Conspiracy buffs beware!

Revelations by Paul Jenkins and Humberto Ramos (Dark Horse Comics)

Revelations is Hellblazer less the mysticism and magic.

Charlie Northern. Compassionate humanist, chain smoker, talks snappy. Just add moral ambiguity and magic and he would be Constantine. Considering that Paul Jenkins has written for Hellblazer, it is no surprise.

Conspiracy? What conspiracy? It’s just some supernatural mystery, like in......yikes, Hellblazer. The clues before the answers hardly hint at any conspiracy, and the mystery and solution do not add up. If you read the first and last chapter, you hardly miss anything. The mono- and dialogues are good, and great for fans of Hellblazer.

The art is the only original thing worth looking. The colours are grim, while the characters are done in a cartoon style.
