Notes

• The events of this story takes place in early 2012, some time after the events of Hellblazer 2012 Annual #1.
  • Constantine recalls his conversation with Gemma from the epilogue of the previous issue.
• The appearance of Astra Logue in this story is a major continuity error, as she actually ascended to Heaven after being freed from Buer's control in the epilogue of the Critical Mass storyline.
  • Drummond's appearance also is quite unusual because he was actually an enemy of John Constantine, not one of his friends.
• Blathoxi's name is mispelled as "Blathloxi".
• This issue is reprinted in Hellblazer: The Devil's Trenchcoat.

Trivia

• Constantine originally met Blathoxi during the events of Hellblazer #3.
• Constantine recalls the High Frequency Trading program from Hellblazer #276.
