Meh. The story wasn't bad, but the artwork was fugly. Also, Wonder Woman's weird shorts looked ridiculous.
An introduction to the Big Three in the early years with some nice perspectives you rarely see in the superhero comics.The artwork is above average to good. OVERALL GRADE: B.
Good! So finally got to read this one as part of the DC Comics Graphic Novel collection, which is nice because this one has been on my radar for a while. So the story is Ra's Al Ghul has gotten his hands on some missiles, that he's gonna use to take over the world etc... (standard James Bond plot), he also enlists the help of Artemis(Wonder Woman villain) and Bizzaro Superman, which of course gets Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman's attention. Overall its pretty standard super hero stuff, nothin...
I'm a fan of a lot of Matt Wagner's comics. I thought his Grendel series to be very cool and interesting. I've also seen Matt Wagner write some mainstream titles and have enjoyed them. When I saw this Wagner title, he is the writer and artist, I snatched it up. I am rather glad I did.I did not consider it part of any mainstream continuity, but rather as a noir interpretation of the meeting between Batman and Superman with Wonder Woman (there is an Aquaman cameo, strangely enough) for the first t...
This book serves as the first meeting of The Trinity in the post-crisis DC Universe, as the heroes face off against Ra's Al Ghul, Bizzarro and Artemis. The book has a decent start but soon goes downhill as the story unfolds. Every character, except Superman, is done some form of injustice. Sometimes, Batman acts way more aggressive than he really should, and Wonder Woman appears way more weaker than she should be, and so on.Matt Wagner art also leaves much to be desired. It feels like he lazily
Trinity by Matt Wagner is one of the Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman team-ups that should have been taken to the big screen. It tells the story of the first collaboration between the trio that make up the core of the Justice League. While Batman and Superman are allies already at this point, it is the first time they meet and work alongside Wonder Woman."...I will always remember my first sight of her. Lois, you're the most compelling woman I've met. But this...is the most magnificent..."Ra's al Gh...
Finally a decent superman story!
Good things really do come in threes. The DC Trinity have been one of my favourite superhero teams for a long time, and this book really manages to capture what makes them so great as a unit. The characterisations of the trio are done justice, each feeling distinct in personality with their inner monologues and interactions, yet equally important. Where this is lacking is the story. It's not bad, but there's nothing overly impressive about it. What you get here is a masterful character led narra...
Boring and rough artwork. Big pass.
As a long time fan of DC and reader of many comics, this is an obvious ret-con of the meeting of the big three. This would be great for a first time reader or a new to the universe reader. Saying it is a ret-con however doesn't mean its a bad thing as this version is done very well. I enjoyed the natural responses from all of them as they meet each other and get to know how the others work. I enjoyed the relationship between Batman and Superman and in this story Superman doesn't come across quit...
It has taken me awhile to read this graphic novel, but I have. It is a decent What if story about DC Comics' big three's first meeting and it is a very interesting tale though, not amazingly so. While the story was impressive the artwork did not really hit with me. I started this book when I first got into comics, but I sort-of forgot about it until a few weeks ago when I finally decided to finish it up. I am not going to read it again, but it is not a bad read.
I liked the story, but I really wish that the art work had been better.

This book was written 10 years ago and it still holds up today. Taking place early in Batman and Superman's careers, they meet Wonder Woman for the first time. Matt Wagner is a master storyteller. His art is fantastic and reminiscent of the old Fleischer Superman cartoons. I love how he characterizes the big three. My one complaint is how misogynistic he writes Ra's al Ghul. It just doesn't seem to fit with a man who's trying to wipe out humanity.
Very retro in it's execution. World: The art is good. It has it's own sense of style and motion, I love the thick black lines, character models not so much. The world building is solid, building on the lore of these three heroes. It's nothing new and special but rather a classic take on them and treads familiar ground. Story: Well paced and very retro in it's execution. The portrayals of the characters are old school as is he villain and the stakes. This is what a classic comic book feels like.
Ra’s Al-Ghul executes his latest dastardly plan of undoing human civilisation and the damage it’s wrought on the planet by wiping it out because Greenpeace aren’t hardcore enough! He defrosts Bizarro, who’s frozen in an iceberg for some reason, and then it’s up to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman to stop him. This is also the story of Superman and Batman’s first meeting with Wonder Woman.The book starts well with Clark going about his routine of pretending to be clumsy and ditzy to throw off a...
3.5 Stars! (Good) this is a decent book to read for trinity lovers. While the plot was not so great but there are lots of cool moments in it. I liked how these three meets and interact together for first time. Pacing and writing is fine and I liked the cartoonish artwork which has some really lovely pages. there were two things that bothered me bit in it. First, on many pages, it was hard to see who was speaking because of no distinction between thought boxes of various characters. And second
What's interesting about this book is Wagner's examination of environment and how it defines and drives its heroes. Batman breaks a dude's jaw because Gotham is a hard place, and when someone invades his turf, it is his responsibility to make sure the darkness doesn't swallow someone into the shadows before he can question them. Wonder Woman acts swiftly and silently because she lives in Paradise and has no reason to be underestimated or expect pain, though all the men around her do underestimat...
While not necessarily essential reading, the book is another take on the first team-up of DC's storied 'Big Three.' (Superman and Batman are already acquainted, however.) It was lean and fast-moving, though the artwork varies between being reminiscent of the Fleischer cartoons of the 40's to being downright questionable (sorry, WW - you unfortunately bear the brunt of it). Also interesting was that Superman and Wonder Woman get first-person thought 'boxes' while Batman stays in the third. What g...
Not a great story. The characters all seemed off. Plus I freaking hated the artwork.
