Hellblazer #124

This fourth and final chapter of "Up the Down Staircase" brings John Constantine's latest arc to a close, with Sean Phillips's striking painted cover showing the trench-coated, cigarette-in-hand occult con man striding forward against a swirling chaos of vivid, fragmented shapes — sharp bursts of pink, blue, yellow, orange, and green that feel both otherworldly and unsettling. Paul Jenkins and Warren Pleece deliver the conclusion readers have been building toward across the arc, and that cover energy — Constantine caught between a white void and a storm of color — promises the issue earns its finale status.
