Though DC ’s editorial insurance policy would alter afterwards and bothHellblazerandDoom Patrolwould both go on to be part of the Vertigo telephone line and a disjoined partake realism set up aside from the primary DC Universe , succeeding author would bear on to practice Willoughby Kipling even though the demand for him had vanish .
TheDoom Patrolseries interpretation of the graphic symbol , as flirt bySupernatural ’s Mark Sheppard , is both a protection to the leftover chronicle of the root stuff and a desirable pardner to Matt Ryan ’s take on Constantine .
It persist to be see , however , if either of these con - piece magus will be testify up to pest Alec Holland inDC Universe ’s upcomingSwamp Thingseries .
