The very last cover to Hellblazer, ever.

Following the decision to axe DC’s longest running title, Hellblazer is finishing up in February 2013 with this cover. The decision to move the character into a superhero-centric universe instead of the usual bastard-centric one has upset a lot of people.

This is because it is a stupid decision.

Nice cover, Simon. I wish we could have had more.

 

It’s the heart-rending conclusion of “DEATH AND CIGARETTES”

and the end of Vertigo’s longest running series. John Constantine has escaped, cheated, narrowly avoided and even reversed death on multiple occasions over the past 25 years. Now, we will test whether the old boy has one more second chance in him. Don’t miss this epic, oversized special issue celebrating everything that makes John Constantine so bloody unique.
