I was flipping through this at the bookstore, today, and it looked to be an interesting read. I haven't bought it, yet, but am on the verge.
What's the feedback?

I don't know what the general consensus is, but I liked Trinity. It's been a while since I read it, but I remember it being an entertaining story that somewhat hearkens back to a simpler age of comics, sort of like New Frontier in a way. Nothing deep, but I recall everyone being written in character, with the dynamic seeming much more natural than it does in a lot of other places. Nice art and some good action beats, too. I'd recommend it.

Great art, fun read, good story. Nothing Earth-shatteringly *AWESOME*, but definitely worth picking up and reading. And in the end, isn't that we want out of a comic book?? The answer may surprise you...

I always gotta go back to $ value, is it worth buying? No. Good read, nothing essential or even incredibly unique. The best thing it does is show us that the relationship between between the big three doesnt always have to be a marketing ploy. Get it from the library.

Trinity was a fun read. It's better than most of the issues so far on the Batman/Superman series, it's definitely better than any of the issues so far on the current JLA series, and I enjoy it over most of the current Superman and Batman story arcs, so yeah.... pick it up! :cool:
Like someone else said, it harkens back to the classic days, while still feeling modern, so if you're a fan of origin stories, it's a must read.

I love it. You might also want to look into Batman & the Mad Monk and Batman & the Monster Men. Both were also written and drawn by Matt Wagner.
Great 'year one' era stuff.

Is this the weekly? I won't buy a weekly book.
I also didn't think the art was so hot. It's that guy from Ultimate Spider-Man right? I don't have much use for him.

It's an okay story about an early Batman and Superman team-up.
Fans of Wonder Woman however should probably steer clear.

Great books. Also, Batman: Faces. It's also by Wagner, and deals with, you guessed it, Two Face. I think it's getting reprinted soon, if not already. Man... I love Wagner's Batman:smile:
Also, I like Bagley...

Yep, what he said. Fortunately, I don't think it's officially canon.

Yeah it was OK. For once a team-up that did not involve Luthor or the Joker, that was good.
I think the last issue/chapter lost its way. But until then it was decent enough.
Monster Man was a lot better.
