Get ready for an electrifying reunion! Writer Simon “Si” Spurrier and artist Aaron Campbell are teaming up once again for an explosive new series: John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America. This thrilling eight-part DC Black Label series is set to hit shelves in January 2024.
DC made the exciting announcement at New York Comic Con 2023, revealing that Dead in America serves as a direct sequel to Spurrier and Campbell’s acclaimed 12-part John Constantine: Hellblazer series. But that’s not all! This time, the stakes are even higher as the series will feature a special appearance by none other than Dream of the Endless himself. Brace yourself for a not-so-warm reunion between U.K. native John Constantine and the enigmatic Swamp Thing as they navigate the treacherous American landscape.

What is John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America about?
Prepare for a heart-stopping adventure in John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America. John and his companions, Nat and his son Noah, find themselves on the run in America, wanted for murder. But there’s a twist – John’s heart isn’t beating, his body is decaying. In a surprising turn of events, Dream himself seeks John’s help. A sinister force has taken hold in America, using the sand from Dream’s pouch to exert its dark influence. If John can put an end to this malevolence, he may just earn a chance to save their lives. But he’ll need assistance from someone he hasn’t spoken to in years, someone he hasn’t always treated kindly. Someone… or something?
And let’s not forget, John is no stranger to Dream’s pouch of sand. In a previous collaboration with the Lord of Dreams, John claimed he couldn’t open the pouch. But according to Spurrier, he was just being a “big bloody liar.”
Mark your calendars! John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #1 will be available for purchase on January 16, 2024, from DC.
