This volume would a good one to introduce new readers of the series to, I think. It started off with a previous issue (Newcastle) which explains one of the formative incidents of Constantine's life, and then continues on with a few separate episodes of instances that are common in the Occultist's life and line of "work." There's also a condensed timeline of what I believe are all the important moments of Constantine's storyline and a short special on historical magic spots in London (which I gave a glance over, it's more of an extra that I'd save for when I own a copy of this volume).

Like the character of John Constantine, but these random stories didn't really do much for me.

I read this going off the advice of a list on the net since it seems the Hellblazer collections are not in sequential order. This is more of a series of stories that show Constantine in different flashbacks to earlier parts of his life. It is a good read and you could almost read this before the Original Sin collection but reading it right after it does give the events in Original Sin a new light. I enjoyed the book and I'll pick up more of them but probably not at the rate I was first reading Fables or Hellboy.
