This debut issue careens down uncertain avenues, revealing a key element of the plot that instantly changes things for the protagonist and for the casual comic book reader.

Sequential Planet
It’s an interesting reimagining of a beloved classic comic and it works so damn well. Extreme recommendation for John Constantine fans.

Comic Watch
A great book for those missing Spurrier’s much too short time on Hellblazer, delivering an interesting story at the intersection of crime and magic. His scripting paired with the synthesis of time on Hellblazer and his various X-titles gives this book firm feet in both the new and familiar. That conjecture with Adlard’s art and Dodgson’s colors takes what could have been a by-the-numbers story of crime and demons, and elevates it to something distinct and original.

Horror DNA
An exciting debut issue, showcasing lively characters and a deep and ambitious mythology. As it closes out, the readers are left on a promising hook, and a setup that is rife for plenty more grisly demon-slaying action. Who needs John Constantine anyway?

Women Write About Comics
As much as I love Hellblazer, and Spurrier’s run on the series, I don’t necessarily want endless iterations on a gritty, foul-mouthed occult detective in a tan jacket and tie. Spurrier has been a polarizing writer for me – I adored his Hellblazer, but didn’t like Cry Havoc at all. I’m less familiar with the work of the rest of the team, but Damn Them All #1 is an intriguing first issue.
