Trinity #25 - DC

Again, a very hectic issue. Things are starting to reach a fevered pitch in this series. Alfred is trying to bring a group together to help get the world back on track. The problem is, first getting them all together, and secondly convincing them that his ideas and notions aren't that of a raving lunatic ex-spy. Basically he's bringing in 2 people from each person's background. For Batman, he has himself and Dick Grayson. For Superman, it's Lois Lane and Kal-el's cousin Kara. And for Wonder Woman it's Agent Tresser and Donna Troy. In the back-up story he gets everyone together except for Donna. She's the final piece. Meanwhile in the main story, Le Fey and Enigma have agreed to stop fighting for a while and find their third member. You would assume that they're going to go after the real Despero, since they were fooled last time. However, I'm thinking that we may be leaning more towards Konvict. I'm not really sure why he was introduced in the beginning of this series, unless he destined to play a bigger role later on. But that's just my guess. Also this issue the Society and the League decide to work together. Now that Carter Hall is of a more reasonable temper, they've decided to get together and try to figure out what's going on with the world. During this assemblage, we also see the return of Barry Allen. However, he can't walk. So I'm not sure what role he's going to play. And finally, Tarot, has come to Opal City, like she was called here. She's met there by another mystic, Charity, who also seemed to be summoned. "Well, when all the tarot cards from my morning reading suddenly levitated and swiveled around so that they were pointing at the bus station . . . that was kind of a clue." But the help that Tarot needs isn't anything that Charity expected. It appears that Tarot has now become the nexus of all realities . . . they seem to be shifting around here constantly. She needs help before she goes crazy. This was another great issue, and halfway through the series, we really seem to be moving along. Props and accolades again to Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley and Fabian Nicieza for all of their hard work. Also, Mike Norton does the pencils for the back-up story. Hang on . . the rides getting faster . . and bumpier.
