Synopsis
DC's hit weekly series arrives in its first collected edition from writers Kurt Busiek (ASTRO CITY, JLA, Marvels) and Fabian Nicieza (X-Men, ROBIN) and a legion of artists including the sensational Mark Bagley (Ultimate Spider-Man)! Features TRINITY #1-17 as a devastating cosmic force targets Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman! Featuring stunning covers by Carlos Pacheco, Andy Kubert and Jim Lee and Scott Williams, this is the first of three volumes collecting the series.
Trinity is tripe.
tripe –noun
| 1. |
the first and second divisions of the stomach of a ruminant, esp. oxen, sheep, or goats, used as food. |
| 2. |
Slang. something, esp. speech or writing, that is false or worthless; rubbish. |
Yup, that about sums it up.
Which is a shame, as Busiek is a good writer on Astro City, sometimes even great. It's a shame he went into pure fan-boy mode, rather than trying to raise this potentially good title above the dross that DC churns out for its three main heroes just to make money.
Then again, even if was beautifully written and smart, it'd still be tripe because of the sickening, childish art.
