Hellblazer #179

Hellblazer #179 brings readers to the penultimate chapter of Mike Carey's "Red Sepulchre" arc, with Tim Bradstreet's cover delivering a striking collage of dread and cool menace. A sharp-suited figure dominates the foreground armed with an assault rifle, flanked by panels featuring a skull amid scattered bullet casings, two mirrored "The Magician" tarot cards, and a wary blond man holding a lighter — all framed beneath an ominous red geometric symbol. It's a carefully composed visual that captures the occult tension and hard-edged atmosphere Vertigo's long-running supernatural series does so well.
