John Constantine, the mage you love to hate, continues his adventures through the mainstream DC Universe in THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 1: THE POISON TRUTH! Constantine is back in London, reuniting with old friends--and older enemies: There's Chas Chandler, his best mate; Mercury, the young psychic, the Earth elemental known as the Swamp Thing; and, of course, more demons and djinns than you can cast a curse at. If he's going to survive this hell-raising homecoming, Constantine will have to play fast and loose with the rules--and with the souls of everyone residing in the Old Smoke. Evil is a surprisingly common infection, but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease... THE HELLBLAZER VOL. 1: THE POISON TRUTH brings one of comics' greatest antiheroes back to his roots--courtesy of the creative team of Simon Oliver, Moritat, Pia Guerra and Jose Marzan Jr.! This brand-new starting point collects issues #1-6 and the one-shot special THE HELLBLAZER: REBIRTH.

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 le-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 Jos Marz n Jr.! Collects issues #7-12 of the ongoing series.
