Trinity #28 - DC


Well, things seem to be starting to converge in the world right now. The energies of the Trinity seem to be the 'draw-string', let's say, that seems to be gradually pulling everything together. It doesn't all make sense right now, to those not in the know, but . . things are gradually trying to straighten themselves out. Alfred has gathered up a few close to the trinity . . himself, Dick, Donna, Nemesis, Lois and Kara . . and they're trying to figure out what they can do to try to help the process along. They end up in Happy Harbor in the old JLA cave. After some mystical tampering they find themselves in outside of some kind of village. They think it's the past, but I'm thinking it's actually the present . . but altered by all of this swirling energy. There's an incident going on down there, and they go to a priestess for judgement. The man is a thief, so it's swift. But then, 2 other priestess' appear and seem to balance the first's judgement. The preistess' wear robes that are similar to our Trinity. But the real surprise comes when they turn around and find that the mountain is now a huge monument in the form of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. As usual, Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley do a fantastic job with this story. In the back-up, we see what the Dreambound have been up to, in the name of the Evil Trinity. It's starts out with a prison break, but then we see that they're just trying to build an army that will cause a distraction and spread the Society thin. They're hoping that they can do their job without really being noticed much. It appears that their job is to go around to all of these 'disturbances' or shifts, around the world, and siphon off the creation energy from them. Obviously, Le Fey wants it to make their group that much stronger. A few things of interest were . . . Luthor is helping the Society. Mainly because they want a 'think-tank' to figure out what's going on and Luther is one of the 5 biggest minds around . . . including Magnus, Morrow, Sivana and Irons. Also, on this world Triumph is a member of the Society. So I'm wondering if we're going to see him again, back on our world, when all of this is straightened out. And finally, when Tomorrow Woman confronts the Dreambound in Metropolis at the sight of their latest energy siphon, TVM uses that energy on her . . and turns her into some type of humanoid robot. Another interesting chapter, and a little bit more that's sorted out for us. Excellent work again by Busiek, with the help of Fabian Nicieza and Tom Derenick. The pieces are all gradually coming together. We're on the down side of the slope now, so it's only a matter of time before everything start to sort itself out. I wonder if we're going to find out what the Trinity has been doing this whole time? Only a little more than 20 issues to go.
