John Constantine
has survived his share of horrifying events: a bout with cancer,
four-headed soccer hooligans, a stint in a maximum security prison,
and more trips to Hell than he probably cares to recall. In this
month’s gala HELLBLAZER #200, he’ll face a threat even he could
never envision: married life.

Mike Carey is joined by a trio of past, present and future HELLBLAZER
artists — Steve Dillon, Marcelo Frusin, and Leonardo Manco — for
this 40-page tale that finds Constantine living a day of wedded
“bliss.” In three separate-yet-connected tales, Constantine finds
himself united in unholy matrimony to three women from his past,
but, as the story unfolds, he soon realizes that a much more sinister
force is behind what could be the worst day of his life.

 THE
ORIGINALS HC
Written by Dave Gibbons
Art and cover by Gibbons
THE ORIGINALS.
When they walk, they look cool. When they ride, they drive fast.
And when they hate, they fight — brutally.
One of comics’
most esteemed names, Dave Gibbons (co-creator and artist of WATCHMEN
and Give Me Liberty) arrives at VERTIGO to deliver an original hardcover
graphic novel he’s been waiting his entire life to write and draw.
Lel and Bok
— two best friends — want nothing more than to join the Originals,
the top gang on the streets. Through them, they'll meet the high-speed
world of hover scooters, all-night clubs, and, for Lel, the girl
of his dreams. But with the fast life comes tough foes, and tribal
loyalty will teach them the unforgettable meaning of unforgivable
loss.
Neither a science-fiction
story nor set in a mundane reality, THE ORIGINALS takes place in
a world both familiar and strange, where the young are angry, loyal
and fight for what they believe in. And the only thing more important
than who your friends are is who your friends hate.
