Although Heartland is technically a spin-off of Hellblazer, the central character of that series, John Constantine, makes no appearance.

[1] Kit Ryan is a girl from Northern Ireland who was once romantically linked with the sorcerer and "occult detective" John Constantine.

It is soon revealed that her father had been an alcoholic who was both physically and mentally abusive, and whose passing has stirred up a host of family dramas into which Kit finds herself thrust once more.

[1] Heartland was also the title of the story published in issue #70 of the Hellblazer comic, again written by Garth Ennis with art by Steve Dillon.

Like the later one-shot, the story features Kit Ryan, returning home to Northern Ireland after her break-up with John Constantine.
