I got all excited when the Phantom Stranger was mentioned in one of those Book of the Black excerpts in the back of one of the Blackest Night issues and assumed that the payoff would be here.

You are right, there really was not much in the way of revelations. I think that would have been more rewarding. But plenty of build up. I guess Johns wants to save all the reveals for the last couple issues of Blackest Night.

It wasn’t bad, but I guess I thought there would be more revelations to the true nature of Nekron, the Spectre, or whatever.

I liked the one-panel allusion to the Phantom Stranger’s three separate origin stories. That was very cool.
