Hellblazer 281

The vivid cover for this issue speaks a lot as John Constantine have to face off against a demon summoned by his nephew Gemma. John conjures a few spells and in the doing so also gets whack around for trying to trap the demon. Gemma feeling guilty of what she has done ran to get help from John's wife Epiphany. Gemma explained the whole story. Epiphany gets an idea and concocts a substance to help John subdue the demon.


On reaching John, John has managed to trap the demon but not for long as his spell doesn't have much affect. The demon was finally brought down using the substance that Epiphany has causing the demon to choke to death. John has a few funny one liners and some were down right sarcastic. That is the way to go if he's under pressure and in danger. But in the end the relationship between John and his nephew is irreparable no matter how John makes up for it. Overall a lot of action in this issue pitting John with the help of his wife against the bird like demon.
