A new adventure starring Vertigo's longest running antihero, John Constantine, England's chain-smoking, low-rent magus, featuring artwork by Sean Murphy, illustrator of JOE THE BARBARIAN. When John Constantine is run over by a truck, it takes a little while for England's nicotine-fueled magus to realize that he's perched between life and death. After a few weeks of hospital rehab, Constantine finds the London streets very different from when he left them behind as a series of occult murders and mutilations demands his attention. The common denominator points back to the ER where Constantine was admitted.

On the run from the law and a couple of power-crazed occultists, John finds himself needing an ally on the inside, but who can he trust? And more to the point, who in their right mind would trust John Constantine?

John and his associates investigate why Steve Evans' well-intentioned invention caused mass suicides, which led to the quarantine of Glasgow.

With the mystery of the invisible girl solved and his headaches getting worse, John Constantine is literally going underground into the belly of the beast that is the City of Demons. Will John finally just get the girl and not regret it?
