Trinity #39 - DC

Our Trinity of power . . the 'good guys' . . finally make their presence known in the real world. Finally! But not until the final page. The whole battle . . the control of the Earth that Le Fey is looking for . . the whole battle comes down to Metropolis. Which really doesn't surprise me because Superman is obviously the brightest beacon of them all. Last issue the JSI went into this battle, with all of their comrades and friends, knowing that they really didn't have any chance of winning this. I mean, Le Fey controls all the rest of the Earth. All of it except for Metropolis. But . . Tarot has told them that a miracle is about to happen. The problem is . . it needs time to happen. So, knowing that they have no chance to win they fight anyways. They fight because they're trying to buy time for a miracle. Which is what they get on the final page of the book. Our trio of heroes show up in the sky . . in a crack of lightning, and their presence overwhelming them all they ask "So. What have we here?" Next issue the battle's really going to get big. Also, during this story, we see that Konvict, one of the 'evil' Trinity, is having a crisis of faith. Or conscious, I'm not sure which. He joined this whole battle to restore his honor. The honor he lost when he struck down a non-combatant. However, as he's watching the results of this conflict, and the casualties that are being heaped upon him, he begins to realize that this is not restoring his honor. Le Fey has told him that when he gathers the power due to him, he'll be able to remake the world however he sees fit. But, he's beginning to realize that she may have fooled him. As he stops fighting, and watches what's going on around him . . . he doesn't feel very honorable. And when Le Fey blasts Graak, the chattering little monkey, off his shoulders . . I think his mind is really made up. Now the question lies . . what's he going to do about it? This series is really hitting a fever pitch and I can't wait to see how we get out of all of this mess. I still think Enigma is going to play a role in it. But, we'll see. Great job by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Fabian Nicieza and Tom Derenick. Don't worry, you're vacation time will be coming up soon.
