I really liked the last issue of Carrey's run. I thought if the series was going to end there it was a good ending. The idea that JOhn is invited to speak about magic to a bunch of "wankers" is great. He then pulls one last con and tricks the group to remind them that for all the "magic" they control, they really(and himself to a degree) and not better then the rest of society. Then he walks off to an uncertain future hopefully without magic.
This would have been a great ending to the series. First, no Mina story. Second, every writer has talked about magic as an "addiction" to John. To see him walk away from it would show him finally taking responsibility for his life and breaking a harmful addiction.
