About this Collection
This volume collects the final arc of The Phantom Stranger's New 52 series, tying into the 'Trinity of Sin' crossover. As the Stranger confronts his role in the cosmic balance, the story builds toward the 'Forever Evil: Blight' event, with art by Fernando Blanco and others. The collection includes issues #0 and #8-11 of the series, wrapping up the character's quest for redemption.
In "A Period of Adjustment," the Phantom Stranger and Madame Xanadu race to contain a rift in reality over San Francisco, where they uncover that Cassandra Craft is under the influence of a mysterious, malevolent presence. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and Len Wein, with art by Fernando Blanco and Norm Breyfogle, the issue blends supernatural tension with the eerie beauty of Guillem March’s cover.
