John Constantine: Hellblazer Volume 1

Description

One of DC's most iconic characters--John Contantine, Hellblazer--is back the way you remember him, and now a part of the Sandman Universe, in this brand-new series! The bastard is back. England's legendary street-level sorcerer has returned to his grimy roots with a second lease on life. Which leaves him with just one question- How the hell did that happen? Brutally retrieved from a tangle of apocalyptic futures and outright insanity, the working-class magus finds himself restored to the haunted shadows of London, where local gangsters are being shredded by terrifying entities. Their boss wants to hire Constantine to help, and without a penny to his name--and with a gun in his face--who is he to say no? But this isn't an open-and-shut exorcism. To put this madness back in its bottle, John must work with the man who tried to replace him during his missing years, and confront an impossible power with a horribly familiar face... One of the DC Universe's most iconic characters comes screaming and swearing back to the comics page in John Constantine- Hellblazer Vol. 1- Marks of Woe, courtesy of infernal talents Simon Spurrier, Aaron Campbell, Matias Bergara, Marcio Takara, and more! Collects The Sandman Universe Presents- Hellblazer #1, John Constantine- Hellblazer #1-6, and Books of Magic #14.
