When an alluring Muslim woman catches Constantine's eye, she also brings trouble clattering to his doorstep: a bombing in a London museum, mysterious ancient Sumerian artifacts, a terrifying creature running rampant with renegade intentions... To save his live and freedom, Constantine embarks on a desperate trail from the back streets of London to the detainment centres and battlegrounds of contemporary Iraq - where the man who's seen everything will see a modern-day horror he's never previously imagined...

Pandemonium is a sort of 25th anniversary special to commemorate the first appearance of John Constantine, and brings back Jamie Delano - the very first Hellblazer writer to take Constantine to a hell far worse than any he's seen before - the frontlines of war.

When members of the Iraqi insurgency are demonically possessed, and there's only one man who can get to the bottom of it - John Constantine! From cold and foggy London to the hot and brutal climate of Iraq, Constantine finds himself embroiled in an ancient mystery, and at the mercy of a beautiful and intriguing female Iraqi agent.

A fitting tribute to 25 years of Hellblazer.
