Hellblazer: The Gift #1

Story 
We begin with John's own personal oddyssey into Hell to save his sister Cheryl's soul.There were twists and truns that no one could see coming,major demons such as Nergal and The First of The Fallen return.This is probably one of the biggest wins that The First of The Fallen has ever gotten in the series.Then we get a stand alone issue called the Gift, it shows when John was young and had his first supernatural experience where he learns about his true talent.The bittersweet end is shown in R.S.V.P,John decides to burn his past and give the members of the Tate Club a surprising show. 
Art 
Manco is in prime form especially with R.S.V.P and Frazer Irving delivers unforgetable art that shows the true agnst in John's face. 
Favorite Quotes

John-I dont believe in coincidence. 
First Of The Fallen-Your being here does beggar belief somewhat constantine 
John-So i won didnt I? I won. Like always. 
Angie-You failed. It happens 
John-So. Magic. What's it all about, then? I wonder what you were after when you go into the game. It's usually something. Something specific that you think is worth taking risks for. Money. Sex. Revenge. Power. Enlightenment. Thinner thighs in thirty days. It's a long time ago for most of you, I know. Maybe you don't remember. Fuck, maybe you don't even want to. But I'll tell you something for free. At rock bottom, it's always about the same thing. It's always about entropy. The Universe is winding down. Things fall apart. The moving finger writes, and what it writes is "Tough shit." You can't get something for nothing. Like God said to Adam when he kicked him out of the garden, "Now you've got to work for a living." If there ever was a free lunch, it ended right there. So we push and we pull and we sweat. Putting in a shit-load of energy to get a little back. Third Law of Thermodynamics, right? The one we all love to hate. Cheers. But with magic, it's different. Or it could be. Case in point -- this fine old plonk. How did it get here? Grapes had to ripen. Peasants had to toil. Some plucky kid in Marks and Sparks had to zip a long the aisles with his pricing gun. Lots of effort. Lots of energy. And once it's gone, it's gone. When things fall apart -- they do not put themselves back together again. But if you ask a demon to bring you some wine -- or jiffy some up with a spell -- well, you're cheating the taxman, aren't you? It comes for free. No grapes. No peasants. No entropy. So here we all are, then. Chasing the earthly paradise. Trying to sneak back into Eden through the back door, because work is for mug punters. You stupid arrogant little shits. We're not playing fire, -- here we're playing with napalm. There's a war on and we're whoring with the enemy for pennies. Innocent people die when we fuck up. And we fuck up all the time. Oh, don't get me wrong. Eden's a nice place. I was there a few months back. Left a piece of myself buried in the ground there, for reasons I won't go into. So I can tell you, God hates our kind most especially. The cheats. The hellblazers. The collaborators. Look -- this is what Heaven has to say to the likes of us. 
Overview 
Carey's run is one of the best Hellblazer runs ever, he incorporated magic,realism and fanatsy.Some writers can only handle one but i can understand why many fans wanted  the series to end here.Its hard to surpass the best.
