This book collects issues 267 to 275 of the ongoing Hellblazer series. It was written by Peter Milligan, who has been the series writer since issue 250, with art from Giuseppe Camuncoli, Stefano Landini and Simon Bisley. The book has two stories. The first called Sectioned sees Constantine violently losing it with Epiphany and then starting to lose his grip on reality and ending up in a psychriatric hospital. He summons Shade to help him escape and figure out what is going on but Shade's madness contaminates a potion Epiphany has made to heal her facial wounds which disfigures her even more. But Shade has a price for his help that John is unwilling to pay. The second story, Bloody Carnations, has Shade take Epiphany to Meta to heal her face but while there he tries to convince her that she is the dead Kathy George. Angry when she refuses him, Shade sends her back to Earth but in 1979 as a punishment both to her and to Constantine of whom he was jealous. Having decided that he wants to marry Epiphany, John must disrupt the plans of Nergal, who is determined that he not find happiness, and rescue his bride-to-be from his younger self. Milligan takes Constantine back to familiar territory with this volume. Echoing episodes from his past with the incarceration in a mental institution and the return of Nergal and Gary Lester amongst others who gather for the wedding. I much prefer this kind of Hellblazer story where John is on his old stomping ground rather than when he is off on road trips such as in the last volume India. One reference to the old days that was a bit off for me was the reappearance of Kit, his true love from Garth Ennis' run on the series. Apparently, he loves Epiphany more than he loved Kit which I find hard to swallow given his seeming indifference to her in the last couple of collections. Also someone should have given the artists a sample of what Kit looks like as I only knew who she was as she was referred to by name. But these are minor quibbles from a big fan of the Ennis run. On the whole this is a great book with Constantine at his tricksy best.

** spoiler alert ** I realize that, for a lot of people, Tanya Huff is kind of hit or miss. Actually, that's a lie. For me, Tanya Huff is kind of hit or miss - I have no idea about other people. I disliked her Blood books (for all that I admire her guts in refusing to romanticize Vampire novels, they were just too damn bleak for my tastes) but I adore Summon the Keeper and its sequels. Smoke and Mirrors was the first book I remember reading that actually terrified me. The Enchantment Emporium isn't Huff's finest work to date. It's funny and quirky and this world has absolutely awesome potential, but objectively it's not her best work. That being said, it hit so many of my buttons that it's kind of ridiculous. Massive family with intricate (sometimes incestuous but never creepy) ties to each other>? Check. Intense sibling relationships? Check. Huff's by now predictable and oh-so-welcome inclusion of LGBTQ characters? Check. Women wielding power and doing it really fucking well? Check. Humor that made me actually laugh out loud and a frank and unsimpering sense of sexuality? Check and check. A total and complete lack of slut-shaming, an acceptance of poly relationships, and gender subversive power dynamics? Check, check, and check. Yeah. There was no way I wasn't going to like this one. :D I don't care one way or another about Graham, but I loved every other character. \o/ That being said, I HATED the audio-book version of this. The narrator was unbelievably terrible. Every female character under the age of 50, without fail, sounded like a Valley Girl? You know, asking questions instead of making statements? Add that to her terrible Irish accent and her incredibly racist and stereotyped accent for the one Asian character and I couldn't make it past the fourth chapter. :(
