I know the first year of this book was a snoozer, but it was, for me, it included the only interesting thing done with Red Tornado in decades. Now we’re back the status quo, android in love with humanoid, so happy together and blah, blah, blah.

This book right now sucks for me like the post-1985 Gerry Conway JLA run in which Earth’s Mightiest Heroes did a lot stuff on a grand scale, and yet nothing really happened – like, ever. As I type this, I DO wonder if I’m being unfair, but the Vixen thing is a yawner too. The only forward progress I see in Vixen’s life story advance from the JLDetroit days is she’s cut her hair, gotten a little neurotic and her tits have gotten bigger. This is supposed to be a cornerstone book for DC, and it doesn’t hold a candle to what’s going on in Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman’s solo books.

Tangentally, I’ve decided that “Trinity” is about as in-continuity as an Elseworlds tale. To wit: right now there are 2 “big events” going on: Final Crisis and Trinity. Which one is “bleeding” (pardon the pun) into the other titles? F.C. Which one seems to be pretty much ignored except for within the context of its own pages? Trinity. I’d have posted this thought stapled to a Trinity review, but, um, they ain’t here no mo’. :D But to speak to what you said, yeah, it does kinda seem to be recycling ideas to imagine the “world without Triumvirate”… There, I made my Trinity ramblings somewhat relevant. :)

Still, with Morrison’s current mind-**** on Batman, it would have been better for Batman to take one of his “breaks” from the League.
