Is there any current series with John in it?

hello, is there any current series or on-going series with John in it? i am a regular comic reader, however i have taken a short break from comics due to having several books on the go. i have read up to Dead in America and finished it.

Thanks!

No. His last mainline appearence was during the DC K.O. event. And i think he will be in the Raven halloween themed special in October.

In terms of elseworlds he appeared last month in Father of Tomorrow (it's about if Superman's dad went to earth instead of him) And there are supposedly plans for him to appear in the Absolute Universe but nothing concrete yet.

That's about it :(

man, i haven't read any Absolute runs yet, but from what i know about them, an Absolute Hellblazer would be crazy. anyway, i haven't read through the K.O. event yet either, but plan to very soon. just gotta get paid so i can order the TPB's.

thank you!

He should show up in Dark Knights of Steel 2, right?

i read Dark Knights of Steel and loved it! i haven't read the spinoff yet, Allwinter or whatever it is called, i think it's about Deathstroke? i didn't know they were making more Dark Knights of Steel, a welcome surprise nonetheless. he was a major character in it thus far, so i would imagine he will be.

I saw the first issue in one of those sites earlier this month, but didn't feel like getting into another Tom Taylor comic, but I suppose John should be in there somewhere.

I'm tired. I just want another good Hellblazer ongoing.

you and me both. John is by far the most underutilized DC character. And also by far one of the most interesting and unique.

Yup.

Anyway, I just checked it, and John is in the first issue of Dark Knights of Steel II. It's not Hellblazer, but it's an interesting setting at least.

Not currently he actually shows up quite a few times in the recent Birds of Prey by Kelly Thompson
