Trinity, Daughter of Wonder Woman #3 – Tom King, Writer; Belen Ortega, Artist; Alejandro Sanchez, Colorist
Ray – 9.5/10
Ray: This series continues to be a huge surprise – it’s definitely the first comedy book Tom King has written regularly, although it’s like a much larger-scale version of the backups he did with Jon, Damian, and Lizzie. With three protagonists – all time-displaced versions of Lizzie – we’ve essentially has three different lead characters in the first three issues. This issue focuses on the oldest Trinity, who is just out of her teens, I believe, as she travels into the past to rescue Bat-Corgi from the clutches of Cerebus – on Paradise Island, during the earliest days of Wonder Woman’s career. This Lizzie is a trained hero, so she should be much more competent and put together than her younger “siblings”, right? Not so much – she immediately manages to break time and get her mother killed years before she’s ever born. So she has to go back in time to try again – and just manages to make things worse.
This, of course, frustrates the other two Lizzies to no end, in a hilarious framing segment that has the toddler and preteen lose their minds with every turn the story takes and every failed attempt to set it right. But it’s not like this is the only thing going on here – because there’s also someone else on Paradise Island in the past at this point. Lizzie’s interactions with an older Steve Trevor, who she grew to adulthood without knowing, are actually very powerful, similar to tween Lizzie’s doomed crush on a young Jason Todd last issue. King knows how to use time travel to rip open painful unresolved issues. This issue has some hilarious comedy and visuals, as well as some amazing emotional moments, but it all leads into the cliffhanger – which has Steve Trevor trying to fight his way back from the afterlife. There’s a lot going on here, but King usually nails anything he tries to branch out into.
