Hellblazer 280


John's nephew Gemma planned to set him up by summoning a demon monster to kill him off. This issue reflects to the motive for  Gemma doing this as she narrates her story and motive throughout the issue. In the past issue John's body was possesed by an impostor an violated Gemma. John was not aware of what his impostor body has done and so do Gemma who didn't know this also and determined to seek retribution.


Since then she was not her own self as she waits for John's arrival towards a trap. The creature summoned is not stupid as it seems and tried to get ways to its own advantage throughout the issue. After John's arrival the bird like creature ambushed John and proved too strong for John's counter magic. John was injured and at his wits end as the story ends with Gemma walking out on him leaving him to deal with the creature.

The issue is penciled by guess artist Gael Bertrand and the characters rendering are different from issues by previous artist. The style reminds me of Eduardo Risso's penciling in 100 Bullets.
