Nuestros tres protagonistas compiten en la Fight Fist Funeral Cup y demuestran de nuevo sus dotes como luchadores. Aunque no todo sale como estaba previsto.

El joven Adrian Velba es feliz. Después de haberse preparado durante todo el año en la escuela de combate del Maestro Jansen, por fin va a poder participar por primera vez en su vida en el gran torneo anual patrocinado por el rey Virgil y la reina Efira. Ni siquiera su compañero, el canijo Vlad, es capaz de apagar su entusiasmo.

En este número el mayor torneo anual de combate continúa. Contra todo pronóstico, el extraño dúo formado por Adrian Velba de 12 años y el corpulento Richard Aldana, sorprende a todo el mundo.

El mundo de Adrian está patas arriba. Ha tenido que abandonar su tranquila vida con su madre Marianne, a quien pensaba conocer perfectamente. Ha descubierto a una mujer transformada, feroz, y capaz de manejar una temible máquina cuya existencia desconocía por completo: ¡una moto! A partir de ahora dependen de ella para atravesar el rift, un nuevo mundo que deben explorar mientras continúan con la persecución de la copa de los reyes y su ladrón, el misterioso Richard Aldana. El viaje se anuncia movidito….

Marianne Velba no es solamente una mamá atenta, también es una mujer llena de determinación que sabe lo que quiere. Tras los pasos de Richard, ella y Adrian llegan a Paxtown, una megaciudad ultramoderna, un lugar lleno de posibilidades para aquellos que conocen las reglas… Lejos del universo seguro y tranquilo del Valle de los Reyes, Adrian sigue descubriendo el mundo y Marianne no acaba de dilucidar el misterio Aldana mientras se enfrenta a algunas realidades muy concretas.

John Constantine has been lots of things in the course of his long and lurid life—a life spent uneasily balanced on the fault line between the everyday and the supernatural. Sorcerer. Chain-smoker. Con man. Aging punk. Incorrigible bastard. But a knight of the bloody Round Table? That’s a new one. It’s not as far-fetched as it might seem, however, considering that all of England is quickly descending into an inferno of mystical chaos. Albion is burning, and someone is breaking the bonds that have held the ancient isle together since the dawn of time. Dragon, wizard, demon—whatever you call it, the power of Merlin has risen again, and he’s determined to take an immortal lifetime’s worth of vengeance against God himself. There’s only one man who can stop him: the legendary king whose soul is pledged to defend his realm throughout the ages. No points for guessing who the unlucky sod is that has to dig him up. Legendary talents Paul Jenkins, Sean Phillips, Charles Adlard and Warren Pleece drag comics’ most notorious rogue kicking and screaming into the mists of Avalon in HELLBLAZER VOL. 11: LAST MAN STANDING, collecting the never-before-reprinted issues #108-120 of the signature VERTIGO series and featuring the character’s special 10th anniversary celebration, bursting with special guests and capping off Sean Phillips’s historic run on the title.
