The smaller stories were most fun in this one, including a Swamp Thing cameo. Would have liked to see Georgie and the threads started in volume one crop up in these too.
John's big final plan, while cool, came out of nowhere and the ethical consequences were oddly hand-waved. Would have been good to tie that into the Oliver storyline so John is properly at fault, not just getting scapegoated and moping. I love the commitment to not letting him off the hook but, with one excellent reneged deal as the exception, it didn't feel as deserved as last time.
