John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #6

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

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.
