This collection contains two stories &#8211; India and No Future.<\/p>\n<p>The main story, India, continues the storyline from writer Peter Milligan that extends back to the start of his run on the book. In it a grief stricken John Constantine travels to India to purify his soul so that he can resurrect his dead, on-off girlfriend, Phoebe. While there he runs across a demon that is killing young girls in Mumbai that he must dispel before he can get what he is after from a local holy man.<\/p>\n<p>The second story has echoes of John&#8217;s youth when he visits a punk collective on the verge of a Tory election victory. This story has a possessed effigy of Sid Vicious, evil, demonic Tories masterminding the election strategy and John getting a punk haircut.<\/p>\n<p>A good collection but as the storyline carries on from the previous two collections it is maybe not a book for the casual reader. Nice to see Peter Milligan&#8217;s take on this character. I always feel that Hellblazer works best when a British writer is at the helm &#8211; the Azzarello run was not my most favourite &#8211; Milligan is a long time favourite of mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book collects issues 261 to 266 of this long running title from Vertigo &#8211; it has been published continuously for 22 years and is the only title that survives from the imprint&#8217;s launch.
