Justice League: Trinity War (The New 52) Paperback – 2 Dec. 2014

This graphic novel consisting of 12 issues put together in one volume is amongst the best dc tales I have read since the launch of 'The New 52'. You don't have to be a hardcore comic book fan to enjoy this although it helps to understand the intricacies.So what's it about?Basically a long long time ago Pandora is one of three (the trinity of sin?) who was sentenced to a circle of wizards to walk the Earth in eternal torment observing the horrors that she was purportedly responsible for. Her crime - opening Pandora's box and unleashing the seven sins upon the world. As the centuries have passed by Pandora has come to believe that the seven sins can be returned to the box - their prison, but only by one of the purest or darkest of hearts. Pandora sets her sights on Superman.Needless to say things go wrong and this is the catalyst for a storm pitting the Justice League against the Justice League Of America, justice League Dark and so forth.There is no happy ending here folks and essentially what this boils down to is a prelude to the Forever Evil saga. But that is a different story.You will not be disappointed by this book although in my opinion a couple of the issues could have been done away with. Many characters play key roles such as John Constantine, Phantom Stranger etc.Great purchase!

The story for Trinity War poses a battle of three sides, the main one being with the Justice League (starring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman), versus the ARGUS sponsored Justice League of America (featuring Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Green Arrow) and Justice League Dark (consisting of John Constantine, Deadman and Zatanna), but it also features a battle of other trinities too.Batman is at war with Wonder Woman and Superman over the nature of their new relationship, suggesting that the two most powerful people in the world being together would concern governments and agencies around the world. The other trinity is the Trinity of Sin, Pandora, Phantom Stranger and The Question, who are battling with each other over the nature of the relic known as Pandora's Box, which Pandora is trying to re-open in order to return the evil of the world to the box.These events all come together and the true nature of the Box is revealed and leads to the events of Forever Evil. This story is a good lead up to Forever Evil (a far superior story) but it can often be too confusing because of the multitude of characters involved. Had the story contained a trinity of characters from each group instead of all of them, it would probably have been more enjoyable. The twist at the end of the book regarding the nature of Pandora's Box is excellent and is something that is hard to predict.The art is fantastic throughout but the writing styles of the different books don't mesh well together, even though they are good in their own right.Definitely buy this book to lead into Forever Evil.

After reading volume 4 I almost didn't bother with trinity war.Because the conclusion had already been revealed at the end in JL volume 4. I'm glad I did purchase this book in the end. Trinity war explains the whole story in a lot more detail. Not only that but, it reveals more on the backstory on characters like Pandora and, the phantom stranger.A big chunk of the story is about wonder woman & batsman trying to find a way to help superman. In the end it turns out superman has been poisoned by a slither of kryptonite that's been lodged in his brain by atom. Who is really a member of the CSA (the crime syndicate of America) from earth 3.Sometimes the storyline in trinity war would go of in odd directions and, ten go back to main story again.Geoff johns does a great job with the writing yet again as always and, the artwork by ivan reis is pretty good aswell.

It's been years since i was into comics but recently decided to start again.thought work my way through new52...WOW man this story line got me,really loved it

Which is a shame because when this book shines, it's VERY good, the artwork is fantastic and the situations arte interesting and fun. But it all comes down to a pile of chiches and underdeveloped story. Still worth a read

excellent arrived all the way from usa in top condition very pleased

Really enjoyable story that sees the three Justice Leagues bump heads. The main JL continues to be strong, and Amanda Waller's own JL are a solid bunch, but for me it is the Justice League Dark that really shine. Constantine is really well handled, and it is great to see him included into the main DC universe. So many characters, if you are not a massive DC fan it can get a little confusing, but overall the Volume holds up on its own without the need to have been following any of the individual runs.So why not 5 stars? Simply because the follow up to this, Forever Evil, blows it out the water.

Fantastic Stories and Amazing Artworks, perfect addition to any DC Comics and/or Justice League Fan Collection

Great artwork,good writing. Recommend this!

Amazing long story filled with growing breaking action and suspense. The confusion in war takes you to a whole new level of who's right and wrong. The book keeps you going on and on. Worth a buy.

I suggest reading this after reading JL vol 4. Trinity War gives a more insight look of what led to JL vol 4. It more concentrated on how Pandora came to be. I am very satisfied with this purchase. Several jaw dropping moments. Please note, if you want to follow the story, continue with Forever Evil!!

Justice League comenzó mal con los Nuevos 52, pero poco a poco fue mejorando y es aquí en donde Geoff Johns se redimió para mi.Recomendada para leer junto con Forever Evil y Forever Heroes.El producto llegó rápidamente, perfectamente empacado y en excelentes condiciones.

I've been a comic book fan and collector ever since I was 10 years old. Even in my 30's I still continue to random buy a few titles here & there when I want to catch up on comics. I will say though I am not a very big fan of comic book universe reboots and I think that both DC & Marvel does it to often in this day in age and I understand that they are just trying to keep their characters modern with pop culture and the times. Rebooting comics every 5-10 years from Marvel & DC is out of hand and it becomes hard to keep up with certain titles from both publishers. Not to mention buying comics are expensive as ever now compared to maybe 20-25 years ago. So now I just prefer to buy the stories in novel form instead of issue to issue.Now with that being said...Since this is the era of rebooting/relaunching characters & ideas in comics I'd have to say that between both companies I prefer reading titles from DC. I remember picking up Batman and Batman & Robin both vol. 1's and I really enjoyed stories & artwork so I continued to buy both series because of the stories. Then I figured I would buy something different then my usual comics (Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc.,) so I ordered Justice League vol. 1 some months back and I must say I wasn't very crazy about it. To me vol.1 just came off as the typical save the world from the bad guy story. It turned me away from JL.I got bored and wanted to pick up some reading again and I decided to take another chance on Justice League and I read some reviews on different JL story arcs some were mixed some were really bad. I decided to take a chance on Trinity War because it sounded interesting from the author review I read on here. I was not disappointed I liked the artwork, the story, & the concept. If DC can stay consistent on giving good JL stories I will continue to buy and Trinity War was a lengthy read and great price for the amount of pages written.
