This issue heralds a special event: John Constantine becomes a godfather! Special delivery takes on a new meaning when Rich and Michelle's baby is born!

Ashes and Honey' part 1! Kemal is a magician of a sort that John Constantine has never before encountered. For magicians of the West, magic is all about power, about ego, about winning.
