TRINITY # 22 (2018 DC Comics)

Written by James Robinson

SUMMARY:

Published by DC Comics for January 2018, “The Search for Steve Trevor” ends.  In a flashback, Skartarian sorcerer Deimos makes an illicit deal with shadowy Blue Strike Security, which includes a promise to kill A.R.G.U.S. operative Steve Trevor. 

In present-day Skartaris, Wonder Woman battles a magically-mutated Trevor enslaved to Deimos, as Batman & Superman are effectively neutralized.  The Warlord and sorceress daughter Jennifer Morgan bring help.  Despite his own reinforcements, Deimos underestimates the Trinity’s ingenuity.

Note: There’s a variant cover by art Bill Sienkiewicz.

REVIEW:

Bolstered by excellent artwork, this formulaic adventure gives both Wonder Woman and Batman their expected moments, as Superman merely tags along.  Still, this crossover with Warlord & daughter Jennifer Morgan is a nice treat for fans who remember these characters from their 1980’s DC series.  Of particular note is Batman’s scene with Jennifer Morgan and the wrap-up of Trevor confronting Blue Strike Security, as both are well-played.  Overall, Trinity # 22 isn’t remarkable, but the story makes an entertaining single read
