4.5 starsThis was a rather long superhero comic (at over 300 pages) but it was seriously worth it. So many heroes! I need to read whatever comes after this one.

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths. Trinity War was another of DC’s “Big” events in The New 52 universe. Geoff Johns, Jeff Lemire, and Ray Hawkes bringing together all the clues and hints that had been incorporated into DC books for quite and while, promising to give readers lots of DCU character cameos, tons of information on shadowy people in the DC universe, and setting up the DCU for great stories going forward. So, with all this build up, it had to be great, right?Well, there were tons of c...

Ugh.You know when you go to Denny's, and you feel guilty when you walk in, but you go sit down anyhow? Even though the last few times you've eaten there, it wasn't all that good? Then you say, I'm just going to get a Coke...but you look at the menu, and end up ordering something that looks good on the menu picture?However, when it shows up, you're thinking uh-oh...this is a bad idea; but your brain tells you "You've already come this far, you idiot; might as well eat".Then you eat it, and there'...

I've read worse. But not by much.I've kind of fallen out of reading New 52 recently, and this is telling me that maybe I had the right idea. I know, it's terribly wrongheaded to judge books by how they shake out during an editorially decreed crossover event. But I'm going to do it anyway. The worst thing I can accuse this book of is being boring. And it can be horribly dull. The Pandora plot is totally uninteresting to me, but it's far from the only boring thing. I'm bored of heroes attacking ea...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.Since the beginning of the New 52 era of DC Comics, there was one huge event that was being teased with countless plot threads incorporated within every comic book series until it was finally time for it to explode in this epic crossover event that brings together the various Justice Leagues to cross paths, looking for answers through understanding or a show of power. Helmed by Geoff Johns, with the help of numerous writers and artists, a new th...

(B+) 78% | GoodNotes: Scenically circuitous, it’s a lot of foe-and-friending, often struggling in all its juggling, but bigly buoyed by its ending.

4.5 starsI actually like this event. Yeah, that's right, I'm not scared to admit it.Ok. A little scared. I have this vision of Sesana (in her winged Thor helmet) coming down to wreak righteous judgment on my bad taste.But I can explain! I wasn't all that thrilled when I was reading this event originally. Truth is, I thought this was the continuation of the cliffhanger that happened in Justice League, Vol. 4: The Grid.It's not. But since I never seem to bother researching what I'm about to read,

OK DC, I gave you another chance with your Big Event, and how do you reward me? With a premise founded on a ridiculous (I mean, retarded) conceit: an immortal woman, who has trained herself in every form of physical and spiritual combat known to men, somehow can't defeat her antagonists without the help of a bunch of whiny, irritatingly powers like the Justice League, who spend more time arguing with and punching each other than just fixing shit?Hah. Hah, I say. It is to laugh.And what kind of f...

Another average story from DC and Geoff johns. He's making a career out of making mediocre comics. You've lost me completely DC. You've no imagination anymore. This story felt like a rehash of every other justice league story ever told. This story is about the legend of Pandora's box. She makes some strange appearances in the justice league comics at the end, completely unannounced, all to give some kind of back story for this Trinity event. More bullets, more characters, more shit art, more fig...

Wow, what a ride! This was one of the better volumes of Justice League in the New 52 era. This one featured all three leagues and also included Pandora (yes THAT Pandora) as this storyline dealt with Pandora's Box and the Seven Deadly Sins. It was loaded with characters and there was a lot going on. It was a supernatural themed story and had several magical characters involved. I didn't see the ending coming but for any long term DC fans you will probably be blown away by it. The problem being,

3,5Misleading title. It tried to be super epic but in the end it fell flat. Ah! and also there was a problem with editing. They put Pandora's issue that had information on Evil-Shazam (images and everything) before Evil-Shazam actually appeared. The end was good though.

A mess. Yeah that's all I could think about when reading this. This very long, over-bloated, sometimes incoherent book. So Pandora released all the evil in the world, and not this skull contains the evil of it? Or something. Honestly I was having trouble following because it seemed stupid. Especially the parts with the heroes fighting each other...for no reason...like no reason at all. Don't even get me started on the filler arcs. There's a whole thing with going into the afterlife, but it's rea...

Oh my god.That ending.THAT ENDING.(view spoiler)[ OMG THE BUTLER DID IT!!!!! (hide spoiler)]I seriously gasped after that was revealed. And what's going to happen to (view spoiler)[Cyborg (hide spoiler)]??? And The Atom, (view spoiler)[or should I say ... Atomica? (I didn't like her anyway.) (hide spoiler)] Plus where did (view spoiler)[Earth 3 (hide spoiler)] come from??? I didn't even realize that was an option!Seriously.What is going on.Wut.

Occurs in parallel with, or may contain, the events of JL(v.2) #22, JL Dark #22, and JLA(v.?) #6. This would be somewhere in vol. 4 of the collected editions of JL & JLD.

This one was quite good!It starts off with the prelude to this event as to what happened with Pandora, Question and Phantom Stranger and then the big battle and then the thing with JL, JLA and how their battle starts in Kahndaq, Superman vs Dr Light and the thing that happens after, him being imprisoned and then accused of doing something and then Batman and his team finding some stuff regarding Argus and trip to afterlife, Wonder Woman teaming with JLD and finding their secrets but when all of

Justice League: Trinity War is one of DC's crossover books where they collect issues of separate titles into a single book. I'd seen them do this with Death of the Family, and Rise of the Third Army, but since I had read nearly all of that stuff in the actual series, I didn't bother picking up the collected editions. I'm reading none of the titles in this book, so I thought I would pick it up and see how I liked it. Trinity War deals with characters called The Trinity of Sin. The characters are

OK, I'm a little slow right now, but I think I figured out how this is working. This is called a cross-over event where they take threads of stories from many lines of the other players like Justice League Dark and Pandora and other and they thread the story together into one whole story. It seems like most of the DC universe was here.I have not read all of DC New 52 so most of this was new information, but some things I have read. One of them was Pandora. I read Vol. 1 and I really enjoyed that...

Picked up Trinity War on a recommendation after posting an interest in Forever Evil. I can see why this is probably required reading for anybody interested in trying on John’s next big book. This does come off a little like an extended prologue to Geoff's Forever Evil. Have a few friends (Anne's review , Mike's review) with dramatically different opinions about this one and I sort of fall in the middle I guess.I wasn’t sold on Pandora. She is a central figure in this one and I just never bought

I haven't been a fan of DC's New 52 label. I felt it was profit, not content based, and the titles to this point had not stacked up against the best in the DC Universe. I also haven't been a fan of Marvel Now that said, so it's not a DC v. Marvel issue (for the record I love both as a sci-fi geek). It's simply that DC's characters have enough heart and mythos behind them to not need a reboot to sell comics - unless that reboot is going to solve continuity issues, and oddly the new 52 has put a l...

Not great but not bad. Great ending. Setup very well for Forever Evil.
