Trinity: Generation S
By Tom King, Belen Ortega and Daniel Samperea
I dropped right out of Tom King’s Wonder Woman comics very early on, because it had that King thing of strong characterisation and a pleasing desire to fuck around with the craft of superhero comic books, while also being completely bloody stupid on a fundamental level.
But these comics about the next generation of superheroics are genuinely entertaining, and fun in a way rarely seen in current DC, and they are all the more charming for giving a potential glimpse at DC’s future that isn’t a straight-up hellhole.
Most futures go along the Kingdom Come or Rock of Ages route, where everything has fully gone to shit and it's all a bit depressing, but this is a future that - while still flawed - shows that life goes on and doesn't all spiral down into nastiness. It's weirdly subversive to treat the near future like this in a modern superhero comic, but maybe the kids will actually be all right.
