scans_dailyThe book opens with the Phantom Stranger nailed to a tree in a very personal abyss, sacrificing himself in a bargain to release his mortal family from the horrific state they've been placed in by the Sin-Eater. Last issue, you'll recall that this character was once Philip Stark a serial killer who was about to murder his wife and children.
The Phantom Stranger makes a deal with the Sin Eater for the life of his family.

And I would suppose that heaven or not pain in life matters. You're not supposed to commit suicide. And you're supposed to help people who need help. So basically my point is deciding that a great reward awaits them is not a reason to accept death
