He is, he's the best <3

If you have any other questions, I'm happy to ramble about him even more !!

10/10

he first appeared in 1985

And the V/A for John in Harley Quinn and most animated media is Matt Ryan, who plays John in live action as well and is just perfect and amazing and brilliant <3

Also Keanu Reeves played John in Constantine (2005) and he was alright at it

I think I rambled a bit too much but uhhh cool facts about John !!

He exists because Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, John Totleben wanted a character that looked like Sting (the musician) and was the exact opposite of the robed wise wizards in media, and wanted a Blue Collar Magician (their words

Control. Everyone he loves winds up dead, so he tries not to get attached, but then let's himself hope and then everyone dies and the cycle repeats.

Most characters in-universe hate him because they think he's selfish (he is kinda) and has no regard for anyone else (he sometimes does not)

Trigon (Raven's big scary demon dad) and asks him to light his cigarette, which is one of my favorite John moments.

Basically, he's a liar, cheat and con-man with a heart of gold and an on-again off-again death wish because boy is he depressed due to factors both inside and outside of his

Saving the world by summoning a dragon via magic threesome

And getting the Archangel Gabriel cast out of heaven (with help from a demon named Ellie) and then using a FUCKING CHAINSAW TO CUT OFF HIS WINGS

In the JLD comics (I think that's the right continuity) he also straight up summons

Releasing all the souls of the innocent children in hell using a magic clay clone of himself and getting rid of all his undesirable traits at the same time (only to get bored and regain those traits later)

Stopping the birth of the next Jesus by sleeping with the new virgin mary

Of the original Hellblazer comic, but some of my favourite feats of his are:

Tricking the First, Second & Third of the Fallen (basically the comic's versions of the devil since Lucifer is a vertigo character too) into curing his lung cancer and gaining semi demonic protection in the process

The only thing is, everyone around him becomes unlucky and more often than not dies horribly or has something terrible happen to them. John's like the world's biggest disaster bisexual (who dated King Shark at one point) and he's the best <3

I'm only halfway through the original 1988-2008 run

Happy endings aren't really a thing for John since he seems to destroy everything he touches, and since he's a Synchronicity Wave Rider, he's supernaturally lucky and is always in the right place at the right time to metaphorically kick ass because he's canonically useless in a fight

John Constantine first appeared in Swamp Thing as a chain smoking asshole and eventually got his own comic series in 1988 from the same comic publisher!! I like him because he's pretty and smart and he deserves all the love in the world because nothing ever turns out right for him

In my defence, technically the day isn't over yet in other countries and also I zoned out like three times thinking about him over the day so he got those love vibes
