It's here, on the outskirts of Las Vegas, where the trouble hounding John since his arrival in America finally catches up to him. Dream promises the arrival of an emissary who will help guide John toward the source of evil plaguing the country, but is their trust in this unknown envoy misplaced? And will it force John to come clean to Nat and Noah about his un-deadly secret?
Brilliantly written and illustrated, John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #6 is a stunning examination of everyone's favorite storytelling medium: comic books. Spurrier's text explodes with horror and humor that only a Hellblazer comic can bring to the table. Spurrier uses the inherent horror of Hellblazer to perfectly convey the subtext surrounding sacrifice. Additionally, Aaron Campbell's panel work perfectly captures the fourth-wall-breaking abilities of the metamancer and the horror vibes of the story's conflict. Moreover, Jordie Bellaire's colors bring the story of our perished protagonist to life. Read Full Review
It's another superb issue of John Constantine, Hellblazer and one bound to keep comic book readers talking as they await issue #7. Read Full Review
This story goes in a much darker direction than I was expecting at the outset, with the cliffhanger throwing the entire concept of the series for a loop. Given Constantine's complex creator, I can see some metacommentary being worked in here as this series continues to push the storytelling boundaries. Read Full Review
Campbell delivers beautifully detailed and visually complex art throughout the issue. I love the dark ominous look of this series especially when things start to get really intense and strange. Read Full Review
Brilliantly drawn and scripted with 2 book ends that could be placed either side. It's difficult to read this issue without looking at life differently. I suppose that any comic that makes you think about things you'd really rather avoid is doing something right.
