“The Mortification of the Flesh” Part 2

Father Luigi Grimaldi has a problem locked in a backroom of the Vatican Apostolic PalaceJohn Constantine offers his help, but first he needs a special book from the Vatican’s “Black Library.”  Why?

[This issue contains a preview of Madame Xanadu #1.]

THE LOWDOWN:  It’s no exaggeration that in Andy Diggle’s hands, Hellblazer is once again a great, must-read comic book.  When it comes to the plot, Diggle always has a wicked surprise to go with the series’ general wickedness, and Hellblazer #244 is sweet evil.  The guest art team of Giuseppe Camuncoli & Stefano Landini is also pitch perfect for this storyline.

POSSIBLE AUDIENCE:  Everyone who has ever read even one issue of this series should start again.
