Review - Hellblazer #282



Hellblazer #282 by Vertigo/DC Comics. Written by Peter Milligan. Drawn by Simon Bisley. $2.99

Simon Bisley continues to be a master in drawing horror and expressions. John Constantine is asked by his wife Epiphany's gangster father to enter a prison that has anyone that goes there so frightened they would rather kill themselves than go back inside.

Once inside he finds out an old Demon that was brought into the world by a whore of Ishtar to bring misery to man. This bastard is one sadistic little shit. The things he does to the prisoners on a day to day basis would break any man ten times over.

Peter Milligan has really come into his own with is writing for this title. Many writers have said that Hellblazer, or any of the Vertigo titles, can be a bitch to write for due to the subject matter. But Milligan brings Hellblazer back as a well thought out horror comic.

Hellblazer is a consistent horror/arcane comic series that keeps the reader coming back for more every time. And even if you only collect certain story-lines, it is hard to pass up this Vertigo title.
