Pandora

“Trinity of Sin: Pandora” #2 from Ray Fawkes and Daniel Sampere opens with Pride and Envy overlooking the sunset in Giza, reveling in their freedom and plotting against their “mother,” Pandora. Of the Seven Sins released from the mystical box, this is the only glimpse, reminding readers that the sins are still lurking out there.

This introductory issue serves its purpose as an origin story, although Fawkes’ chronicle is essentially a protracted version of what readers have already learned in “Phantom Stranger” and elsewhere: that the character is indeed that Pandora, the woman of legend whose name has long been associated with opening the box that long ago unleashed all known evils on the world. The story essentially samples Pandora’s globe-spanning path in the ten millennia since that ev
