Nothing (including vacation) could keep me from declaring Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger #11 as my Pick of the Week! As with a few previous picks, there is something I need to discuss in greater detail, but I will save that article until tomorrow as to not spoil it for anyone. There are many points, though, that I can hint to without giving the story away.
Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger #11 is my Pick of the Week!
Who is in the Story?
As you can see on the cover of The Phantom Stranger #11, the main players in this story include the Phantom Stranger, Batman, Katana, and Deadman. Don’t worry, the focus of the issue is shared between all four characters.
The Basis of The Phantom Stranger #11
The foursome travels into Heaven in order to find clues as to what is happening to Superman. It is interesting to see the New 52 version of Heavern (well, versions).
What Makes The Phantom Stranger #11 My Pick of the Week?
This single issue makes one of the most interesting single issue shots I have read this year. It explores some new aspects of secondary characters such as Katana and Deadman. At the same time, it gives a glimpse into Batman’s psyche which is sure to be discussed and referenced for many years. The issue also shows why the Phantom Stranger is more important of a character than many give him credit for. If you are a Batman fan, you should pick up this issue for the interesting glimpse into the character’s soul.
Tomorrow
There is a question which is posed in The Phantom Stranger #11 which needs to be explored on multiple levels. Since I am writing this on New Comic Day, I will save my exploration until tomorrow. It is important enough to be added onto tomorrow’s plate. Just don’t tell my wife I am hiding away writing while on vacation.
