HELLBLAZER (2016)
"What would you sacrifice to save someone from damnation? The final chapter of 'The Good Old Days' puts what may be the final nail in John Constantine's coffin: preparing to say goodbye to this mortal coil, John's oddly introspective, brooding over an ex-lover who's possessed by demons. Since she can't be exorcised, she's bound for Hell-unless John makes the ultimate sacrifice and takes her place. Pack light, John-we hear it's warm where you're going."
"'The Good Old Days' part five! John's trying to listen to the angel on his shoulder, but Helena Bertinelli's a bit bloodthirsty. And when she's the better option, you have to ask yourself: What's wrong with your life?"
