Constantine #4

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Constantine #4 arrives in 2013 with a rain-soaked cover that puts the fearsome Papa Midnite front and center — snarling, spike-adorned, and looming over what appears to be a helpless John Constantine, who is pinned beneath him amid a surge of undead figures clawing in from the edges. The tagline "The Power of the Undead!" makes the stakes clear, and the cover art by Eddy Barrows and inker Eber Ferreira renders every rain-slicked detail with visceral energy. Written by Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes with interior art by Fabiano Neves, this issue promises a dark confrontation between DC's most cunning occultist and one of his most dangerous adversaries.
