It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Trinity wrap-up, but let me make up for four weeks of issues I missed: the good and bad arcanas try to claim territory for themselves while Alfred’s Six slowly learn what happened to the Trinity after they were banished. Very slowly. Mind-numbingly slowly. I really raved about…
Since Doomanchu is proudly serving pancakes (and his country) right now in Iraq, I’m taking this opportunity to honor him by revisiting his lone post on Doomkopf. And by “honor” him, I do in fact mean “blatantly steal the idea from his post and relate it to something that came out this week.” The issue…
In the lead: Dr. Polaris, Professor Zoom and Lady Shiva are sent by Morgaine Le Fey to London to close a dimensional rift and steal its energy. Power Girl, Ragman and Triumph (not the Insult Comic Dog) arrive to try and stop them while Green Arrow, Tomorrow Woman and the Flash close a rift in…
According to Marvel.com, this week should see the release of Incognito #1, the debut issue of the new series from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the creators of Criminal. If the quality of Criminal is any indication, it should be very good. Of course, I say “should see the release” because nobody else seems to…
Hey, remember when Doom DeLuise stopped caring about Countdown? The series created a whole new level of suck at one point and Del just couldn’t bring himself to review the thing on a weekly basis. Well, I’ve offcially gotten to that point. This issue of Trinity is from last Wednesday’s comics, which I guess is…
In the lead: Alfred’s Six spy on those sorta alien guys from last issue, and Donna Troy interjects when violence ensues. Surprise! She has her Wonder Girl powers! Then Alfred talks to the alien dudes and they decide to make a pilgrimage to the Trinity-inspired holy site. Meanwhile, Tarot freaks out a little bit and…
In the lead: Alfred’s group of six heads to Happy Harbor, Rhode Island to the cave that would have been the first JLA HQ if the Trinity existed. After some mystic hoodoo, the group is transported to a different world and starts acting more like their “true” selves. Society in this world is run by…
Having just read Batman #682 for a second time, I’m still not quite sure if I liked it or not. But I guess considering my usual reaction to Grant Morrison’s work, that’s an above-average result. I like the trip through memory lane that Morrison wrote out here. You don’t see Batman’s Golden Age roots mentioned…
In the lead: The League and the JSI fight off the various bad guys that have appeared on Earth as a result of reality shifting. Morgaine Le Fey and Enigma finally meet with Konvikt and convince him to become the third part of their Trinity. Tarot figures out that if the bad guys needed her…
Another week, another issue of Batman. Even though I haven’t read much of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman (and I’ve hated what I have read), I felt strangely compelled to choose Batman #682 as this week’s Book of Doom. Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise have been telling me this book is actually good, even though…
