Trinity #50 - DC


All I can say about this issue is . . . Wow! The magnitude of what's happened here is incredible. Last issue Krona, literally, tore the Earth apart. This issue opens up with pieces, people and objects from Earth floating around the milky-way like so much space junk. It looks like the concert hall, and parking lot, after a Motley Crue concert. I'm laughing because I just got done watching them on my favorite show . . Bones. Anyways, the only thing left standing . . sort of, is Krona and the worldsoul. This is what Krona has wanted all along. He's wanted to talk to the worldsoul and get the answers that he craves. The problem is . . he's not happy with the answers that she gives him. She explains to him that beings like herself . . they don't look at the constraints of reality the same way humans, or sentient beings do. They don't really have 'wants' and 'desires'. They don't 'thirst for knowledge'. And they definitely don't scheme or have hidden motives and agendas. Really . . all this does is piss Krona off. "I've lived for billions of years! I am far older than you. Little soul! I will not be taken in by this . . this . . I . . what was that? All of that? What did it mean? It made no sense. All that. All that. It's . . . it doesn't . . just doesn't . . NO! It's not enough! You can't just . . float and exist . . and dance! This is not the way things work . . I don't accept it! There is more! There has to be more! SHOW ME THE TRUTH!" But, in the middle of his tirade, the Trinity show up. They weren't wiped out as the world was. They decide, with the help of the worldsoul, to encase Krona, and remake the world. But they need all of their energies, including Krona's, to do it. On the final page the world is back, and we see some of our heroes on the North Pole. This is where the fight took place last issue. They don't know that the world's ended and has been recreated. But . . Lois knows something . . somethings wrong. "Oh god. It's not over. It's not over!!" We're almost finished here, and Busiek, Bagley, Nicieza and McDaniel are pulling out all the stops on the final few issues. Not to mention the fantastic Shane Davis cover. I can't wait to see what happens next week.
