Absolute Hellblazer

“This whole world’s gone mad. An’ we’re coming down with it.” -John Constantine, 2028.

Without Newscastle… without Ravenscar… without the Golden Child, all that’s left is the Absolute Hellblazer!

John Constantine is a twenty-something year old man born in Liverpool, England.

This Constantine is very inexperienced with Magic, having only come across in an incident with his abusive father. Living with his friends, a group called ‘Mucus Membrane.’ He is eccentric with his discovery, and learns magic, and begins using it.

But he doesn’t really control it, it controls him. Causing an incident between him and Mucus Membrane that brings him to his senses, but leaves him alone.

He starts to drink, and assembles a different crowd of Mucus Membrane in his head, coming out as different parts of his psyche.

The first arc is his origin, while the second, he discovers Mnemoth- a sentient concept within the Earth that causes people to regale in their pleasures, an absolute lack of self-control and John’s attempt to cleanse it. He comes face to face with humanity’s sins, and even after ‘cleansing Mnemoth’, the cruelty and imprint of humanity’s actions has left a stain. Slowly, John begins to build an actual network of magicians who were wronged by other people in different places.

This cause John’s mind to break, as the internal mucus membrane, turns on him and tries to tear him apart with his newfound crowd.

Every single ‘human’ companion John has never wants to see him again, because he brings misfortune.
