Hellblazer #229 - Vertigo


This issue was really just kind of a fill in issue. Andy Diggle takes over the writing chores next month. And the empathy engine story wrapped up last issue. So this issue, John's in a bar, and one of his mates wants him to "fuk wit'" some of the locals. Nothing major, he just wants John to give 'em a stomach virus or something. So John goes into this story about how whenever you use magic, no matter how insignificant it may seem, there's always a price to pay. So to quote one of my favorite movies, " . . . you have to make sure the juice is worth the squeeze." If John did every favor everyone asked of him, he'd be left to pay the price, while they went on their merry way, never the wiser. So even though it may be fun to "fuk wit'" people sometimes, sometimes it's just not worth it. "The juice is definitely not worth the squeeze."
