Notes

• As in previous issues of The Hellblazer (Volume 1), this story reveals that John's time in Ravenascar was brought back into the continuity by the Rebirth.
  • The events of Justice League Dark (Volume 2) #13 clarify when these events occurred chronologically in the new timeline.
• This issue is reprinted in The Hellblazer: The Poison Truth.

Trivia

• As Chas drives the taxi along the A20, a sign for Bexley, Foots Cray, and Orpington can be seen. The top half of the sign mentions Central London and Lewisham. All are real neighborhoods in London. The actual sign on the A20 for Bexley, Foots Cray, and Oppington contains exit directions for Bromley, Chislehurst, and Sidcup, not Central London.
