Madame Xanadu (Volume 2) #8 is an issue of the series Madame Xanadu (Volume 2) with a cover date of April, 2009.
Synopsis for "Chapter the Fourth: Thru The Crystal, Part 2"
While an angry mob forms to "deal" with Jack the Ripper, Madame Xanadu tries to deal with the problem in her own way – by traveling to a strange realm. In that realm, she finds a lady singing a familiar song walking with a strange man. However, her progress is blocked by the Phantom Stranger.
The Phantom Stranger informs Madame Xanadu that the lady most recently slain was pregnant – with the child of Jason Blood and that if she had acted better in Camelot, she should have prevented the Demon Etrigan from binding with Blood!
He then heads off to scare The Ripper, who is muttering about the "lovely mess" of a "filthy whore", into the rat-infested sewer.
Madame Xanadu has decided she has had enough of The Phantom Stranger and makes a voodoo-type doll to capture and abjure him.
