The signs have been appearing too frequently, and with too
much violence, to be mistaken any longer. Something dark and
fearsome beyond measure is chewing its way through the membranes
that separate this world from the howling chaos that surrounds
it, and John Constantine is determined to crush the threat
any way he can. With the grudging help of several "colleagues"
in the magic game, as well as his niece Gemma, his new girlfriend
Angie, and the being known as the Swamp Thing, Constantine
is fashioning an inescapable snare for humanity's would-be
destroyer. But who is going to be the bait for this waking
nightmare - and who will really be caught when the trap is
sprung...?
Staring
at the Wall is
the third volume collecting Mike Carey's take on the Hellblazer
universe. This collection reprints the apocalyptic story arcs
Bred in the Bone and Staring at the Wall from
issues 187-193 of Hellblazer.
Has
Constantine finally met his match? When he is tricked into
allowing an unspeakable evil lose on earth, our hero has to
race against the clock to put everything back the way it should
be. However, with mankind slowly sinking deeper into the abyss,
what good will it do us if Constantine prevails? Already millions
of humans have succumbed to the madness that has sent them
off on a killing spree.
This
collection is one of the most gripping Constantine yarns I've
read to date. It's creepy, intelligently written and beautifully
illustrated. There's also an amusing nod given to Dr
No - while raising from the sea and onto a
beach, Gemma asks herself whether Ursula Andress got hypothermia
and sand in her knickers.
Hellblazer
fans will not be disappointed.
