scans_dailyWell, this issue was all kinds of a messy origin story for Trigon. 3 1/2 pages.
So, there's like this giant cosmic heart that eats eeeevil, and it has acolytes who all look just like Lord Voldemort. The acolytes go around scourging planets of eeeevil and feeding it to the heart, which always has room for morejello eeeevil. But now three acolytes are upset - eeeevil has reappeared on a world they've already scourged. This has never happened before! They identify the source as a three-man hunting pack and zero in on the leader. But feeding his soul to the heart doesn't really work out so well for them....
Yep, that's our Six-Eyes. As a tribute to the acolytes that birthed him, he wears their skins as his...loincloth, I guess.
Anyhoo, like the heart, Trigon's a creature of unquenchable appetite. MOAR EEEEVIL! FEED ME SEYMOUR! But. The barriers between dimensions won't let him through so he can get down to the serious business of conquest. But he figures out a fun workaround: He can bring a single female through the barrier, knock her up, send her back with bun in oven, and she'll give birth to a mini-Trigon he can possess and use to conquer.
Good plan! Except for the parts where it seldom works. Either the moms don't survive the conception, the Trigon Juniors don't survive the birth, or the moms commit suicide. But he gets right down to it with Brides from countless worlds, and it's all very disturbingly Marcus and Ms. Marvel. He ends up with three sons, "and when Trigon saw them, he knew they were weak...disappointing...and useless."
Also, not every world has a willing bride:
That's Cassie's armor, which was found on an archaeological dig IIRC. When is this happening? Who knows? Who cares?
For a minute there I thought it might be Arella inside the armor, and being Bride of Trigon'd was the price of defeat. Which could've been interesting. But no.
Thus producing Raven, which I'm not sure I get the stress on Trigon producing a daughter, unless he wants his'er'self to keep giving birth to infinite his'er'selves? Icky thought. Anyhoo:
Umm....Okay...I guess? How do we go about this? Do we clap our hands and yell, "I do believe in demons"?
Or maybe Arella's talking to Deathstroke, who's up next week in #23.2. Admit it, "Who would win in a fight, Deathstroke or Trigon" would totally be a fanboy wet dream matchup.
Incidentally, those defeated and/or tied up Titans on the cover? Don't appear anywhere in the issue. I call bait & switch!
