As with the Crisis series, where we have a series of spin-offs or cross-overs to continue the story created in the main title, this book also has 2 stories. Two very intricately intertwined stories that complete and compliment each other. You could read each separately and understand the premise of the story. However, together they create a much broader picture, and help to fill in the pieces of the puzzle faster. I'm genuinely impressed with the output of all the talent involved. Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Fabian Nicieza and Tom Derenick have all seriously outdone themselves with this series to date. That's not even mentioning the covers . . . the current trio being done by Andy Kubert. Our Trinity is over on the Crime Syndicate's world now. They've been abducting people from various worlds to help with the rebuilding of there own. It had gone unnoticed until they started taking people from our Earth. But the real focus of the story is that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have all started to experience the traits, qualities and feelings of each other. It's almost like they're lost within their own heads because there's confusion about feeling each other's beliefs and character. Batman and Wonder Woman have already started to figure out what's going on . . not necessarily why . . but Superman, he seems to be lost. I'm sure the next couple of issues will be spent on reigning him back in. And in the back-ups, Oracle's group is starting to figure out that the criminals have moved on from Tarot related items to items of intimate importance to our Trinity. Now they just have to figure out why and what they plan on doing with them. I think this series has definitely gained momentum as it has gone along. I'm really diggin' it.
