Event comics often fail because they're more concerned with setting up a new status quo and changing the playing field than simply allowing readers to savor the high stakes and epic nature of the conflict at hand. Trinity War may well emerge as the new poster child for everything wrong with that approach. In the end, Trinity War becomes little more than a stepping stone towards Forever Evil. The result is that Justice League #23 is an almost wholly unfulfilling "finale" issue.
Way back when Trinity War was first teased last year, it was positioned as a supernatural-flavored story where DC's heroes were divided among three camps, each rallying behind a different member of the Trinity of Sin. And while there's nothing wrong with pulling the rug out from under readers, the idea is to have something better, more clever, and more significant in store. The Trinity of Sin was something new to add to DC's vast web of mythology. But by this point, those three characters are practically non-entities in the story. Phantom Stranger has been out of the picture ever since the events of Phantom Stranger #11. The Question and Pandora barely have a a panel's worth of dialogue between the two of them. At this point it's not clear why these characters were even introduced given how little impact or presence they've had in this crossover.
