We're in the world . . post Trinity now . . but every issue it seems like there's more and more people that seem to have some sort of memory . . or dream . . or our heroes. This kind of has a feeling of a 'rapture' type thing. You know when all the 'good' people will disappear . . the problem being that we won't ever remember them having been here in the first place. This issue Rita, Tarot, has traveled with Gang-buster west to the French Alps. There she finds an archaeologist, Alfred Pennyworth, that unwittingly seems to be trying to prove the existence of the Trinity with the artifacts that he's been finding. Tarot seems to have some residual memory of . . if not the exact heroes, at least the essence and role they played in the world. Plus, how can they be hidden from the cards? When she does a reading on Alfred . . "Call me Freddie." . . she gets a lot of flashes of his time as Batman's servant. She recalls a cavern and . . " . . years of service . ." Though 'Freddie' feints his response . . when she leaves he whispers the name . ."Bruce". Also Firestorm is back, from the dimension where the egg was kept. He knows that there's something wrong with the world, but he can't get anyone to believe him. In the back-up story, there's a woman, Desiree who's been having visions and feelings of Wonder Woman. She can't put a name to the face yet, but it's haunting her enough that she keeps drawing pictures of her. It seems like the biggest thing all of these people remember is a world that still had hope. However, I am wondering what Le Fey, Enigma and Despero are up to now that there plans have reached fruition. What's the next step? And how are they holding this spell in check? Because it seems like it's paper thin to me. As always Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley and Fabian Nicieza are doing a fantastic job with this series. The art in the back-up story is by Mike Norton. This group is covered by some fantastic Carlos Pacheco covers. The farther we get into this series the more I like it.
