I thought that the ending of this was very disappointing.

Liked the intertwining story-lines, and the characters from the new 52 I didn't know much about prior, like Deadman and Firestorm. However, the conclusion just led to another big cliffhanger, which is no ending at all.

I haven't had much time to sit and read a comic in a while, and I was expecting a lot from this. I wasn't disappointed, but I was expected to be blown away because this was about double the size of a normal volume. I felt like it was cool to kind of explore Pandora's backstory in this feature, however, I felt like it lacked a certain element. The artwork was gorgeous like it always is. Next is Forever Evil, and I am looking forward to that one just a little bit more than this one.

I didn't have a problem with the art except for a few pages that were drawn awful. However, I found this huge crossover confusing and boring. There were some interesting origin stories and side stories but that was pretty much it.

A good story, but it was also a little confusing. Many characters were under utilized and others were just added without explanation. I do love the end though and the return of the C.....sorry no spoilers here lol!!!

Very intriguing. This is the event that leads to the end of the first New 52 Teen Titans as well as Nightwing. I suggest reading before all volume 5's in New 52 as this is just before or in the middle of those volumes.

I really enjoyed it. I really had no clue just what was going on or where this would lead. I love that as many books and comics are rather predictable.

Trinity War was my first foray into the New 52. I was angry with DC (for a multitude of reasons, mostly for the Oracle magical disability removing sitch), so up 'til now I've been collecting whatever I can pre-New 52.

I bought Trinity War on a whim, wondering how bad it could possibly be if it features a lot of favourite characters, a chance to see them as they are in the New 52.

I was underwhelmed and disappointed. This is a vast train wreck of the JL and JLA beating the crap out of eachother for reasons that make no sense. DC have turned every single one of their characters into ridiculous anti-heroes with no heart - indeed, you could probably switch up all their lines and you'd be none the wiser, possibly assuming Batman said all of it.

The anti-hero thing really only works for actual, y'know, anti-heroes. The only character who came through as actually having a personality was John Constantine... which says something when you're reading anything pertaining to the Justice League. (League. Leagues. Makes it hard to follow or step into.) Constantine in Captain Marvel's boots was quite a cool moment. (I know it's "Shazam" now, but he's always going to be Captain Marvel to me.)

Overall, this is one to avoid. Wake me up when Supes, Bats and Wondie et al aren't spewing dark and conflicted crap.

Meh. I've already read Forever Evil and I loved it, but the buildup to it, which was the Trinity war, just didn't do it for me.

OK, I'm a little slow right now, but I think I figured out how this is working. This is called a cross-over event where they take threads of stories from many lines of the other players like Justice League Dark and Pandora and other and they thread the story together into one whole story. It seems like most of the DC universe was here.

I have not read all of DC New 52 so most of this was new information, but some things I have read. One of them was Pandora. I read Vol. 1 and I really enjoyed that story and I wanted to get more into that. And all 3 of the people in the trinity were also in this = the Question (who I really like that character for some reason) and the Phantom Stranger.

So, this Trinity war was really good. We find out why Superman got sick and why it looks like he killed someone. We find out what happened to Madame Xanadu and we also find out what Pandora's Box is and does.

I thought that this is one of the better things I have read from DC New 52. I can understand if you have already read all this in the different funs and put it together in your head, but I liked having it all in one place. It was entertaining and I liked that it was full of all these characters of DC. We get to see everyone. I thought it was entertaining.

I have decided that I like these little crossover books between the numbers. I'll be sure to get them in the future.
