Hellblazer: City of Demons #5

The concluding chapter of City of Demons arrives with a cover that says everything about John Constantine's world without saying a word — a weary, disheveled Constantine sits hunched at a piano, surrounded by dark, smoky energy, while behind him looms a bleeding, eerily calm woman entwined in a massive tentacled creature adorned with unblinking eyes, tiny falling figures tumbling through the air above. Sean Murphy's linework is striking in its contrast: the mundane exhaustion of a man at a keyboard set against genuinely unsettling supernatural horror. If this five-issue Vertigo miniseries has been on your radar, issue five of five is exactly the kind of finale cover that makes you want the whole set on your shelf.
