Trinity #30 - DC


This issue we find out the background of these people that our little group . . the one that Alfred brought together, have come upon in their search for the people that seem to be missing from their lives. I don't think they know that it's the Trinity yet, but . . they do seem to remember that there was once someone that they looked up to. Their story starts basically with the creation of the universe, but it's skewed, I think, in Krona's favor. It seem that Krona is the god that they end up worshiping. Until he escapes from the egg, at which time he abandons them. They feel lost and betrayed. In fact they had no more purpose so they felt it would just be best to end themselves. But then they come upon what looks to be the spirits of Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman . . . Hope, Justice and Wonder. Their subjugation by Krona was so bereft of hope, and love, and really any kind of common decency and respect that when they see the visage of these new 'gods', the likes of which they'd never seen before, they're relieved and uplifted. And given new hope. Now we'll just have to see next issue if they can find them. Meanwhile all the heroes have been gathered together to bring La Fey the army that she thinks she needs. Luckily though, the Atom has tagged along for the ride somewhere along the way, so he sends everything he sees back to Brainwave at the JSI headquarters. So now, Carter Hall realizes that everything that he found in the scroll that he had left for himself was the truth. He knows what's been done to the world . . why La Fey did it . . and what she plans to do still. Now he just has to figure out what his next step is going to be. That's when Charity shows up offering some assistance. We're getting closer and closer to the end of this series. I'm just wondering what's going to trip our Evil Trinity up along the way. I think it's going to be the influence that our Trinity has over the people that believe in them. Even with La Fey erasing them from existence . . there's still people that believe. And the more that are reminded, and remember . . I think the stronger their spirits, or essence will become. I think that La Fey has seriously underestimated the task that she's attempted to embark upon here . . . and the powers that she's trying to replace. Another fantastic job by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Fabian Nicieza and Mike Norton. Thanks for another great issue.
