Plot Summary
The lead feature explores the unusual bond —
and importance — of DC's top three characters, Superman, Batman and
Wonder Woman, as a mysterious dream links them together and may
prophesy important changes in their trinity!
Konvict and Graak are tearing up the place. John Stewart is out. The JLA arrive and soon get their behinds kicked. The arrival of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman could be the answer. Superman stands up to Konvikt. Can he take the punch?
In the back up, a girl going by the name Tarot tries making some extra money reading the cards. After doing a reading for a member of a street gang, he wants her to help them since her reading allowed them to rob a bank without getting caught. She doesn't want anything to do with them. When she tries running away, they chase after her. In an alley way, some dark shapes bloodily take care of the gang members saying, "She is not for you." She is meant for the "three that who are to rise." She has no idea what that means and is not willing to read her own fortune.

KPLOW; Earth To Rita
Well, according to Carlos Pacheco, Wonder Woman certainly was blessed by the gods, let me tell ya! That's a pretty nice cover. I'm hangin' that on my bedroom ceiling.
Bagley and Thibert really have the JL of A down. Haven't really seen much of their Green Lantern, but Black Lightning and The Flash look pretty sharp as do Hawkgirl and Vixen. Black Canary looks like Gwen Stacy from Ultimate Spider-Man, but then that's 'cause she's blond. Wonder Woman looks a little like MJ. They do a pretty good job with Firestorm and Red Arrow; but Roy is pretty much background and Firestorm is pretty much a supporting character.
I'm still wondering what distinguishes Konvict from Doomsday, Solomon Grundy, Bizarro or any other character that could go up against The Man of Steel. One punch and he's laid out flat? What's up with that? Is Clark Guy Gardner now? Even Green Lantern got in a few good moves before he was handed his @$$. Superman just shows up and gets clobbered by a Hulk/Thing wanabe.
I really dislike it when everybody pronounces the name the same way. How is the League supposed to know the guy's name is Konvict? They could be saying Convict and it would be alright. Unless that name is trademarked or copyrighted. Copywritten?
Let's say I'm Hal Jordan. Or Dinah Lance. My powers aren't that different from Clark's or Diana's. I put a green bubble around their head until they pass out. Or, I use the sonic cry until they pass out. Or, if Konvict can take one of both of them down - then so can I. They're better than me? Okay, I know Bruce is paranoid. I know he has a plan to take me out in case I go rogue. I respect that. I keep an eye on him. I know that we may be evenly matched. Clark and Diana have been portrayed as trusting, and a bit two-dimensional. Since Crisis on Infinite Earths, and especially since JLA: Year One, Hal and Dinah have been protrayed with much more depth of personality than Clark and Diana have. Only Dwayne MacDuffie has added layers to them in New Frontier.
So far, I'm enjoying Trinity. Except for Black Canary talking while using her sonic cry. That just looked weird. Kurt Busiek has a lot of heavy lifting to do, but it looks like Bagley, Thibert, Pacheco and the gang have his back.
I'm just wondering hwo far I can got before I need to switch over to the trade paperback...$2.99 is killin' me for 15 pages.

KPLOW; Earth To Rita
I try to forget Wonder Woman's back story because to me it doesnt work.Xenena and Hercules work fine in thier mytho world but in a superhero book featuring aliens and infected heroes the mytho should remain seperate.Anyway, Tarot is what i cant stand im sure thats where my frustration is coming from.
Also this weeklt issue stuff needs to stop.Its turning into a soap opera.
