Hellblazer #260 - Vertigo

Man . . it's to bad Simon Bisely can't stay on this book forever. Well, I know that would never happen. But a few more issues would be nice. First of all we get this fantastic cover by Simon. Then on the inside . . Simon does a bang-up job with the art. I kind of expected it to look like his stuff from the various Lobo books he's done. But . . this had a completely different feel to it. But cool, none the less. Anyways, Peter Milligan's story here is called the Long Crap Friday. John is already be chased by the police for Phoebe's death. Now he's being chased by a gangster too . . Terry Greaves. His daughter is/was Epiphany. So, since it looks like she's dead too . . Terry wants to rip his intestines out. Actually he want to turn him into meat-pie and sell him in the old east end, to tourists. John is ready to skip the country and go to India, where he thinks that Charles will be able to help him. But before he can get out, Terry gets John's mate Chas and is torturing him, with promises to kill if John doesn't return. John comes back and does a little voodoo that brings Phoebe out of her little trance . . or coma . . whatever. So now that Terry's happy . . as long as Epiphany's condition doesn't change . . John is once again trying to get off to India and see if his friend Charles can help him bring Phoebe back. And yes, by back I mean . . back to the land of the living. It's a long shot, but John still thinks he can do it. These last 2 issue have been fantastic. The next 4 issues are going to be the India storyline. Peter will again be writing, with Giuseppe Camuncoli doing the art. This is a great series. You should check it out . . if you aren't.
