Something terrifying and strange has occurred - outstanding even among horrors faced every day by John Constantine. Intelligence specialists have discovered elements of the Iraqi insurgency may be demonically possessed. No one in the intelligence agencies is qualified to handle this problem, and that means a private contractor must be employed. Databases identify only one potential candidate: John Constantine. Constantine is taken from the comfort of his London home to the brutal climates of Iraq due to military coercion, but also because of his interest in a mysterious, beautiful Iraqi agent whose true allegiances are kept in shadow.

The secret spell to control the universe is contained in this anthology! Also included are nine new supernatural tales by a coven of the best writers and artists VERTIGO could cram into 70 pages, including Cliff Chiang, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Lauren Beukes, Mark Buckingham, and more!

In "Clean House" (written by Brian Azzarello and painted by Tim Bradstreet), a mob informant's new life takes a deadly twist. In "The Bear" (written and illustrated by Dave Gibbons), white snow runs red as old scores are settled in New Russia. In "Your Special Day" (written by Doselle Young with art by Frank Quitely), a lonely hitman stages a suicidal hit at the wedding of a mob boss's daughter. And in "Chains" (written and painted by Peter Kuper), a line of white powder links lives--and fates--from the Golden Triangle to the Big Apple.

Freed slave Django and dentist-turned-bounty-hunter Dr. Schultz blaze their way across the old South, in search of outlaws and Django's missing bride. Oscar-winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino's epic film script is adapted for comics, and illustrated by R.M. Guera!

Aspiring photojournalist Matty Roth has scored the internship of a lifetime: accompanying an award-winning correspondent into the heart of a city devastated by civil war! But when the crew and their military escort are slaughtered, Matty is forced to choose between his government and the “rebels” he’s been taught to hate. The catch? The country in question is the USA, the so-called “demilitarized zone” is the once-majestic island of Manhattan, and the rebel insurgents are former Americans doing their best to stay alive in impossible conditions. Matty soon realizes that as the ultimate embedded journalist he has the opportunity to report a story in a way that has never been done before. Although partly inspired by the terrorist events of 9/11, as well as the ongoing wars in the Mid East, DMZ’s focus is the people affected by an urban war, rather than the motivating politics.

And there, he must face the terrible tragedy in his past that he's been running from all these years. Featuring the gritty, stylized artwork of Jason Latour, Noche Roja is a gripping noir tale of how the insatiable craving for cheap consumer goods leads to the ultimate cheapening of life itself.

Martin Keane is a literary writer whose second novel just received scathing reviews. He has a police officer father he can barely stand - a man who couldn't be more different from. But he decides to combine the two together for his next book, a historical cop thriller which he hopes will give him the chance to work through his family issues and cope with his past. Then, suddenly, Martin's wife disappears without a trace. And even as people start suspecting Martin himself might be responsible, he knows there's much more to it than that. He's sure there are clues to her abduction that he's overlooking, ones which can perhaps even be found in the novel he's obsessively writing. As he and his father investigate his wife's disappearance, he'll find the truth is much more shocking than he thought - in a twist ending no one would ever dare guess.

Until they start dying. Violent deaths. One by one. Is there a curse on their house, as a recently unearthed history of witchcraft in the area would suggest? Or has one member of the Usher clan declared open season on the rest? As secrets and resentments boil to the surface, it becomes clear that more than one Usher has a motive for killing off the others. But in the end, the truth turns out to be far more shocking than anyone in this ill-fated family could have imagined.

The case takes twists and turns through the Golden Gate’s greasy underbelly: the beguiling arms of Chinese shipping heiress (and smuggler); an unexpected reunion with the daughter he abandoned long ago; the loss of Loretta to the sadistic clutches of the high-powered “Colonel;” and finally the horrifying, gender-bending truth.

A young teenage girl tries to navigate the troubled waters of love. Oh, and she happens to have her own personal god that's been watching over her since she was a baby.
