Trinity #5 - DC


Well, our Trinity finally takes down Konvikt this issue. Of course they had a little help from his space-ship. It seems they were put into cryogenic sleep on their way here, so all Superman had to do was rig up a gun that dispensed the gas they used to put him to sleep. Doesn't sound that hard, does it? However, Graak eludes them. They also get their first him that there's other forces involved when they find one of Morgan La Fey's minions hiding out in the woods . . he's the one that burned Wonder Woman last issue. He doesn't give up his mistress but, he does mention the Trinity, that he works for his mistress, and I think that our group knows that there's magic involved. Now they just have to figure out how all of that fits together. Plus Tarot, our new magic wielder, Marguerita Covas, gets her first glimpse of what her true mission may be. As she's looking at the cards, she's reading the Devil, Strength and Justice . . but soon she sees the Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. Apparently she's tapped in to a lot more magic than she thought. She's also in the backup story. It turns out that her protector, Jose . . is actually Gangbuster. That's how he appears to know so much about the MVG's and the Culver 68's. He's not to much out of practice though. He takes on Blindside, Throttle and Whiteout all by himself when they come after Tarot. But as they're fleeing the scene, it appears that there's more things in the shadows waiting to get her. Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley are doing a fantastic job with this book so far. I'm just surprised that Mark can keep up this pace. Fabian Nicieza is also helping and I thought Mike Norton did a good job with the back-up, with Mark Farmer on inks. It's been non-stop action so far, and really . . we're just getting started.
