Hellblazer 277

John Constantine just got married in the previous issues. John has been missing a thumb and this new story arc deals with the diificulty that he has with his missing thumb. Story centering around missing thumb is kind of refreshing to say the least. His wife Epiphany find that she can't live with John's missing thumb and so off John go to the doctors to find a new one. Finding a thumb is not easy as it looks.

John conjures up a spell of some sort to come up with the ideal way to get a new thumb, by predicting a fatal accident which is where he's gonna find one. The spell is energy sapping but he does make it to the location of the accident.

 As he was preparing to cut off one of the accident victim's thumb, a monster came to reclaim the victim's body as he has made a pact with the monster. But John would not have any of it and in the end he does get his thumb.

But things are going to get interesting as John has other problem as well which is not of his doing but of his other evil twin from the previous issue. The deed is done and a bunch of witch is summoning a monster that is gonna kill John in the next issue. Lets see there's any more tricks up his sleeve to deal with this. Peter Milligan sure has this series going on a interesting path with John's marriage and this missing thumb story arc.
