☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis trade paperback collects the controversial, long-unpublished 'Shoot' storyline from the pages of Hellblazer, written by Warren Ellis with art by Phil Jimenez. The story follows John Constantine as he investigates a series of school shootings, delving into themes of violence and societal decay. Originally completed in 2000 but withheld from publication for over a decade due to its sensitive subject matter, this edition finally presents the complete narrative along with additional material from Ellis's run.
In "Shoot," John Constantine is dragged back to his past when a film crew arrives in Newcastle to document his old band, Mucous Membrane. What begins as a grim documentary shoot quickly spirals into something far darker when the crew breaks into the abandoned site of a tragic night—unearthing a malevolent force tied to Constantine’s fractured history. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated with haunting precision by Sean Murphy, the issue’s cover by Tim Bradstreet captures the eerie tension of a story where the past refuses to stay buried.
In "Shoot," psychiatrist Penny Carnes teams up with John Constantine as she investigates the root causes of school shootings for the federal government—only to find Constantine already there, shadowing each tragedy with his own dark inquiries. The story unfolds as a tense, grounded exploration of trauma and mystery, where the line between healer and hunter blurs.
In "Newcastle Calling," John Constantine is pulled back to the haunted roots of his past when a film crew investigating his old band, Mucous Membrane, breaks into the site of a long-ago tragedy. What begins as a documentary shoot quickly unravels into something far darker, as the crew awakens something buried beneath the city’s decay.
