y'know how in some anime they'll have a random beach episode that has no significance to the main plot between story arcs. you could say hellblazer also did that except instead of characters having fun it's about john getting radiation poisoning and fathering a two-headed seal baby with the last woman on earth and watching it immediately get eaten by seagulls during its first minute alive

Imagine, the year is 2006, you're in your mid 20s, just out of uni on your first major job, a CGI artist on Transformers, your favourite show as a kid, renowned for its simple but unique character designs, and also being a glorified toy commercial. You tirelessly begin to design your favourite robots, making them fit into a realistic setting, but also maintaining the same boxy charm, the movie's being filmed in a couple months and you've had no word from the people at Paramount about the look of the movie, only the summer 2007 release date and it being directed by Michael Bay.

Then, during a particularly long day, whilst putting the finishing touches on pre-vis for Ratchet in your cubicle, you hear a shrill, abrasive voice go: 'Nice job.' You turn around. There, smoking a cigar, his dirty-blond dye-job blowing in the non-existent wind. His breath smells like coffee and napalm: it's him. Mikey Bay. he leans over your shoulder and points at your design.

You shudder at the slight of his button-down shirt, about the same colour and texture as a coffee stain. He slowly takes off his reflective sunglasses and looks you dead in the eyes. He stares intensely with his beady little eyes.

'But what if it looked like a bunch of junkyard scrap fucked?'

The loss of the Beastie Boys in terms of cultural revelance has directly led to the male loneliness epidemic by leaving straight and bi guys on the fringes of queer culture with no good music to hype themselves up, encourage them to be goofy, and try having swag with, in this essay I will...

I'm a simple man.

I feel like a Hellblazer movie should really fit in this neat little crevice between trippy horror and traditional British social realism

I think it's a power move to close the most depressing and stressful episode of your depressing and stressful show with a Weezer song, and a greater one to choose one that fits so perfectly.

Not that it matters, but the fun part about talking about comics at cons is you can say that comics are like dance - imprinting our own moves on songs that have been played a thousand times - and that John Constantine's Byronic and you just don't feel pretentious about it.
