Hellblazer #207

John Constantine broods at the center of Tim Bradstreet's moody cover for this 2005 Vertigo series — jacket-clad and hunched, surrounded by faint circular sigils that suggest occult forces closing in, while a strip of smaller images along the bottom hints at a dark, layered world of shadowy figures and troubled faces. Mike Carey and Leonardo Manco kick off a six-part arc with the ominous title "Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go," and that atmosphere of dread is already palpable before you've turned a single page. If you enjoy supernatural noir told with real weight and craft, this is a great place to dive in.
