You can follow him on Twitter and Bluesky at @JulesChinGreene. The Losers was directed by Milo Neuman, who also directed the Blue Beetle short, and the two couldn’t be more different in tone. Blue Beetle is a fun send-up of 1960’s superhero cartoons, particularly one about a marvelous arachnid.
Running Time
Rossmo invents an entirely new visual language for Constantine that’s utterly infectious on the page. The art’s exaggerated proportions and expressions lend a playfulness to Constantine’s supernatural experiences. The House of Mystery appears mainly in various Vertigo titles, especially those tied into Neil Gaiman's Sandman; it has appeared briefly in Resurrection Man. Something called the House of Mystery appeared in 52 #18, where it seems to have been used for some time as a base for a team of detectives called the Croatoan Society, which counts both Detective Chimp and Ralph Dibny among its members. It is unclear if the Croatoan's House of Mystery is meant to be the same as the original House of Mystery, a post-Infinite Crisis version of the original House of Mystery, or simply a different location with the same name. Cain's name appeared on this house's mailbox, implying some sort of connection to the original House.
Releases by Date
In 1986–1987, DC comics published a new series, Elvira's House of Mystery. One issue of this series, issue #3, was released without Comics Code Approval and contained significant implied nudity, but subsequent editorial comments in later issues stated that the experiment in releasing an unapproved issue was not considered successful. James Tynion IV, of course, would go on to write Batman, where he had a hand in creating characters such as Punchline, Clownhunter, Ghost-Maker, the Gardener and Miracle Molly. Tynion is also known for his horror stories, with The Nice House on the Lake being one of the most haunting comics I’ve ever read.

CONSTANTINE and all related characters and elements are ™ and © DC. IGN exclusively revealed a new trailer for the upcoming anthology this past weekend. Yet we knew that the new Constantine short was coming after Warner Bros. teased it as part of DC Fandome 2021.
And later become a recurring character in Blue Devil and The Sandman. DC's Vertigo imprint began a new ongoing series in May 2008, written by Lilah Sturges and Bill Willingham. It features at least one different story each issue, told by people trapped in a "purgatory-like house".[15][16] The series ended in October 2011 with issue #42. In terms of the release’s audio and video quality, it’s a pretty good overall presentation. Outside of occasional artifacting and some macroblocking, it’s a fine looking transfer, with any blemishes barely a noticeable blip. The audio is just as good, if not better, with every word of dialogue and beat of action coming through crystal clear and no issues whatsoever.

Home Entertainment, and inspired by characters and stories from the iconic DC Universe, the all-new quartet of DC Showcase shorts are produced by Rick Morales (Mortal Kombat Legends franchise, Injustice). Jim Krieg is producer, and Sam Register is executive producer. Please note the updates above do not list the regular near-daily updates across the site, which include updates to assorted releases, image galleries, backstage/extra content and more. The updates also do not include content posted on Twitter and YouTube. The House of Mystery is the name of several horror, fantasy, and mystery comics anthologies published by DC Comics. It is also the name of the titular setting of the series.
As such, the creative team immersed themselves in the character’s classic comics. That being said, to quickly touch on the short’s finale (while keeping details as vague as possible), it can be read a couple different ways. In one way, it does act as it’s own solid wrap with that typical House of Mystery twist fans of the comic likely remember. Another way, however, is that the finale could be read as a hint toward something bigger on the horizon. The series would not be complete without the fabulous artwork of Riley Rossmo.
The Martian Manhunter was again relegated to back-up status during this time. Animation continues to glean beloved characters from DC’s robust library for the popular DC Showcase line of animated shorts, this time highlighting characters as diverse as Constantine, Kamandi, the Losers and Blue Beetle in this new compilation. The first issue under Orlando would be a reprint issue of old horror/suspense stories, as the new direction would truly begin with #175 (July–August 1968). The issue would introduce a new figure to the series, Cain, the "able care taker" of the House of Mystery who would introduce nearly all stories that would run in the series before its cancellation.[5] Cain would also host the spin-off humor series Plop!
If you love this book, then you can catch more adventures with Constantine in Tynion’s Justice League Dark series that followed this one. In the mid-1960s, the series was revamped to include superhero stories. From The House of Mystery #143 (June 1964) to 155 (December 1966), "J'onn J'onzz, the Manhunter from Mars" headlined the book, as his back-up feature from Detective Comics was moved to The House of Mystery. This was followed with the introduction of "Dial H for Hero" in issue #156 (January 1966),[3] which took over as headliner until issue #173 (March–April 1968).

It’s an approach to the character and material that almost certainly wouldn’t have been taken had Blue Beetle been a full-length movie rather than a short. But that’s always been the great thing about DC Showcase. The creative teams are free to experiment and take risks, with the results almost always speaking for themselves.
