Trinity #3 is yet another eye catching and evocative addition to one of DCs newest series. I enjoy the emotional trips into the minds and the pasts of each of the characters, as well as Lois inclusion as a gamechanging element by the end of the issue. Between art and story, this team is doing the DC Trinity justice and I appreciate their care in crafting this narrative. There seems to be so much quality work and storytelling in our future, and this issue is clearly no exception. Read Full Review

Overall, TRINITY #3 is a deep, mysterious, and gorgeous issue. It's beautiful to look at, and to read as well. I highly recommend reading it if you're a nerd like me who's obsessed with in-depth character analysis. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next installment! Read Full Review

What this also does, is bring the three heroes closer together also. They weren't exactly friends to begin with, but it looks like they're already growing closer as each of them relive their worst moments. We can't help but think if Wonder Woman's turn will involve her loss of Themiscyra somehow. Given that this is one of the smaller titles compared to the rest of the current Rebirth run, it's undoubtedly one of the best. It doesn't constrain itself too much, and just allows the narrative flow without it being forced in a particular direction. If you're looking to get to know some of the world's finest heroes a little better – this is the story for you. Read Full Review

As the story shifts to Batman and his baggage,Trinity #3 manages to add another gorgeous layer on top of last month's touching trip to Smallville. Clay Mann, Seth Mann, and Brad Anderson prove the perfect artistic stand-ins for the subject matter, and Manapul flourishes as writer.Trinity is still the best character-focused book in the entire line, and if you aren't reading it, you're missing something truly special.

In general, this series continues to give the readers very “down-to-earth” moments for these mythic heroes. Its great to see these three have very “human” moments. In its simplest form, this was an issue about a grieving son and his two friends being there for him to help him overcome his own doubts about himself due to a tragic event. The previous issue was about a young father getting a chance to connect with his own father in a way he never could before having a son. I hope we get this same trend in the next issue with Diana's “twilight-zone” version of Themyscira. Read Full Review

Manapul gives us a little of the outside world, enough so that we get a loose grip on what is going on. There is just enough being explained to keep a reader happy, while the overall mystery is a pleasurable puzzle. Read Full Review

Overall though, Trinityis absolutely moving in the right direction and quickly working it's way to becoming on of the best Rebirth titles. The way it can use art uniquely to explore these characters and tell the story makes it fascinating to come back each month and see how the title will reinvent itself, it's currently one of DC's most unpredictable books. While definitely rough around the edges in places, the issue manages to be nostalgic, moving and utterly gorgeous. I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

In short, Trinity has been a pleasant surprise, and while it deals with some familiar themes, it does it in an impressively effective way and should be an easy addition to your pull list. Read Full Review

Though not as strong for me as the first two issues, partially because I'm just so mired in Batman material for so many years, this installment does a lot of good stuff and it does it very well. The art change had me worried as I've been very mixed on the Mann's this past year in what they do but a quality colorist goes a long way to really elevating the work. Manapul's script is perhaps a bit too on the nose in some cases but it's looking to explore and expand on things without going too far since it's taking place within the larger continuity. I like what we get here overall and I'm curious to see how it all comes together both as the arc itself and in reading it all in one sitting to see the connections in a better way. And as much as I do like what Clay and Seth do here, I'm hoping for more Manapul artwork sooner rather than later as that's the big draw for me. Read Full Review

Trapped in a dreamworld with his fellow Justice Leaguers, the Darknight Detective is forced to relive his parents murder and its tortured aftermath. Does the experience bring the heroes any closer to escaping their hellish hallucination? Can anyone from the outside world rescue the protagonists from imprisonment inside their own imaginations? Read Full Review

Trinity #3 sees writer Francis Manapul continue to demonstrate his skill at constructing a solidly iconic and emotionally honest relationship between DC's three signature characters. Though the issue has more heart than action overall, and though it continues to introduce more mysteries than it solves, the result is still satisfying and classic in tone. Clay Mann's bold and skillful art is a highlight and fits in with Manapul's work on the other issues. A solidly entertaining read. Read Full Review

All in all, Trinity #3: good, not great. Read Full Review

Trinity #3 needed some fresh areas to explore in tackling Batman's purpose and guilt and Manapul can't find any new ground to cover. Readers already invested in the storyline might give it a pass, but this isn't a great jumping on issue for newcomers. Read Full Review

Overall though this is a great series and the art is incredible. This issue may not have been as good, but I do have high hopes it will pick up again and continue to be one of the best books DC is releasing. Read Full Review

A practical reason for Batman's resistance to the illusion could be that he has more experience with reality altering illusions that Superman does. Batman regularly faces off against Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. He has contingency plans that let him know when he is disconnecting from reality. This entire issue is the equivalent of a blocked punch. Poison Ivy tries to attack Batmanemotionally and psychically and he protects himself. Read Full Review

I am quickly losing interest in this book which is a shame because after the first issue, I thought I was all in.  However, Francis Manapul is in no hurry to give the reader rules and answers and while Clay Mann's art is spectacular, I can't recommend this issue.  Hopefully, Manapul will turn it around quick because there is a lot of potential here and I'd hate to see it go to waste.

I loved the art of Trinity #3, I think Clay Mann is a great artist for Manapul to switch out with occasionally and there styles work well together. The story of this issue was a little dry but what it sets up is very exciting. Read Full Review

I agree that it was not as amazing as the previous two issues of Trinity, but once Francis Manapul has drawn something it is hard to compete. I enjoy the story and think that Lois is being very well written in the recent Rebirth comics. I cannot wait to see what is done for Wonder Woman's fear.

This is what Justice League Rebirth should be

The story seems less focused than it started out in issue #1. The story is,at best, average.

The art, on the other hand (by Clay Mann & co.), is amazing. It is, easily, the best work I have (ever) seen from Mann...with smart and creative layouts inspired by, series writer/primary artist, Francis Manapul. Beautiful work.

Score: 7.3

Comic Book Review (7.5/10) "Good,"
Trinity #3 "Better Together Part 3: Nobody Dies Tonight,"
Writer: Francis Manapul,
Penciller: Clay Mann,
Plot: This time our heroes are in Gotham and witnessing young Bruce Wayne cope with the loss of his parents. Dr. Harlene Quinzel is helping young Bruce cope with his trauma. Meanwhile, back in Hamilton Valley Jonathan Kent is missing and Lois goes looking for her son...
This is a strange issue since Batman aka Bruce Wayne doesn't get to meet his parents as Clark Kent did in the previous issue, but meets a young Bruce Wayne who is coping with the loss of his parents. The Batman Animated Series version of Scarecrow makes a cameo in this issue as Dr. Quinzel is trying to help young Bruce cope with the fear he experiences by remembering various smells during the tragic murder of his parents. There are some really cool pages where young Bruce is affected by the fear gas and sees Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman in different hellish forms. This books feels like it's more flash than substance, as alot of the things that are going on on this world make no sense. The rules of this strange world are not clearly defined and feels more like a crazy dream world rather than a blast into the past.
Manapul takes a break from pencilling duties and Mann provides the pencils in this book and it looks gorgeous. This book still remains one of the better looking books for Rebirth and Mann's artwork is a more nightmarish version to Manapul's storybook-esque artwork. This book made me want to see Mann do a monsters book in a gritty world! more

Beautiful art (even if it is a step down from Manapul). Story isn't as gripping unfortunately. 7/10

Manapul as an artist is incredible, as a writer not so much, and despite a very strong first issue the story starts to get weak.
Just like the previous one, this issue feels more like a one-shot rather that the 3rd part of a bigger story. Want to see Batman's parents murder again? Want to see young Bruce feel guilty and sad? buy this issue; otherwise skip it as there is no story progression nor character development.
Art is really good thou
