Hellblazer #263 - Vertigo

Peter Milligan only gives us bits and pieces of the puzzle this issue. John is in India right now. He's enlisted the aid of this mage to help him get Phoebe back, but . . the mage has asked for some help in return. It seems there's a demon hunting the streets of Mumbai, and he's taking the lives of wanna-be Bollywood starlets. Which is really no coincidence, because he has a casting director working for him. Anyways, this demon is the incarnation of an old reprobate who used to run in the circles of the rich and elite in India, Colonel George Burke of the White Hussars. It seems he had a sadistic appetite even when he was a live, but it's been made worse by his acclimation of power. Anyways, Epiphany ends up in India also. It appears that the mage sent a dream to her. He told her that she should come here looking for John. However, the casting director was in love with one of the victims that the demon has chosen. He tries to save her, to barter with the demon, but he ends up killed in the process. So that means, the demon is loose with no one to control, or guide it. Things are about to get ugly in the streets of Mumbai. As always, Peter is writing an interesting story here. And Giuseppe Camuncoli is interpreting it with his unique style of art. It's supposed to wrap up next issue, so . . I can't wait to see what happens. By the way . . beautiful cover by Simon Bisley.
