Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are the Trinity, DC’s three most popular, iconic superheroes. But mixing three great tastes doesn’t necessarily make them taste great together, as Trinity Rebirth proves. “Better Together”? Ha! Batman and Wonder Woman visit the new Superman’s Kansas farmstead for a getting-to-know-you dinner. BUT THEN…! Nonsense ensues meaning we have to endure re-reading each character’s well-known origins, finally ending on some convoluted, meaningless pap with a B-list villai...

I thought this was a pretty solid beginning to the book. Francis Manapul's art is a beauty to behold. I could stare at it all day. Unfortunately there are some fill in artists for some of the issues. Fortunately, Clay and Seth Mann and Emanuela Lupacchino are all talented artists in their own right. Manapul does a great job with the first issue. Bruce Wayne and Princess Diana come to the Kents' farm for dinner to get to know each other better. It's nice, heartwarming issue. Leading into the 2nd

Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths.My rating is 3.5 stars.Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. The Big Three icons of DC. Separate, they are fan favorites. Together, they should be the stuff of fanboy dreams. And while Trinity: Better Together isn’t a revolutionary book; it is actually an engaging read, not overwhelmingly action-packed, but still entertaining, especially if you enjoy more of a character driven plot.It all starts off with Batman and Wonder Woman heading on over to the Kent’s farm to h...

This has a promising beginning and end but the story arc did nothing for me. It was basically a blank slate to rehash the backgrounds of all of these characters. Maybe they thought it necessary with the Rebirth relaunch but it didn't make for entertaining reading. The art is gorgeous. The beginning where Clark has to get used to Bruce and Diana was great! I loved Jon's meeting with Bruce. Diana and Lois had few moments. That was all I really enjoyed about this. I'm sure the next issues will be b...

I love these three together. Just love it. Especially when there is no unnecessary romance thrust on them. These three are meant to be together, and I mean in a platonic way. I it like when they work as a team and family, as soldiers and heroes. On equal footing. And Clark making fun of Bruce is pure gold. So is Bruce getting protective of the other two and Diana babysitting them when they get their ass kicked. I am hoping future volumes will involve Diana arguing with B and C about their differ...

[Read as single issues]It's been a while since there was a Trinity book, but I think it's time we had a new one. This one we get is pretty darn good, thanks in part to writer Francis Manapul's good understanding of the characters as well as the gorgeous art on display.The story focuses on the Trinity, as you'd expect, when they get attacked by a mysterious plant and end up trapped in dream worlds that help them relive their origin stories. After the set-up issue, each issue following explores a

I have read Francis Manapul's first arc of the Trinity series in separate issues. The otherwise promising start somehow ended in an anticlimactic and underwhelming fashion. But given the right mindset, one could really appreciate one Manapul is trying to convey to its readers.Trinity's Better Together is not a boombastic fight between comic's most iconic heroes and whoever supervillain they are fighting against. There's that fight of course in the end but in a rather subdued and in an extremely

Manapul's art is spectacular, but unfortunately the writing is not to the same standard. It's simply yet another bland look at the origins of characters whose origins have been written and re-written to death. There's meant to be character development, but there's nothing that hasn't already been developed half a dozen times before. The impulse to write an ongoing book with DC's Big Three isn't off target, but it needs to say something that hasn't already been said, repeatedly.

ARC REVIEW Story: In an act of friendship and as a chance to get to know the new Superman, Lois Lane invites Diana Prince and Bruce Wayne to the farm house for dinner. It goes fine aside from little Jon accidentally burning a hole through the door and almost burns a hole through Bruce and Diana. But after dinner something funny happens. They get tangled up in a suspicious vine that transports them into their dreams where they must relive pivotal life changing events from their lives. Poison Ivy

As much as I have read many solo adventures featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, with the exception of them being founding members of the Justice League, there aren’t many stories working as a threesome, let alone many good ones (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). As one of the most prominent artists for DC in the last ten years, Francis Manapul reunites the holy trinity in a world that is different yet familiar with the characters and their readers.Please click here for my full review...

Hey everyone, let's get DC's BIG THREE together . . . and then briefly re-hash their origin stories once again and stick them in a standard mind-screw plot. That probably sounds way more harsh than intended, because it was great to see this trio (friends and teammates who know and understand each other) in action. So what if the story was average? The artwork was vibrant, I liked Lois Lane's narration, and the ending leaves a door wide open for continuing and future adventures.

The sort of convoluted dwelling on origins thing I enjoy but it ain’t for everyone.

Considering this is another kick at the can thanks to a reboot (soft or otherwise) I was a bit hesitant at first. I was really worried that we’d be rehashing something again for the sake of rehashing it. In the end, this was actually pretty fun and for me at least, the elements from the past felt more like nods of the hat than say a call back that served no purpose. Long story short, this is the current iteration of how the Trinity (Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman) meetup and come to an agree...

Loved this 'big three' centred story which serves as a nice connective between the individual character's own issues. Talking of issues...boy...do these guys have them! 'Other world' Clark has parenting doubts while still dealing with his own daddy issues; Bruce had major league guilt; Diana needs to find home and doesn't know how to get there, but they soon realise (thanks to Lois) that they need each other to work it out.While the arc may be a little 'Oprah', it's a good opportunity to let the...

Poor ending but hits all the emotions right.World: The art is deceptive, it starts off absolutely gorgeous cause it's Manapul and slowly but surely as he focuses on writing and other artists comes in loses the wonderful splash pages and beautiful emotions and colors. The world building is good. This is a first arc and though we all know these characters' origins and it is a rehash, I felt the pieces of the world we visited and the characters meeting their younger selves and the emotions of the w...

A book of backstories. If you're reading this, you're probably extremely familiar with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman and don't need reminding of their origins. These rehashes are haphazardly wrapped up in one of the most convoluted and uninteresting plots that I've ever had the misfortune to read. The conflict is boring, but not as boring as the main antagonist who is so forgettable that I've literally forgotten their name already. Luckily, Manapul seems to have a knack for writing the Trini...

Not bad but not particularly strong either.

Nice art. Story was a bit of a rehash of a rehashed rehash.

Francis Manapul reunites the three DC icons in a plot that uses one issue per character to underline their frailties and strenghs before confronting the menace that'll bind them again.The story starts reasonably well. I was honestly surprised to see that Manapul could write pretty decently. The off monologues sound good if sometimes a bit mushy and the plot is well paced. Too bad the underwhelming final issue half ruined it and left all the mushy aspects floating on the surface. Yet it seems Man...

Meh, nice art, but it's another boring, introduction to the characters and their background motivations. It adds little to the DC universe and reads like a million other comics that came before it.
