Yeah, I've only a little knowledge of the character through the pages of Swamp Thing and what not but I figured it was about time to give the man a shot. I just finished the first issue in the TPB, I'm sold.

Ha, awesome. Are you reading the old or the new edition? Hellblazer has had the best creators writing it. Most Vertigo stars: Delano, Ennis, Jenkins, Ellis, Azzarello, Carey, Diggle and Milligan for thr long runs. And other superstar writers for a few issues. Only bad writer was Denise Mina everything else has been gold. Delano's run was a little dense and wordy but good nonetheless.
I'm currently reading the whole series along with the minis and specials. BB

I'm guessing that it's the new edition for I haven't seen it on the shelves until recently. I'm a sucker for Milligan so I can't wait to catch up to his writing. Dense and wordy never really bothers me.
Yeah, that's the one. It has the Swamp Thing issues too. Too bad Milligan's run starts at issue #251 :p His run is pretty new reader friendly so you could also start with it. BB
@Billy Batson: Nice, I didn't look at the index until just now. I have the Swamp Thing issues in this TPB but I don't mind paying a little more simply so I don't have to dig them out of a box. You underestimate my voraciousness, I'm only hindered by that green stuff in my wallet, or lack of it. I'll probably just read along and catch up.
Nonplayer/Saga/Ex-Machina have been my most recent reads. I was planning to start on Morrison's Doom Patrol; sadly, my pockets are currently in fiscal remission until my student loan arrives.
Careful with that Mr DoomDoomDoom, you might soon find yourself spending afternoons in the welcoming shadows of an old pub, calling every girl "Luv" and saying "Ta" instead of "thank you". I know it has happened to me, and I'm French!
