Volume 2
The Hellblazer Vol. 2: The Smokeless Fire
The City of Light is a world away from John Constantine's regular stomping grounds in the Old Smoke, but the two erstwhile imperial capitals have more in common than you might think. They're both among the oldest and grimiest burgs in Europe; they're both centers of political and economic power; and now, following the arrival of the infamous street-level sorcerer known as the Hellblazer, they're both potentially ground zero for the kind of magical Armageddon not seen since the days of King Solomon.
All across the Île-de-France, from the winding streets of her charming arrondissements to the crime-plagued towers of her gritty banlieues, Constantine leads his allies and enemies alike on a desperate search for a Djinn, a journal, and the dark, long-buried secrets that bind them together.
At long last, England's greatest magus is closing in on the prize he's chased across the Channel. But once he has it in his grasp, will he discover he's too good a man to use it? Or will the climactic confrontation ignite an infernal fire in the Hellblazer's heart?
Find out in THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 2: THE SMOKELESS FIRE, the latest tale of mystical intrigue rising from the pages of DC's blockbuster Rebirth event—as detailed by acclaimed author Simon Oliver and celebrated artists Davide Fabbri, Philip Tan and José Marzán Jr.! Collects issues #7-12 of the ongoing series.
Volume 3
The Hellblazer Vol. 3: The Inspiration Game
Death doesn't just become John Constantine—it shadows the poor bastard's every step, from his home turf of London to the streets of San Francisco. What's more, it has a nasty habit of striking where the DC Universe's street-level sorcerer least expects it—like his dreams.
After waking from a vengeful drunken nightmare, Constantine finds that a real-life murder has been committed. Could he have done the deed himself in a blacked-out rage? Or is some sinister force turning his subconscious mind into the ultimate untraceable weapon?
Until he discovers the truth, no one is safe. But the Hellblazer knows better than anyone how inconstant and malleable the truth can be—particularly when it's in the hands of a magus with his talent and experience. Faced with the possibility of fulfilling his heart's most secret desires, will he be able to resist their siren song? Or will he end up rewriting all of reality to suit his ego?
Mystical mysteries flow thicker than the San Francisco fog in The Hellblazer Vol. 3: The Inspiration Game, straight from the collective unconscious of writers Tim Seeley and Richard Kadrey and artists Jesús Merino, Davide Fabbri and José Marzán Jr.! Collects issues #13-18 of the ongoing series.
Volume 4
The Hellblazer Vol. 4: The Good Old Days
"John Constantine is getting back to basics… the strong characterization makes it an enjoyable read." —IGN
A wave of demonic possession is about to hit London, and its first victim is someone near and dear to John Constantine: Detective Chief Inspector Margaret Ames, whose recent involvement with the Hellblazer has left her (as such interactions often do) both furious and vulnerable.
Tricked by an unscrupulous priest into playing host to one of Hell's more enterprising inmates, DCI Ames is about to become the catalyst for an infernal plan to unleash a flood of unquiet spirits onto the mortal plane—unless Constantine can find her first.
He's not the only one stalking the inspector, however. The Vatican has sent its own agent, Helena Bertinelli (a.k.a. the Huntress), to nip this potential apocalypse in the bud—and she's not overly concerned with avoiding casualties, civilian or police. Can Constantine keep the Huntress at bay while still managing to save Margaret's soul—not to mention the rest of the world?
Writer Tim Seeley and artists Davide Fabbri and Christian Dalla Vecchia bring this acclaimed chapter in the saga of John Constantine to its phenomenal finish in The Hellblazer Vol. 4: The Good Old Days, collecting issues #19-24 of the celebrated series.
