John Constantine: Hellblazer #11

Part one of "This Sceptred Isle" arrives with a cover that frames John Constantine — trenchcoat, cigarette in hand — standing before a crumbling Union Jack campaign poster urging voters to support "Clem Thurso," its slogans warning that migration is "Invasion." Looming behind him, partially peeling away from the wall, is a torn image of a horned, shadowy figure overlapping a stern human face, suggesting something sinister lurking beneath the surface of British political theatre. John Paul Leon's cover work is quietly unsettling, and with Simon Spurrier writing and Jordie Bellaire's colors grounding the whole thing in a muted, grim palette, this Sandman Universe Black Label entry looks like essential reading for fans of occult noir with a sharp social edge.
