From the pages of Neil Gaiman's multi award-winning Sandman series...Cast out of heaven, thrown down to rule in Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his post and abandoned his infernal kingdom for the mortal city of Los Angeles. But retirement means only opportunity for Lucifer's many and varied enemies, all of whom have bitter and long memories, and it's going to take more than quick wits to survive the coming storm. As Lucifer bids to reclaim his lost wings, so his mortal vulnerability is revealed, and from the grim tapestry of his past the agents of chaos gather, ready to feast on his damned soul!

There is war in Heaven. Hot war, not cold. Dirty, total and absolute, like the war that Lucifer brought when the worlds were young. But this time the Fallen One fights on Heaven's side. A new host, born of Lilith, is on the march against the Silver City, and the Lightbringer must descend into his former realm to find an army willing to defend Its holy walls. But his powers are waning, and Hell has a new king - one who is not at all sympathetic to Lucifer's cause. As the chaos spreads across two creations, sinking the worlds into despair and bleeding the souls of humankind into the void, the champions of life make their last stand on the plain of Armageddon: a fallen angel, a demon and a human woman, set against the wolf of destruction and an army that cannot be numbered. And, it seems, against God - for God may already have decided that they should lose.

The looming apocalypse arrives in the third collection of writer Mike Carey's acclaimed run on HELLBLAZER, reprinting the 2-part "Bred in the Bone" (illustrated by Doug Alexander Gregory) and the 5-part "Staring at the Wall" (illustrated by Marcelo Frusin) from issues #187-193.

Knowing that the apocalypse is looming on the horizon and threatening to destroy everything, John Constantine is forced to turn to Nergal, one of his fiercest foes, for help.

A new trade paperback collecting issues #175-180 of the flagship VERTIGO series! In pursuit of his runaway niece Gemma, Constantine faces a crew that thinks they can use her as a goad to make him do their bidding. But Constantine has never been known for taking orders — or for his forgiving nature.

Immortalised in his own live action movie (starring Keanu Reeves) comes a classic comics character: John Constantine, the enigmatic and dangerous, chain-smoking mystical star of Hellblazer! Throughout his career, magical troubleshooter John Constantine has faced horrors beyond human comprehension, stared down devils and battled demons. Not much scares him now; as long as he has his smokes and his trench coat he can see it through. He even tries to be a nice guy.... some of the time. By acclaimed creator Mike Carey (Lucifer), with art from talented newcomer Marcelo Frusin, it's Constantine at his devilish best!

Forty years ago, writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby created a team of adventurers like no other that had come before. Unlike previous groups of stone-jawed super heroes who got along perfectly in their pursuit of liberty and justice, the Fantastic Four bickered, argued, and fought among themselves - just like a real family. Their continued adventures around the world, into outer space, and throughout uncharted dimensions have pushed the limits of the Marvel Universe, consistently challenging readers' perceptions of what a comic book could be.

For as long as she can remember, Vampirella has hunted her own kind - driven by the same bloodthirsty compulsions, but directed at her fanged siblings instead of the innocent. She harnesses all the same supernatural strengths, but suffers none of their weaknesses. Why does she stand apart? What is the horrific truth behind her relationship with Lilith, the mother of all vampires? Left shattered by these revelations, Vampirella must survive the machinations of the demon Belial and the Blood Red Queen! Featuring the writing talent of Mike Carey (Hellblazer, X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four) and Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, Vampire), with artwork by Mike Lilly (Nightwing) and Stephen Segovia (Wolverine)!
