As fans were just getting used to seeing John Constantine onscreen, it looks like his comic version will be ending soon. Tim Seeley recently tweeted:
“Yeah, I was hired to bring it to an end,”
It looks like DC brought the right man in to close up shop, as the final two issues, leaves as many answers as questions. This can be seen below in the solicitations for the final two issues:

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.

Though this may be the end for now, here’s hoping that between the character’s many appearances on Legends Of Tomorrow and the show on CW Seed, it will only be a matter of time before he comes back to comics.
