Written by Andy DiggleArt by Leonardo Manco
Andy Diggle has had a very successful run on Hellblazer. I hadn't read the book for years, having lost interest at some point after Garth Ennis's historic run, but as I'd loved The Losers I felt it was worth checking this series out for a few issues when I heard that Diggle was coming on as writer.
He's done a great job of crafting a long-running story; this issue returns us to the events and themes of the beginning of his run, and also reaches back to the heights of Ennis's. We learn the truth behind John Constantine's cancer of way back, and also learn the secret of the 'Synchronicity Highway' he's been known to follow.
Hellblazer is, alongside The Sandman, the quintessential Vertigo book, and this run has been textbook perfect Vertigo.
