A billionaire falls out of the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Bizarrely, Angel Wings are attached to his back. More follow until, hallelujah, it's raining businessmen. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by this, until she's visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine. DC’s Hellblazer discovers a link between the falling elite and a shocking moment in his and Aisha’s misspent youth. How do these killings tie to the first death on John's hands? How does this involve heaven and hell? Even if this is kind of John's fault, will Constantine be happy to let a few more rich bastards fall from the sky, like a vindictive Robin Hood? It's an all-new DC Black Label mystery starring John Constantine in his very first tale spun by acclaimed writer Tom Taylor (DCeased) and artist Darick Robertson (The Boys)!

DC Connect: From Injustice to DCeased, your affection for John Constantine is clear. What is it about the character that you love writing? Tom Taylor: I’ve been a fan of John forever. The Golden Age of Vertigo Hellblazer is easily in my top 10 series, from Jamie Delano’s spectacular beginning, and especially the work of [Garth] Ennis and [Steve] Dillon. I love writing characters who speak truth to power, and John doesn’t just speak truth to power, he tears power a new one any chance he gets. He’s also not your standard, perfect hero. He makes a lot of mistakes and people in his orbit get hurt. But there’s a beautiful heart beating in the bastard. He never forgets his less than humble beginnings. He uses that chip on his shoulder to fight against those who think they’re above him and his, and there’s something very cathartic about class warfare where the upper class doesn’t win every damn battle.DCC: What are you looking to do in this story that readers haven’t seen from Constantine before? TT: This is a story I’ve had in my head for about 10 years, certainly when it comes to the inciting incidents and some of the twists and turns. This is a very twisted book, but I actually want to give people exactly the John they’ve seen before. I want to write the bloke who steps out of the shadows with the smirk, the lit cigarette, and all the answers. I want a story of shocks and sadness, and triumph in the face of utter horror. DCC: It’s extremely exciting to see you back with Darick Robertson, following the Constantine-centric DCeased: A Good Day to Die (and to see Robertson drawing the Hellblazer story it feels like he was destined to do). What’s it been like teaming together on Rise and Fall?
TT: It’s funny. I’ve often heard talk of Darick Robertson being one of the quintessential Constantine artists…and he’s never drawn Hellblazer in his career. People just assume he has because he’s so perfectly suited. I’m a huge Darick Robertson fan and have been since the opening pages of Transmetropolitan. His art puts a huge smile on my face when it appears in my inbox, especially his gorgeous inks. Darick brings the cheek, the grit, the horror, the humor, and the heart to John in a way only he can. By the time this story is told, the myth of Darick Robertson being a quintessential Constantine artist will definitely be a reality. DCC: Rise and Fall puts a focus on Constantine’s youth. How do you describe the adolescent Constantine? TT: He’s almost exactly the same, but shorter, and with more to prove. He’s reckless, and eager to show off and to escape a pretty awful home life by getting into trouble. DCC: The solicitation text mentions a character connected to John’s youth, Aisha Bukhari—what can you share about her, and the role she plays? TT: Aisha is a friend from John’s childhood. She’s there the day it all goes wrong. And what they experienced on that dark day has big ramifications in their future for Detective Aisha and John the magician. DCC: While DCeased isn’t necessarily family friendly, Rise and Fall is a mature readers title—how are you taking advantage of the looser restrictions that come with that? TT: Picture all those stars covering half of John’s words. Now picture them all removed. That’s the main part. That said, Darick and I aren’t holding back with some good, old-fashioned violence and gore, when appropriate.
TOM TAYLOR CHRONICLES THE RISE AND FALL OF HELLBLAZER
Interview by Albert Ching
Last year, writer Tom Taylor (DCeased) and artist Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan) teamed for DCeased: A Good Day to Die, a one-shot detailing how the events of DCeased affected several DC characters—including fan-favorite antihero John Constantine.
Between Taylor’s obvious fondness for Constantine and how well-suited Robertson seemed for a Hellblazer story, it was hard not to want more—and here it is. Taylor and Robertson are teaming for Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, a three-issue, Prestige Plus DC Black Label miniseries starting in September. Rise and Fall starts with a billionaire inexplicably falling out of the sky only to be gruesomely skewered on a church
spire—and then it keeps happening, with the mysterious murders somehow tied to Constantine’s youth.
DC Connect talked with Taylor to find out what he finds so compelling about Hellblazer, teaming with future “quintessential Constantine artist” Robertson, and the “good, old-fashioned violence and gore” they’ve got planned for the bimonthly series.

Set a decade after the infamous battle of the Black Stair, an incognito Queen Cyanthe and her handmaiden embark on a journey to the poverty-stricken villages outside Tyrgolad. When faced with stories of disappearing children and a real-life encounter with a great and ancient monster, Cyanthe realizes that tales of monsters lurking are anything but folklore, and must return to her warrior roots to slay another ghastly creature. Special guest writer Dan Watters (Lucifer, Coffin Bound) and artist Steve Beach (The Last God: Tales from the Book of Ages) join the world of the Last God for this tale from the Age of Tyrgolad.

VICTOR AND NORA: A GOTHAM LOVE STORY TP
New York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle (ttyl, ttfn) and artist Isaac Goodhart (Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale) reunite in this gorgeous young adult story about living life to the fullest, and how far one will go for love.
Seventeen-year-old Victor Fries has a cold heart. After his brother died in a tragic house fire for which Victor feels responsible, his parents have isolated themselves, and Victor has dedicated his whole life to one thing: science.
Nora Faria is full of life. She is suffering from an incurable illness that will slowly consume her, so she’s decided to live her last days to the fullest at her summer home outside of Gotham City until her birthday. On that day, she plans to take her own life.
When Victor and Nora happen to meet at the cemetery outside of town, they are astonished to find the connection they have each been missing in their lives. Their summer quickly spirals into a beautiful romance, and Victor’s cold heart begins to thaw, allowing him to enjoy life just a little more.

Heather Nuhfer and P.C. Morrissey team up in this fun story about game night with the Titans!The Titans have a regular game of Basements and Basilisks, but when the basement boss
(Robin, of course) tries to make the game super fun by making it super-impossible to win, the team rebels. Their new BB is much more fun—and she actually lets them complete their quests, which is excellent motivation to keep playing. But the Boy Wonder begins to worry that the Titans will be trapped in their imaginations forever, going on endless, easy-breezy quests, neglecting their duties in Jump City.
There might also be problems with the campaign’s most important relic, the “Anklet of Extreme Crushing (and Chafing),” which Robin has tightly clasped to his leg.

“It was an absolute surprise to me, but Tom’s scripts made Deadshot one of my very favorite characters. I got more attached with every new chapter we worked on together. I guess that was my mistake! But it’s been fun as hell to draw Floyd Lawton!” —Bruno Redondo
“We heard a lot as we began work on our new Suicide Squad: ‘The Revolutionaries are just there to be cannon fodder.’ ‘No A-lister is gonna die in this book.’ ‘It’s not like they’d ever kill someone as big as Deadshot.’ As we all enjoy subverting expectations, we started to plan a long life for some of our beloved Revolutionaries, and an idea began to grow. Although the entire creative team had, surprisingly, become completely attached to Floyd Lawton and didn’t want to see him go, the bullet had been fired. There was no stopping it. It was time for Deadshot to be shot dead.” —Tom Taylor
