In "Warped Notions," written by Eddie Campbell, Constantine is drawn into a web of time travel and terror when he's accosted by the ghost of Sir Francis Dashwood, the founder of the Hellfire Club. Dashwood needs Constantine's help to avert a disaster that could threaten the very fabric of reality. Then, Paul Jenkins begins his Hellblazer run with "Dreamtime"! John Constantine plunges deep into an arcane landscape where a powerful entity known as the Rainbow Serpent intends to punish man's treatment of the environment by clearing the earth of all animal life.

Yet there are some entertaining interludes and these include a simply brilliant back-story set in John's youth. This explains his close relationship with Chas and features Constantine at his best, using guile and deceit to bamboozle a bestial horror (which happens to be... erm... Chas' mother). It's deliciously crude and clever, a perfect blend of black humour and backstreets noir with a supernatural slant.
The final storyline follows similar themes, as JC must once more outwit the first of the fallen to prevent his soul being harvested in hell. But there's something lacking in the storytelling here. All the Hellblazer elements are present... but it doesn't sparkle or snark like classic Constantine.
here's hoping Vol #10 picks up the pace...
