Magic costs. It’s the one lesson John Constantine has learned from his life of cigarettes, superheroes and sorcery. Every spell he casts, every demon he dupes, every fundamental force of the universe he warps—each and every action comes with strings attached and sacrifices demanded. But Constantine has always managed to avoid paying the ultimate price. Until now. When his war against a cabal of powerful sorcerers sends him screaming across the boundary between universes, he arrives in a world much like our own. A world dying at the hands of the mad god called Darkseid. This is the home of another John Constantine, one whose life was peaceful and happy right up to the end. To escape the apocalypse and save the few survivors he can, our black-hearted conjurer must join forces with his good-natured doppelganger. Together, they can return to Constantine’s own world. There’s just one catch: for one to live, the other must die… In CONSTANTINE: THE APOCALYPSE ROAD—a thrilling crossover with EARTH 2: WORLD’S END—the creative team of Ray Fawkes (BATMAN ETERNAL, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK) and Jeremy Haun (BATWOMAN) give the DC Universe’s most dangerous mage the fight of his lives! This final volume collects issues #18-23.

Some believe him only a legend, an old tale told by slaves in days gone by. But the man called Papa Midnite is more than a myth; he is a magus, steeped in the mysticism of ancient Africa. For close to three centuries, he has been cursed to walk the earth, amid blood and destruction waiting to repay a debt to people he once coldly betrayed. Tonight, his wait is over. Led on a New York walkabout by a ghost from his distant path, Papa Midnite's vision quest leads him from Harlem to a forgotten slave burial ground in lower Manhatten, and back through time itself, to the days of colonial New York when as a young mystic he incited rebellion and provoked gods, only to pay the ultimate price.

This volume closely examines patterns of rhetoric in surviving correspondence by the Roman emperor Constantine on conflicts among Christians that occurred during his reign, primarily the ‘Donatist schism’ and ‘Arian controversy’. Commonly remembered as the ‘first Christian emperor’ of the Roman Empire, Constantine’s rule sealed a momentous alliance between church and state for more than a millennium. His well-known involvement with Christianity led him to engage with two major disputes that divided his Christian subjects: the ‘Donatist schism’ centred from the emperor's perspective on determining the rightful bishop of Carthage, and the so-called ‘Arian controversy’, a theological conflict about the proper understanding of the Son's divine nature in relation to that of the Father. This book examines a number of letters associated with Constantine that directly address both of these disagreements, exploring his point of view and motivations to better understand how and why this emperor applied his power to internal church divisions. Based on close analysis of prominent themes and their functions in the rhetoric of his correspondence, Pottenger argues that three ‘doctrines of power’ served to inform and direct Constantine’s use of power as he engaged with these problems of schism and heresy. Power and Rhetoric in the Ecclesiastical Correspondence of Constantine the Great is of interest to students and scholars of early Christianity and the history of the later Roman Empire.
