine. But at least we had a great 300 episode run!

3.0 out of 5 stars A sad farwell to a great character
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013

Did not like the ending at all .Having said that I normally have to re-read many of the Hell Raisers before a get a real feel for them because they tend to bleed into each other. Even though John can be a real p...k sometimes, I really like the character so I tend to just go along with the storyline but this ending was disappointing and that's a shame seeing as how this is the last issue published under the "Vertigo" label. You think the writer would have gone out with another type of "bang". Gonna miss the John I've come to know and love. I'm not sure I will continue to read DC's John. Perhaps I'll give it a chance and see how much they tame him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013
Given that I am a fan of all things DC comics, I have always been curious about their edgier series in the Vertigo line. Never had the courage to check out these titles until I was given the pleasure of reading one for an honest review. I have to say, I'm impressed.

Reading this book was not what I expected, but in a good way. I wasn't so sure how comics that are grittier than your standard super hero books could be entertaining. Well a few pages in I was hooked and all be cause of the writing. The writing for this book was great. There seemed to be little stories in this book that all tied into the larger plot. Constantine is asked to find his long lost nephew that he had not known existed. He is struggling with whether or not he should actually find him, because he feels his bloodline is cursed. His nephew would be better off not knowing and continue to live his life blissfully unaware of his roots.

The artwork in this particular book isn't the best I have seen. It is hard not to judge artwork in these books when I have seen such amazing works from Jim Lee, Tony Daniel, and Alex Ross. Still, the arts lack of detail and rough style seems to fit who the character Constantine is. It may not be the best I've seen but it works in this context.

This has defiantly peaked my interest in the Vertigo line from DC. I want to get my hands on the first Hellblazer graphic novel now so I can see how this all began. DC has a way of picking writers that can really make the story grab you.

Milligan concludes one of the greatest comic book series of all time with this volume...and it's epic.

John Constantine has gone through a lot in his life - friends loved and lost, families destroyed...and it's mostly his fault.

On one last journey of self discovery, we see John try to salvage family ties and then understand what the end means for him. Is it the end of a life, the end of hurt and pain or just making sure he hurts no-one else?

It's been a hell of a ride, hellblazer. You deserve to rest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing climax to a great series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2013

My daughter was born in the year this story first appeared in comic format and 25 years later it concludes. Many writers have had a go at showing the world the real character of the Scouse/Cockney Magi and most have consistently portrayed him as a hard drinking + smoking bad boy. Milligan and Camuncoli have finished the run in the same vein and their standard has been as high as Ennis and co at times. (although my favourite writers were Delano and Azzarello with Richard Corben's art) However, just like The Sopranos, considering this was the conclusion of what has generally been a masterpiece it was a bit of a let down.

There was a pleasant trip down memory lane with acknowledgements to early characters but it just didn't grab me in the way Milligan's initial story lines did.

Having said this I don't know why this series had to end as I have been enjoying Constatnine's life for 25 years and having looked at the new 52 storyline it looks like the writing and art have really declined.

If just hope they bring it back one day.
