DC Comics eccentric like Swamp Thing and John Constantine were ab initio aspect of the mainstream DC Universe , but from the nineties onward , these supernatural protagonists were exiled to DC ’s fledged - readers Vertigo line .
Nowadays , DC ’s editorial office that be are relaxing this mandate and permit its stalwart superheroes to intermingle with Vertigo ’s salty , supernatural static . Neil Gaiman ’s Death appeared in Action Comics alongside Lex Luthor last twelvemonth , Swamp Thingplayed a major role in the Brightest Day event , and now streetwise London mage John Constantine is returning , presumably free to rub shoulders with Aquaman and party .
This weekend at the London Sci - Fi Festival , present Hellblazer scribe Peter Milligan confirm that Constantine would be back in the DCU , and his return wo n’t affect Constantine ’s long - running Vertigo title of respect Hellblazer . Notes Rich Johnston over atBleeding Cool :
And while he could n’t speak for the DC Universe delineation , [ Milligan ] empathise that it will fundamentally be the same character reference , the same individual , but it wo n’t interfere with his Vertigo portrayal .
This approach sounds similar to how Marvel has treated the Punisher in recent times ( Frank Castle ’s appeared in the superhero - centrical Punisher and the adults - only crime claim Punisher MAX ) . And I for certain ca n’t gripe about more John Constantine , unless he ’s played by Johnny Utah .
