constantine is being brought back into main DC continuity AND he's continuing on in hellblazer over at vertigo. he's the only DC character who's going to remain at vertigo, so that other than hellblazer, vertigo can be an imprint strictly for creator-owned material. DC's bringing back swamp thing, and of course they decided to bring back john along with him -- but john the way he was when he was first introduced in swamp thing back in the 80's, i.e. younger and better-coiffed. sans earrings, though.
vertigo wasn't developed until (*checks wikipedia*) 1993 -- so all the hellblazer before that was published by regular old DC. and of course his storyline in swamp thing was a lead up to crisis on infinite earths, which leads to a surreal scene with john and swamp thing on a space station with the justice league. so john's had plenty of time over in the regular DC universe. he probably just won't say "fuck" and there'll be fewer storylines where a demon fucks a guy through a slit in his belly to impregnante him with the antichrist. but he can get those over in hellblazer, still, so it's an ideal solution!
It wasn't Ennis who wrote the issue where John is revealed as bi, it's a one-off writer named, as I recall, John Smith.
ahhhh, that completely explains why it wasn't collected in the trade! ha, i was also wondering why on earth ennis would do that when he writes him so straight.
