Acclaimed author Mike Carey continues his pivotal run on England's iconic antihero with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 17: OUT OF SEASON. In his countless encounters with the forces of evil, John Constantine has had his share of double crosses, near misses and narrowly averted disasters. Yet England's savviest street sorcerer has always managed to survive, with both his mind and the world at large left (mostly) intact. Now he's about to make the biggest mistake of his magical life-and every soul on Earth will pay the price. Thanks to Constantine's carelessness, the Beast of the Apocalypse has slouched into London to be born, and the minds of all humanity are at its mercy. From the Swamp Thing to Lucifer himself, the Hellblazer's allies and enemies alike are powerless to stop the slaughter. In order to save the world, Constantine must sacrifice his own mind, and all of the memories that go with it. Can he survive without the secrets of his own dark history? And if so, will the resulting life actually be a fate much worse than death? This volume of the signature VERTIGO features the all-star artistry of Marcelo Frusin, Leonardo Manco, Chris Brunner and Steve Dillon. (less)

The human race is a vast herd-one that John Constantine separated himself from a long time ago. The lonely path he's taken since then hasn't been an easy one, but in the end it's probably been for the best. Given his notoriety as England's greatest street-level sorcerer, every tie that binds him to his fellow man is just another potential weapon for his infernal enemies to use against him. Self-sufficiency, however, can all too easily shade into complacency-a lesson that John forgets when a desperate stranger corners him in a bar and pleads for his help. The simple spell he performs for his petitioner quickly ensnares the famed magician in a much larger web of ancient, elemental magic-and transfers his new acquaintance's crippling burden of universal empathy squarely onto his shoulders. Now Constantine must wage war against not only the powerful magus responsible for this hellish curse, but also the unfiltered emotions of an entire city. Typical for John's luck, that city is Glasgow, Scotland-a world center for alcoholism, depression and barely concealed rage. Celebrated crime novelist Denise Mina teams with acclaimed artists Leonardo Manco and Cristiano Cucina to feel each other's pain in Hellblazer Vol. 19: The Red Right Hand. (less)
