Hellblazer #1
This volume collects the opening arc of the 2017 Hellblazer series, part of the DC Universe Rebirth initiative. Writer Simon Oliver and artist Moritat reintroduce John Constantine as he returns to London, only to find himself entangled in a dark conspiracy involving a mysterious toxin and his own past sins. The story blends supernatural horror with street-level grit, staying true to the character's Vertigo roots while operating within the main DC continuity.
In "The Poison Truth, Part 2," John Constantine returns to the shadows of London, where silence feels heavier than usual. When he tracks down Clarice Sackville at the Tate Club, her guarded words hint at a deeper current beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Mercury reaches out to Swamp Thing with a fragile promise—helping him search for Abby, even as the past begins to stir.
In "The Poison Truth, Part 3," John Constantine seeks answers from the arch-mage Map, only to find the man unraveling—his mind fraying as he whispers of a long-banished race stirring once more. As Constantine pieces together fragments of truth, Clarice and her enigmatic partner Marid close in, driven by a purpose that ties them to both Constantine and Swamp Thing. Meanwhile, Mercury and Swamp Thing venture deeper into the corrupted realm of "The Rot," hunting for Abigail Arcane amid a world where reality itself is rotting.
In "The Poison Truth, Part 4," John Constantine finds himself trapped in a high-stakes standoff with his friend Chas, after a reckless bet lands them both in the crosshairs of the ruthless gangster White Boy. With the Djinn plotting a dangerous return and the occult world unraveling, Constantine must navigate the fallout while Mercury and Swamp Thing face their own deadly threat in the twisted realm of The Rot.
In "The Poison Truth, Part 5," John Constantine grapples with the lingering aftermath of his journey through the Rot, where Mercury glimpsed the truth behind the Djinn’s return. As Clarice and Marid push forward with their dark designs, John confronts revelations about Marj—his former lover and Mercury’s mother—whose fate remains entwined with the unfolding conspiracy.
In "The Poison Truth, Part 6," a quiet train ride from London to Paris becomes a turning point as Mercury shares a haunting revelation with John—her encounter with Adnan the Djinn, brother to the enigmatic Marid, born from the depths of The Rot’s wormhole. Back in London, at the shadowy heart of the Tate Club, Marid and Clarice gather the city’s most dangerous minds, unveiling a desperate mission to save humanity from its own unraveling.
