Okay, this thing was marketed terribly, but the House Of Mystery Halloween Annual that came out last week is apparently an anthology, featuring Hellblazer (by Milligan and Camuncoli), Madame Xanadu, and I, Zombie shorts. If I hadn't been poking around in the old posts on Vertigo's blog, I never would have known. You're welcome!

There's a few reviews of it in the Comics section here.
You're right. It was marketed horribly. It should've been titled the Vertigo Halloween Annual.
I didn't pick it up on my trip to the comic store, because I don't read House of Mystery.
I figured out later it had a Hellblazer story in it, and got a store to save me a copy.
We probably should've been more up on this, since StH is considered the most prominent Hellblazer web-site.
We should be keeping readers abreast of all John Constantine related appearances.
Blame Vertigo's horrid solicitations, and general HB malaise around here.
But, mostly blame Vertigo.

Whenever I see quotes saying that "Hellblazer forums are saying ..." I always think it's about us, and then remember how a small minority of people hating on Keanu became the "Official Straight to Hell line".
I like to think that Vertigo is sneaking John Constantine into all their books.

Vertigo needs a Wolverine.
