Excellent, one of my favourite DC Comics series until it finished but it's good to see that it won't be the last of the Phantom Stranger as we'll be getting a new Trinity of Sin series that I can't wait for. JM DeMatteis is one of DC's most underrated writers and this is a series that I can strongly recommend.
This is cool and heavy and I like magical stuff in comics, but the god thing gets kind of strange. Like having god seem like he's frustrated by the decisions that the Stranger makes is kinda silly since he would know exactly what the Stranger was going to do and say, even with "free will". Trying to write omnipotent characters is just no fun.
Also the Stranger isn't exactly anyone I would invite to a party. He's a total downer. He needs to hang out with Spider-man or something ... oh wait that would have to be a crossover event, maybe Lobo.

I like the Phantom Stranger, and the whole Trinity of Sin, for that matter. But I disliked this volume, because it was such a big crossover event between multiple series, and you have to read THEM ALL to get it. You have to at least read Constantine and Justice League Dark, both of which I read, but there's even crossovers with Superman and more.
I am sick of big crossover events.
For the parts that were actually about the Phantom Stranger - three point five stars. For the rest of the volume (as in, 90% of it) - one point five stars.
Meh.

You can feel that there was a lot of struggling for DeMatteis to set the right course again for this marvellous character. Alas, it was not enough. A lot of good ideas rushed into a very unsatisfying end, that was almost a rip off from Alan Moore's run of the Swamp Thing. A very sad way of concluding a mess.
