New 52: Trinity War Paperback – December 2, 2014

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.

I am not going to lie.. There were parts of Trinity War that were absolutely great, but there were some parts that felt a bit slow and unnecessary. It is a good read, but there will be times that you'll want to rush through it just to get to some of the more exciting parts. Watching all the heroes not get along was one of the highlights of the read, but you'll often find yourself less excited about what is going on. The final chapter is what the story is all about. It is that epic conclusion that will leave you smiling and happy you read it. It is that build up that leaves you with goose bumps and excited to read what is next.. That is why I say this isn't the story you'll love. Trinity War is like Empire Strikes Back. It isn't a bad movie, but you only watch it so you can get to Return of the Jedi. In this case Return of the Jedi is Forever Evil. The entire Forever Evil line is just amazing and a fun read.

I’m a huge Geoff johns fan so I bought the book for that reason, from start to finish it was a great book awesome art and every writer had a great story!!! The ending was fantastic

Una buena historia, preparandonos para lo que viene: Forever Evil. Necesario para no perder el hilo. Producto en calidad adecuada y llego en el tiempo prometido.

Trinity War is tough. This rather large sized event book is arguably DC's New-52 era take on Marvel's Civil War with the three Justice League teams all going head to head against one another. In reality, however, Trinity War is frankly just an event that sets up a bigger, much better event: Forever Evil. The plot of Trinity War has been set up since Flashpoint when Pandora first showed up and, at the time, seemed to merge the DC imprints into one new timeline (now that has seemingly been retconned to be the work of Dr. Manhattan). Throughout the first volumes of Justice League we have seen the formation of the Secret Society (led by a mysterious figured called the Outsider), as well as confrontations between Pandora and the Phantom Stranger. These plots come to a head when the Secret Society somehow frames Superman for the murder of Dr. Light and sets off a fight between the Justice League and the JLA. The two groups, as well as the Justice League Dark, try different means of proving Superman's innocence. In the end, all three groups are put on a collision course for Pandora's Box which seems to be the source of the literal Seven Sins. Again, the entire plot is a red herring to set up the arrival of the Crime Syndicate of Earth 3 and the plot of Forever Evil (in which Lex Luthor and other super villains are the ones to save the world from the evil dopplegangers).Trinity War is a fun enough read and it is impressive how much time Geoff Johns spent setting up the story, but it is seriously held back by the fact that the actual war over Pandora's Box ends up amounting to so little. Dr. Light is a throw away character used as a plot device with nothing in common with any of the pre-New 52 variations of the character; the Seven Sins (despite being shown to be sentient and influencing the world with their evil) drop out of the story entirely in the climax and don't work as well as they did in the pre-Flashpoint continuity; and there are certain plot holes that don't add up (at no point is it explained how Shazam being corrupted by the Box leads to the resurrection of Black Adam who was dead at the start of the book but plays a major role in Forever Evil). Again the constant fake outs and red herrings work well enough but you can't help but wonder if some aspects of the big "Trinity of Evil" story were sacrificed in favor of the simpler Crime Syndicate threat. Speaking of, the worst aspect of the story is "Trinity of Evil" aka the New 52 retcons for Pandora, Phantom Stranger, and the Question. While Pandora works well enough as a character, the Phantom Stranger is barely in the story and is seemingly immediately killed off, and even worse the Question is now a paranormal entity who has been stripped of his identity instead of being a badass detective like he was in the Vic Sage/Renee Montoya years. All in all, a decent read but best for completionists. Casual readers may just want to rent this one.

I read this in about a hour. The story can be a little confusing at times, it does clear up the end. Pandora is bent on ending her curse once and for all, but all three justice leagues get invoked. The graphic novel does put the stories in order from start to finish. My thought is how can the evil Alfred be immortal, or is he just in the wrong universe, and how would he know about Pandora's box? This is one heck of a roller coaster ride from start to finish, and I think any fan of the League or just good comics.

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.

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!
