John Constantine, Hellblazer #20

John Constantine looks characteristically weary and defiant on Mikel Janín's striking cover — cigarette in hand, rumpled trench coat intact, with a swirling crimson backdrop of demonic figures and a woman looming ominously behind him. It's a vivid visual encapsulation of the world Andy Diggle and Leonardo Manco have built around DC/Vertigo's favorite occult troublemaker. Collecting stories under the "Systems of Control" banner, this 2019 volume is a fine entry point into Constantine's morally tangled, supernatural-soaked London.
