During New York Comic Con 2023‘s “Coming Up in the DC Multiverse” panel, it was revealed that Si Spurrier, Aaron Campbell, and Jordie Bellaire are teaming up for the DC Black Label Series John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America.
The eight issue series kicks off in January 2024 and spins out of Spurrier and Campbell’s previous John Constantine, Hellblazer. The series has Constantine heading to the United States to deal with gods and monsters from the world of DC and Sandman. The Dream of the Endless and Swamp Thing are two of the characters he’ll have to deal with. Each issue will feature extra content, with 28 story pages and no ads.
In John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America, John has cheated death once again—but his heart’s not beating, his body is decaying, and he, his friend Nat, and his son Noah are on the run in America, wanted for murder. Naturally, it’s all John’s fault—it always is. But as it turns out, Dream himself needs John’s help. Something terrible has taken root in America, and it’s using the sand from Dream’s pouch to impose its will. If John can put a stop to it, he might be able to parlay that favor into a chance to save all their lives—but he’s going to need help from someone he hasn’t spoken to in years. Someone he wasn’t always…all that kind to. Someone…or some…Thing?
John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #1 will be available at local comic shops on January 16, 2024, and is intended for readers 17+. The debut issue features a main cover by series artist Aaron Campbell, variant covers by Jock, and Sean Phillips, and a 1:25 variant by Matías Bergara.
