Hellblazer #215

John Constantine dominates this striking Tim Bradstreet cover for Hellblazer #215, cigarette dangling from his lips and one scarred hand raised, while a cascade of fragmented photographs swirls around him — each shard revealing a different face, suggesting a web of lives and identities caught in his orbit. It's a fittingly unsettling visual for the conclusion of "R.S.V.P.," the two-part story brought to life inside by writer Mike Carey and artist Leonardo Manco. Vertigo's mature-readers label is well earned here, and this February 2006 issue promises the kind of morally tangled supernatural tension that has always made Constantine one of comics' most compelling figures.
