HEY! I'M the resident commie! Ask Wonder Boy. You're a Mexican lumpen proleteriat. Its hard to see how Trinity will work. Batman and Superman kind of works because they are different characters who contrast against each other. But WW is at the end of the day a boobed-up variant of Superman.

I don't think she is quite that - I think she is a bit more complicated than the boy in blue, but whether they make that distinction in Trinity remains to be seen.
I haven't had time to pick it up yet - anyone read it yet?
 Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

3 different dreams,..yet the same, by all three heros,.. while the Flash's 2 kids kick the crap out of a major Batman villian. What a cluster-fuck... and only 16 pages. Makes about as much sence as...

Issue 2  Supes stops a magical solar system. Wondy stops giant robots. Bats is teleported to Gotham's past. Morgan and Enigma continue to plot. In the backup, John Stewart tackles the giant monster Konvikt. Hmmm. Would be nice for better story, but this reads too quickly. Still, it's the second issue. If it doesn't do anything by issue 9 (12 tops) I'm dropping it.

I finally got around to reading issue #1 and #2. Once I was done, I went and did a #1 and a #2. This title is shit. It sucks worse than Sammich's mom on crack.

 Iggy spoilered it...bastard. The backup was more interesting than the lead. I don't know if I should care that Gangbuster is back, but at least it wasn't more Morgan Le Fey crap. The rest of the league was in the lead story. That's something, as stated in Iggy's thread, that I think is stupid. This series shouldn't involve the JLA as much as it is.

Further proof that "Trinity" is just another "JLA" book: - Our lead feature this week is by series writer Kurt Busiek and the art team of Mark Bagley and Art Thibert. We pick up the action where we left off last week as members of the Justice League of America respond to John Stewart's distress call. The monstrous alien criminal, Konvikt, with color commentary by his sidekick Graak, turned from his one-sided battle with Stewart and the local military and attacked the league. Despite their impressive array of powers, the League members could not contain Konvikt as he shrugged off their counter-attack. As the League attended to the wounded, Superman was left to go it alone against Konvikt, a battle that none of them doubted he could lose. Yet, when the dust settled, Konvikt stood victorious, leaving the League stunned at the sight.

Yeah come on, didn't you read JLofA #0? Those three are the league. Anyone else that writers choose are there for their own fan masturbation.

Right. That's the issue we were talking about in the other thread. Have you actually read the book?

It's getting poor reviews all around. I just find a comic boring when someone punches something as they say "I'm going to punch you!". Or when characters spend three issues talking about how something is going to happen and how it'll happen, then we see it happen and all the suspense is gone from the moment. Trinity has 3 more issues to "Wow" me. I don't want to drop it, but I will.

The book's shite, of course. But, I'm still wondering why the demon in/on this card is giving us the vulcan salute ...

He's an orthodox Jew, I guess. Maybe the artist was doing a 'shout out' to Rev. Wright and his idea that the Jews are all devils.

I'm going to pick up my books sometime this weekend and all four ish are in my stash. I was actually looking forward to reading them until I read this thread...
so, that bad, huh?
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

I know that you can afford it but, it is a complete waste of money.
Actually if you wait a week, I'll be auctioning mine starting a .01...

I'll have them up tomorrow or the next day if you want to wait. I'm sure they'll go for less than 3 bucks. I just don't give a shit about comics in general right now and this load of crap in particular.

I think the only reason I'm still getting it was because of Bagley but I could start seeing how the art is getting a bit more of that "rushed" look to it and the back-up is boring.I'll prolly drop it but I can't do it just yet.

  Issues 5 and 6. Umm...the fight with Konvict is over. Wonder Woman says why she was once attracted to Superman and Batman. The three discuss more about the dreams each had, which was done 3 times already. And Jose is back in costume as Gangbuster.

 Issues 7, 8, and 9: A new character Swashbuckler steals stuff, including Nightwing's mask. Bruce is attacked during a party by three wolf things. Stuff about the cosmic egg's power and Krona. And more about how the world views Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
