Kurt Busiek has Wonder Woman asking some tough questions this issue. She, more than the other two, is really thinking about what this 'Trinity' means. Of course the dreams are bothering her, but she's also trying to figure out how the three of them are connected. That also happens to be the same thing that's on Tarot's mind. Jose, Gangbuster, has her holed away so that the gangs can't get to her and she's sitting around reading her cards . . over . . and over . . and over . . well, you get the picture. And she keeps coming up with the same thing . . 'Trinities' . . over . . and over . . and over. I think she's learning as she goes along. She's starting to figure out how to tap in to the power of the cards and let them give her knowledge and visions. She see's the 'Trinity' . . Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman . . and is starting to understand more about each of them respectively. And I think she may have found the connection she was looking for. But, as soon as she does, some Werewolf looking things come crashing in and abduct her . . leaving Jose behind . . to pick up the pieces. This leads directly into the back-up story by Kurt and Fabian. Hawkman is looking in to some museum robberies, across the country, but the thing they have in common is that they're trying to get mystical Egyptian artifacts, and . . . they're all being committed by common Gotham city criminals. Somehow the gang the Jose's chasing, and the Werewolf looking creatures are also connected to this. So it looks like Hawkman and Gangbuster may be forming a temporary alliance. Of course Mark Bagley did a fantastic job with the art on the lead story, and Scott McDaniel beautifully illustrates the back-up. I assume this is going to be a 52 issue series like the last two, and we're only on issue #6, but . . I think the book is progressing rather nicely. I think it has a faster pace than the last one actually. And the best is yet to come.
