Trinity #15-52!

 Trinity October 2008 - July 2009

Trinity is frustrating!

Not the story which is a fascinating story. Basically, the Trinity (Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman) are banished to another dimension by some of DC's heavy hitters. With them gone history is rewritten so they never existed, instead the Justice Society stepped up and took the strain. But being an ALt Universe it's a little darker and l less hopeful.

Thankfully Alfred, the best of all characters, collects together those characters who are connected to the lost heroes, an Eradicator style Super Girl (why it's not Power Girl I'm not sure), gangster Dick Grayson, Fox New style Lois Lane and librarian Donna Troy. They go on a journey to this dimension to find that the Trinty became god-like being that helps guide three alien species. It goes well until it doesn't and they withdraw to do god-like things for however long things have gone on this world!


Through the journey the characters remember who they and the Trinity are so they convince them to go back to Earth, dealing with a massive threat with relative ease. But being power disembodied spirits they have no desire to go back to who they were before. But the conflict is big enough that it damages the Earth itself so to save the world they have to give up their powers to Gaia herself!

There's a lot else in this comic, including Tomorrow Woman and a neat little character who's technically still in existence! A weekly comic, which I thought they'd given up on after the mess that was Countdown, it's a really good story and worth a look. I'm sure many overlook it as the covers, as good as they are, are super generic and don't give a clue about the content of the story inside. For what it's worth I recommend checking the story out.

So what's the problem?

Power Girl is in almost every issue, but only in a single panel or two here of there, she only speaks like once in the entire thing. Rather than 23 individual background appearances I've rolled into a single post (this one obviously).

Oh, and the black and white costume of JSI Power Girl is really good!

It's the Final Countdown! (Again) - Wonder Woman #293

Image
Countdown to Chaos Wonder Woman #293 Cover Date:  July 1982 Released:   8th April 1982 The first thing here to comment on is this is a Wonder Woman comic so it's her show, though all the other female heroes get something to do, more or less. We however start with our last female heroes to join the quest, Starfire, Wonder Girl and Raven from the Teen Titans. Raven has a major case of the premonitions so they fly off to Paradise Island to get some help from the Amazons. And like any good hero burning a message into a panel so the boys know where they have gone! The one thing that really strikes me looked back is just how tiny Starfires costumes is, more or less a sparkly bikini, especially the back which for some reason we see a lot in this issue. I've nothing against skimpy costumes now and again, but with almost everyone being more dressed and the cheesecake on how it's drawn it really stands out here. Anyway Korri and Donna go to help stop the final horseman on another Ea

No butts - Infinite Crisis #2

The Survivors Infinite Crisis #2 Cover Date:  January 2006 Released:  9th November 2005 ⋅ Writers:   Geoff Johns  ⋅  Pencilers:  Phil Jimenez   ⋅  ⋅  Inkers:  Many Hands  ⋅     Colourists:  Jeromy Cox / Guy Major  ⋅  ⋅  Letterers:  Nick J. Napolitano  ⋅  Editors:  Jeanine Schaefer /     Eddie Berganza  ⋅ So I'd like to say that this was planned, what with (as of writing) we're halfway through the most recent Crisis, Dark Crisis (of Infinite Earths), but basically the JSA comics heavily rely on this crossover, so we're bringing this one forward! To sum up issue 1 the DC universe is falling into chaos, the Trinity (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) are fighting over recent actions, including Wonder Woman killing Maxwell Lord live on television.  Watching from their crystal world the Earth-2 Superman and Superboy-Prime (last seen from Crisis on Infinite Earths) are dismayed at how the heroes are handling their universe, so punching the crystal wall Superman frees himself t

Power Girls Costumes - 2023 edition

Image
The Past Because Pee Gee has had so few costumes it is very simple to tell when an event is meant to have happened. This is exactly what we got this year in The Golden Years and boy what a costume they choose! Boob-windowless costume As has been told many times the story of Wally Wood and the every-growing boobs is a myth (though he did obviously create her busty to start with) but he did make the boob window grow slightly each time, something that the editors realized by All-Stars #64 (the cover obviously had to be quickly covered up).  The costume only lasted five issues and was in this weird place where Pee Gee was still pretty grumpy and angry, as can be seen in the comic, not long after she get's her scalloped topped costume she spends her mini-series chilling out ready for her meeting of Huntress, but hey we've covered all this before! The only weird part of this costume used in the issue is that the villain they faced, Vulcan (who I will never not be amused by the fact t
