Hellblazer #256

Peter Milligan kicks off a new three-part arc as John Constantine strides through a rain-lashed city street, cigarette lit and tie whipping in the wind — a man utterly at home in the gutter and the storm. Simon Bisley's cover renders the trenchcoated occultist with gritty, rain-soaked atmosphere, neon signs and urban debris framing him like a world that's already lost the fight. "Hooked" promises the kind of dark, street-level supernatural tension that makes Hellblazer one of Vertigo's most enduring mature-readers titles.
