Trinity #49

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

"The final showdown. The world hasn't just been changed, it's been destroyed. Can the Trinity still save the day?"

So...the Trini Gods have done battle with Krona and Le Fey and Despero and almost defeated Krona with a spell to suck out all the creation energy fuelling him so as to fix the damaged Worldsoul. Things however get out of hand and Krona rips the Worldsoul out shattering the planet and among other things also negating gravity and such. There's NOTHING holding the planet together at this point.

And thus we open with Hal trying to steal John's shtichk.



He fails to put back the planet together of course. I'd say it felt out of place for John not to be the one to do it but he's still stuck in the Void Hound.

And making her return after a few weeks absense Tomorrow Woman's back!







Tommie? Tommie? Tommie?!

I can only hope/assume she's ok since Hal despite his attempts stuck in space without a ring will survive as well.

Also Riddler's popup appearance is always worth a good laugh. You can tell something wrong if he can't think up a Riddle.

Krona broke earth bad korna bad, wonder how they are going to fix this? Lol at riddler shorts with the question marks, trying to make one last riddle before dying.

Eddie has like, an 6-pack. That's either horrifying or awesome.

Horrisome? Awesomefying?

[superfan1.insanejournal.com]

I go with Awesomefying.

While I like Busiek, this issue higlights the pacing flaws in Trinity. We know that the Earth is going to be fixed in the next three issues. Even how can't be that interesting since it has to involve Krona and the Trinity. I'd be much more interested in this story line if it was issue 39 instead of issue 49.

Busiek himself would seem to agree with you, judging by his comment on the DC message boards that he wishes he could have had more issues to do the series in. Someone asked him what his ideal length for the seris would be. His answer: "Longer. There's lots that it would have been fun to explore more."

Whereas I'd say this would have been much better in, oh, 12 issues. Tops.

someone get the dragonballs!

Does this make sense if you've been following it from the beginning?

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Yes, but read it in 4-6 issue chunks at a minimum.

Remember back when Kyle's ring held back a rampaging sun all on his own?

What's that engraved on the inside of your ring band Hal? What's that word? Fail?

If ever he needed a Blue Lantern powerup, it would be now.

Blue lantern powerup?

Now I have this mental image of Blue Lanterns being the little mushrooms from Super Mario. Little green lantern runs along, jumps, hits one...DING! 1UP!

I'd say it felt out of place for John not to be the one to do it

Being doomed to failure, I don't think John was the right one to do this. Kyle being 'guy whose girlfriends die at an alarming rate' is bad enough, making John 'guy who keeps letting planets get blowed up' would have people wishing for the days of Hal as 'guy who keeps getting knocked out by trees'.

...but she's all right really, isn't she? *tugs sleeve hopefully* Tommie just needs a nap, right? Right?

[comicoz.insanejournal.com]

*pat pat* There there, she's gone to a better place. Like another book.

[pyrotwilight.insanejournal.com]

;_; I think so. Just a nap.

One thing I hope they don't do is make Tommie the new Worldsoul or something like that, to fix Earth. It'd be a cool idea but it'd virtually write her out of DC as far as I could tell.
