Hellblazer: Red Right Hand by Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco. I keep coming back to Constantine because he's such an endearing chain-smoking bastard. In this particular trade collection, the effects of a well-meaning scientist's empathy machine have turned Glasgow into a suicidal wasteland, set upon by demons that feed on the despair and self-loathing that result from everyone knowing the bad things their friends and neighbors have done.
