Hellblazer #3
In "The Poison Truth - Part 3," John Constantine turns to the enigmatic arch-mage Map for answers about London’s hidden currents—only to find the mage’s mind fractured and his revelations dangerously unstable. As Constantine pieces together a cryptic warning about a long-banished race returning, others close in: Clarice and her determined partner Marid, who seem to have their own reasons for seeking him out, while Swamp Thing and Mercury press deeper into the eerie realm of "The Rot" in search of Abigail Arcane. Written by Simon Oliver and illustrated with stark, atmospheric detail by Moritat—whose inks and colors shape the story’s grim tone—this issue blends urban mysticism with creeping dread, all under Moritat’s striking cover.

If you want to know anything about the city of London, just ask the arch-mage named Map. Constantine does just that, but quickly realizes that Map is not in his right frame of mind. John does receive a shard of information: something about a once-banished race of beings who are planning on making a big come-back. Others may have similar information - such as Clarice and her business partner Marid, who is very determined to meet Constantine...and, oddly enough, Swamp Thing. Mercury and Swamp Thing continue their search for Abigail Arcane and enter the realm known as "The Rot".
