My Favorite Hellblazer Story.
Yes, better than Dangerous Habits. This is John Constantine at his best. A bit of dark magic here and there, a bit of fisticuffs, and a whole lot of smoking. Sure, he's a bit of a bastard, but that's why he's such an interesting character. Not one prone to fighting, he uses his knowledge of the occult and skills at conning to win his battles. This particular story shows all of these things, with a bit of mouthing off to the highest of demons for good measure. Manco's art is absolutely delicious, and Carey has shown himself capable of spinning a good tale (yarn?). If you have any interest in John Constantine at all, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book as a starting point..
