John Constantine, his son Noah, and bodyguard Nat have been blazing a trail across the face of America in their double-decker Routemaster bus, finding themselves on the wrong end of an eruption of supernatural and mystical threats--all thanks to a scattering of Dream's sand. In this anthology-format issue, three particularly memorable run-ins with hitchhikers and drifters on America's roadsides come to the fore...but can Constantine add up their meaning in time to uncover who--or what--is to blame for this rise in terror?

May 21, 2024John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #5 takes a bit of a detour from the main story but takes the time to remind readers of the major themes the series has been covering. An anthology issue can take a bit of steam out of the main story or seem forced as a way to give the creative team a break but here it feels like the opportunity to cover more ground in a meaningful way. Series like John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America dont come around often and this issue shouldnt be missed. Read Full Review

The journey meanders of into many stories within stories and makes the framework for the real story all the richer. The diverse art and voice was reminiscent of different times of what is John. Not going to lie but I want an 80pg special written this way each summer as I could never tire of these short stories.
