    Bloody Good!

    I decided to pick Scab quite a while after i finished the Holiday Special. I wanted to experience the work of Peter Milligan. I had read some a'his work in Human Target (Vertigo) And such, but i did not know SCAB was this friggin' good. I should start giving Hellblazer my two cents every month. I love the pacing skills of Mr. Milligan and the art of Guiseppe Camuncoli. Although it's not that scary, it suits the mood of the story. I liked the fact that John has a new girlfriend, she's bloody gorgeous and is concerned about John's situation... That's something, regarding his ever-naughy-not-so-nice nature. I felt a lil' bit uncomfortable when looking at the panels where we get to see John's current disease, a nasty fungi-looking thing he's trying to get rid of. How on earth will John Constantine be able to erradicate the so-called Scab!? Will Phoebe survive the epic adventure? And what kind of bussiness does John have back at his hometown Liverpool? I can't wait to read the conclusion of this great arc.
