Seeley provides a good end to the latest run, with a plotline harking back to some of the original run back in the late '80s, as well as following up on the new character he introduced in V3. There's also an appearance by one of DC's unpowered costumed heroes, who fits right in with the story, as well as allowing Constantine to remark snarkily on the superheroic world. It's a classic story of demonic possession and double-crossing that's not quite Hellblazer at its best, but certainly makes good use of its tropes to tell a worthwhile story and bring out Constantine's character. At which point, of course, DC cancelled the run... although, as I write this, a new one is slated for November ‘19.
