Hellblazer 82

Story by GarthEnnis
Art by Steve Dillon

In this, Garth Ennis's second last issue on the title, he reintroduces Kit, a character he created so that she could leave John. And so she comes back, finds John, and says goodbye again. It's subject to the usual criticisms: Ennis's dialogue is great, but his plotting is monotonously depressing, his characterisation of John is non-existent, and the inevitable quick escape clause in the next issue is going to have to be something special to work consistently with the rest of the arc, which I doubt. Steve Dillon's art is as pretty as usual with, again, the usual criticism: with a haircut and dye-job, most of the character could be John in disguise.
