Trinity #40

Forty issues into DC's ambitious weekly epic, Trinity #40 arrives with a striking cover by Shane Davis and John Dell that says everything with pure visual force: a blue-energy-charged Superman surges upward through a cityscape of crumbling buildings and rubble, his clenched fist and glowing S-shield radiating an almost electric intensity. The overlapping logos of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman crown the image, a reminder of the trio at the heart of this sprawling 2009 saga from Busiek, Bagley, and company. With a story titled "Returned," this issue promises that whatever has been lost in this altered world may not stay lost for long.
