"Originally published in single magazine form as Hellblazer: City Of Demons 1-5, Vertigo Winter's Edge 3"--T.p. verso.

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?

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?

With John's headaches getting worse, the last thing he needs is a twisted occult paternity suit. Never one to take family responsibilities too seriously, Constantine heads down a path that takes him straight into the belly of the beast.

After spending a year and a half wandering through the darkest corners of America, John Constantine has returned home! His port of entry is Liverpool, where the decaying landscape and gentle undercurrent of despair match his frame of mind. Of course, no sooner does he set foot upon his native land than he stumbles into a small-time necromancy-and-murder ring centered on his own sister’s apartment building. More worrying than this sordid little power trip is the disappearance of his niece, Gemma, who’s turning out to be a bit too much like her uncle for anybody’s good. In her eagerness to learn the family trade, Gemma has gone to London and fallen in with a bad crowd, and pulling her out means that Constantine will have to join the search for a distinctly nasty magical artifact-one that shouldn’t fall into anyone’s hands, least of all those of the man determined to find it. Critically acclaimed author Mike Carey kicks off his acclaimed run on England’s legendary magus with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 16: THE WILD CARD, collecting issues #175-188 of the signature Vertigo series and featuring the fan-favorite artistic talents of Marcelo Frusin, Steve Dillon, Lee Bermejo, Doug Alexander Gregory and Jock.

John Constantine is a bastard. But just how much of a bastard? As his grip on sanity loosens even further, he gets desperate enough to summon Shade, the Changing Man! But will Shade help or hurt his cause? And will John figure it out in time to walk down the aisle with the beautiful alchemist Epiphany Graves? With uninvited guests coming from both Heaven and Hell, what could go wrong? Plus, in City of Demons (illustrated by Batman: White Knight’s Sean Murphy), an accident leaves Constantine in the hospital-and when he gets out, the streets of London have become a very dark place…even by his standards. Collects Hellblazer #267-275 and John Constantine: Hellblazer: City of Demons #1-5.

Safe in sanctuary, Constantine is forced to relinquish the temptations of his hot and deviant nurse and limp back onto his beloved London streets only to find that things are changing fast in the City of Demons.
