Hellblazer 283

To John Constantine, to loose his trenchcoat is a big deal. Bad things will happen and all this is the focus of this new story line concentrating on John's trenchcoat. Its amazing how the writer weaves the story as a major part of John's character and infusing it with life like its part of a limb. Gemma, John's niece is still angry at John for allowing his evil body double to rape her in the previous story. Gemma stole the trenchcoat and sold it online to some guy.

The trenchcoat has a consciousness as it narrates through the story, persuading the new owner Muzzie to put it on. The stench on the trenchcoat is unbearable even after going through the laundry. The stench is like a curse and infected the other laundry causing people to grow mad trying to remove the stench including cutting ones nose and setting oneself on fire.


John meanwhile is trying to locate his trenchcoat back as weird things starts happening to him in the absence of his trenchcoat like getting teleported to the river Thames while sleeping and blood oozing from his apartment. Got to see it to believe it. Muzzie meanwhile wearing the trenchcoat develops a whole new personality and confidence with the help of the consciousness of the trenchcoat and got himself a chick at a bar. After a wild night the girl wanted him to dump the coat. The trenchcoat tried to talk Muzzie out of dumping it but Muzzie is too scared of loosing the gorgeous girlfriend. What came as a shock is as Muzzie is taking the trenchcoat to the trash, he was killed after being hit by a motorcycle. What makes you think that this character is going to be a major part of the story suddenly is knocked off so that the trenchcoat journey of cursing another new owner begins.
