May 15, 2013 3:38 pm Only the New 52 model could possibly take a unique and brilliant series written by a multiple Hugo award winning author and have it be ignored by their audience and eventually cancelled. Dial H and Mieville truly deserved better than that. It sucks that it was buried in a continuity like what the 52 has set up because it was honestly one of the best comics being released today. It would have thrived at a place like Image. Maybe if it was called Dial Batman it would have sold. Any book that was trying to do something different has fallen by the wayside and been cancelled and it's really disappointing to see. Besides All-Star Western the New 52 is producing mostly boring, uninspired, recycled hash. Dial H is cancelled but at least Vibe and Katana have their own series... Also to see a set of character like the Legion not done justice really sucks.

March 7, 2013 2:12 am This is the best book published at DC right now. Hands down

November 9, 2012 11:24 am Rest In Piss n Vinegar My thoughts on the Hellblazer cancellation http://flashfact.org/2012/11/09/rest-in-piss-n-vinegar-rip-hellblazer/

November 8, 2012 1:01 pm This month in John and his Magical Buddies we see why smoking is bad for your health and why swearing is just down right rude.

November 8, 2012 12:55 pm Sad day. Lets all pour a little out and smoke ourselves coarse tonight for our friend John. Hellblazer was always an oasis where adult horror/mystery comic fans could take refuge from the clutter of modern shared universe comics. John Constantine and his own HBO world outside of all the nonsense was always my favorite place to visit each month. DC replacing their flagship Vertigo title is like if HBO cancelled Sopranos and replaced it with Tony and Friends on the Family Channel. This is a HUGE disappointment and a dark portent for the future of Vertigo. Cheers (Man, who'd have ever thought that the loss of my favorite comic book would actually hit me so hard haha)

October 25, 2012 1:58 am Best monthly book IMO. Love every page The codes on the back reveal really great extra content and lots of it. Such great incentive to buy this monthly. Favorite issue thus far and the surprises in this one are big

October 11, 2012 7:39 pm YES!!!!!! ... That's all

September 26, 2012 11:26 pm My favorite by far as well. Genius book. Read 3 Story, Super Spy or Revolver by him. All excellent stuff. Brilliant creator

February 1, 2012 3:38 pm Bahaha did Allan Moore just compare Watchmen to Moby Dick?! Jesus Christ... One is a novel known world over as one of the greatest works of fiction defining modern storytelling and prose which is recognized by most of the world's populace... The other (albeit a brilliant work) is known by comic nerds like us and generally ignored by most people not involved in the niche market that is the comics industry. So you're right Mr. Moore, they haven't made a prequel to Moby Dick. How that in any way compares to the wonderful funny book you made a few years ago escapes me however. Watchmen is one of my favorite comics as the depth, structure, existential themes and delivery are dare i say it, perfect. However the existence of the movie or comic prequels do not in any way trivialize, cheapen or act as a detriment to the original source material. I hated the Watchmen movie, but it didn't alter my opinion one iota in regards to the book. They're both completely separate entities and should be judged as such. In regards to the argument that DC is dependent on ideas he conceived years ago, he is absolutely correct. However... DC is also pretty dependent on ideas by Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel don't you think? Bob Kane would agree. Does that make current Superman and Batman stories superfluous and innane?! Also what was that character Allan Moore developed into his own? Oh yeah... Swamp Thing. Also EVERY CHARACTER IN THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN.... Frankly the only surprise about this whole thing is that DC didn't do this sooner. The whole "it just seemed like the right time" thing should simply say "hey, now that we have your attention because of the New 52 here is another thing you should buy!" Its 100% a money grab but in no way does that nullify it's merit as a story. Also DC is a major corporation... so OF COURSE its a money grab! Thats what corporations do! Im just saying no one should be upset or shocked about this. Great writers telling great stories with great characters is why we all read comics. Right?
