Review: Trinity Of Sin: Pandora #1


DC Comics/$2.99

DC Comics’ Summer crossover event, Trinity War, kicks off this month with Trinity Of Sin: Pandora #1! This story has been brewing in the back pages of Justice League for some time, and the outcome of this crossover will have an impact on the entire DCU as it unfolds across all the various JL titles throughout the Summer of 2013. Writer Ray Fawkes and a host of artists bring this first installment to life and shed some light on the mysterious Pandora.

The first issue of this series tells the backstory of Pandora, the Mother of Sins. An accident of fate causes a young woman to unleash the twelve deadly sins upon the world, cursed to eternally be their “mother” and watch helplessly as they ravage the Earth. Although she is cursed with immortality, Pandora hatches a plan to free herself of her burden and to rid the world of sin. Trained in a variety of physical, mental, and magical disciplines, she travels the world foiling the twelve deadly sins, but she finds herself in need of aid from the purest hearts and begins to seek out the heroes of the DC Universe.

Written ably enough by Fawkes and drawn by Zander Cannon, Daniel Sempere, Patrick Zircher, and Vicente Cifuentes, Trinity Of Sin: Pandora #1 is not to be missed by anyone wanting to read every installment of Trinity War and serves as a great introduction to a mysterious and darkly cool new heroine. I can’t wait for Justice League #22, the first “chapter” in this massive Summer event!
