Short Review: Trinity #12

The Outlaws are possessed, the Trinity wants to help them and needs the magic trio. The evil three are now a duo.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The best part about the entire issue are the signs of Bruce worrying over Jason. It's otherwise a pretty standard "use the extra characters as possessed villains to fight or everyone is basically useless." Zatanna is taken without doing much of anything despite being a freaking powerful magic user. Deadman getting taken makes sense as possessing people is what he does. Constantine is too much of a jerk to the point he's ready to leave Zatanna and Boston as well as Jason to the demons.  Boston seemed entirely too surprised that the trinity asked for their help for something out of their field of expertise. If it was a JLI member I might buy that reaction. Maybe.

Does Ra's have magic knives as he cuts all three of the Outlaws at once? Never mind their power levels or armor. The Outlaws get kidnapped far too easily because their fooled by Ra's and go in blind in the icy wasteland? That makes no sense. None of the Outlaws get any real characterization but it's clear no research went into the RHATO characters as Bizarro doesn't use the backwards talk in that title. As a result it's overly distracting, annoying and comes across as pretty lazy.

It's hard too get too mad though as I have trouble believing this is canon since this Circe is different from the one Rucka wrote. I don't think Jason allowed himself to be possessed or hates Bruce since the lasso slips off when the demon says it. I'm not expecting much but I'll stick with this for now.
