We really took a big leap in the story this issue. My only question is, how did the story on Crime Syndicate's world wrap up? Last issue Enigma went there and expelled all of the off-worlders. This issue he back at Castle Branek with La Fey and Despero. So what happened back there? I wonder if there will be a separate story, or if it's something that we'll just never really know. So anyways, this issue, our Trinity makes a big leap and figures out that whoever's been causing all of this trouble has a lot of links tying them to the Carpathians and Castle Branek in particular. So they decide to go on the offensive rather than just reacting to everything that's been happening to them. And with a little stealth they pretty much get the rundown on what the groups entire plans are. Of course they were smart and were there for about an hour before they announced their arrival. It gave them a chance to scope out the place and gather a little intel. Plus, with the 3 being linked even closer than ever now, they're starting to figure out how to use each other's strengths to their advantage. I think the Evil Trinity tried to muddle with their minds to dissuaded retaliation, but, in effect, I think it's actually making them stronger. I thought it was a fantastic story by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley. The backup by Nicieza and McDaniel is really just an extension of the main story. At the end of the first story we see that the group is backed up by the JLA, JSA, Teen Titans, Outsiders and a few others. So in the backup we see a little more of the individual scenes with all of these various heroes. One thing that does come out of it though is that it looks like Gangbuster is going to be teaming up with Hawkman. That should be interesting. I really think the farther along we get in this series . . the better it gets. And we've just barely begun. We aren't even half-way yet. "Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times! The ride may get bumpy!"
