Suspected of murder, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] find themselves on the run from the super-hospital called Sanctuary —with each thinking the other one is the real killer! It’s up to Batman to solve this heinous crime, but suspicion falls on him when Superman and Wonder Woman ponder just how much Sanctuary’s A.I. is telling them. Meanwhile, [REDACTED] tries to make a shady deal to hide from the Trinity, while [REDACTED] searches out an old friend to help him out of this mess—and only gets deeper in trouble.

I like this issue because we know all heroes have issues. But I like how the comic makes them more than the sum of their parts.

This issue focuses on Harley and Booster Gold, questions are raised but no definite answer are found. So much is going on and both Harley and Booster are both unstable within their minds that we are spiraling down the fan or hold with them. Harley and the trinity fight scene was a little bit out there, but Flashes reaction to Booster was priceless.

Never in my time would I ever say Harley Quinn is a big threat when it comes to the Trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman). However I eat these words.

Best to read for yourself and see what happens. It's very Tom King.

Normally after something tragic happens there is a time for mourning. I get they have to figure out who did this and why, but we don't see them struggle with it.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018
**** SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT ****
We’re less than one quarter of the way through this nine-issue limited series so perhaps things will be falling into place later but at this point I’m just not getting what the point of all this is. In issue one we find out that Sanctuary is apparently run or perhaps assisted in its operations by humanoid robots. We also see that heroes and sometimes villains perform interviews or confessions at Sanctuary. In this issue Batman states that, “Sanctuary is ANONYMOUS. This allows HEROES to talk about their pain and shame. ALL information gathered by Sanctuary is IMMEDIATELY deleted. Who comes, what they say, when they leave. EVERYTHING is erased. NOTHING is reported” We also find out the Wonder Woman AND Clark Kent have spent time at Sanctuary and Batman is “often” a patient at Sanctuary. Batman does his confession with his costume on but cowl off and Clark Kent freely admits to being Superman in his interview.

In issue one, Superman says, “We built this [Sanctuary] to help them. I mean, to help US.” I’m not sure if Superman is saying that a group of HEROES built Sanctuary or if he literally means it was built by him, Batman and Wonder Woman. It’s implied in this issue that Batman was involved and may have a backdoor to preserve the information that was intended to be purged. Does this mean that DC’s big three built Sanctuary to treat heroes, including themselves, by recording confessions viewed by what Superman calls a “therapy computer” who then delete the confessions? We never see any back and forth conversation, so it seems like they might as well be talking to a wall. It all seems fairly insane and pointless. I’ve never been to rehab but if the rehab consisted of me creating confessions to be viewed by no one and then deleted I imagine I would just take a pass because I don’t need some Sanctuary to do THAT.

My other big issue with the series thus far is the usage of Harley Quinn. I don’t dislike the concept of Harley but I despise the characters usage, in general. As far as I know she was a psychologist, treating the Joker when she fell in love with Clown Prince of Crime and had a mental breakdown. She has no super powers (unless you consider insanity a super power, which DC apparently does) and no formal training as a fighter and yet the character is treated as hyper effective in just about everything she does. Was Dr. Harleen Quinzel ALSO preternaturally talented or did that only occur after she went cuckoo? In this series Tom King takes it to a whole new level. Harley is able to get the drop on Wonder Woman and Batman and even manages to best Superman. So she single handedly defeats the three biggest heroes in the DCU in what has to be one of the top 5 dumbest moments I’ve ever seen since I started reading DC comics in the 70’s. Her brilliant escape involves just kind of backflipping through a broken wall while the heroes inexplicably make no attempt to capture her. Afterword Superman says to Batman, “She’s good. As good as you” No, no, no, no. Harley Quinn is nothing more than a psychopath who occasionally swings a mallet. This is awful.

Just two comics in and I have no idea how this series can redeem itself. Perhaps I am completely misreading what is going on but I absolutely cannot stand the series so far. I know that this story is personal to Tom King, as someone who has dealt with his own emotional issues, but so far this limited series is going very badly. I had the privilege to meet Tom King at a comic convention signing and he seemed like a really cool guy for the brief moment I got to speak to him but this is just not working for me. I really do hope there is a surprise around the corner that will prove me wrong but I have a bad feeling that I’m witnessing a slow moving train wreck.
