Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley continue to turn in some incredible stories here. We're only on issue #13, but I can't believe that they've been keeping up with everything so far. And it's not a rushed job . . or at least it doesn't appear to be. The story seems very well thought out and planned, and Mark's been turning in some incredible pages . . especially considering how much work he's been doing week after week. I have nothing but respect and awe for you guys. Anyways, this issue our group makes some headway against the Crime Syndicate. Superman makes the conscious decision to tap into the influence of Wonder Woman and Batman rather than fight it. By doing that, he single-handedly takes down the Crime Syndicate's version of our trinity. The problem is, they might've made things worse. After the rest of the planet find out the the Crime Syndicate is no long in charge . . there's planet-wide riots and looting. This is definitely not the outcome they were expecting. We also find out that it's not what Enigma wanted to happen either. He decides to head back to the world and take care of matters personally. Although we don't find out this issue what it is he has planned. Meanwhile in the back-up story, Oracle, and her rather large group of operatives, have decided to stake out all of Wonder Woman's known enemies. As far as they can figure, that's the only piece of the puzzle missing for, whomever is doing this, to create the mystic alignment for each of the trinity. And indeed, they find out that they're going after Maxwell Lord's deceased body. However, Hawkman made have made things worse. He's a bit overzealous because he's tired of being one step behind on this whole thing. He strikes the guy with all the tattoos . . apparently holding a sun-god within his body . . and may have enabled the sun-god to escape. We're going to have to find out more about that next issue. This was another fantastic effort by Fabian Nicieza and Tom Derenick.
