Title: Hellblazer: Rise and Fall (DC Black Label)
Media: Comic
Approximate Length: A three-issue miniseries

An illustration of John Constantine, a middle-aged white man with blond hair, holding what is ambiguously either a winged corpse or statue as if catching it in a dip while dancing. John wears a grubby tan trench coat and holds a cigarette in his free hand. The winged figure is a grey-skinned man, dressed in a loincloth, with a feather detaching from its spread wings.

What It's About
A standalone story in the wider Hellblazer series, Hellblazer: Rise and Fall sees occult detective John Constantine teaming up with Satan himself to investigate when some of the wealthiest people in the world begin falling from the sky with angel wings attached to their backs.

Why does Satan, aka the First of the Fallen, care about a couple of dead oligarchs? Because it's his own stolen wings that are involved in their deaths. Together, he and John get their buddy cop flirt on as they pursue the case back to its roots in an early experience with dark magic in John's childhood and try to set things right.

Where to Find It
The three individual issues and trade paperback collections are available in print and digitally where comics are sold. Information about the trade paperbacks is available on the DC website: Hellblazer: Rise and Fall

What I Love About It
It's the one where John Constantine and Satan make out. I'm not going to lie, that's the main attraction—or rather, John and Satan getting to have a good time together is. This is one of Hellblazer's lighter outings, still dark in content but much less harrowing in tone than some of the series' previous iterations of the same topics, and it's overall a fun little horror adventure with former enemies working together and enjoying each other's company.

I'm Requesting
John Constantine/First of the Fallen, thanks to scenes like the following.

Satan surprising John in bed
(And turning out to be trolling him)
Satan keeping his horns visible for John's benefit
"My hero"
Meeting John's abusive father.
Threatening John's abusive father.
"Go get him, tiger"
Kissing in the men's room

Content Warnings
While this is milder in tone than some Hellblazer arcs, it is still very much a horror comic and contains graphic violence, supporting character death, death of a child, and psychological terror, as well as touching on more grounded dark issues such as child abuse and death in childbirth.
