Suicide Squad: Blaze #2

[cyberghostface]

"We throw in a lot of surprises. What starts as a find-the-monster type story turns very quickly into a holy-shit-we-know-where-the-monster-is-but-we-can't-go-near-him kind of story. There's this intriguing little mystery running throughout where the main character seems to be narrating events from the end of the story and yet keeps making these funny, little references to seeing things happening outside of the main narrative. We're going to gradually get to that.

There, Constantine had also been summoned - by someone he knew personally.
