About this title

About the Author:

Matt Wagner has enjoyed a career in comics for over twenty years. Born and educated in Pennsylvania, his first published work was a short story that would introduce one of comicdom's most respected creator-owned characters--the mastermind assassin, GRENDEL. Best known for this epic creation and his other, more personal, allegory, MAGE, Matt has also worked on a variety of established characters. These include his ground-breaking work on the character of Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, FACES, as well as a five-year stint both developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE. His more recent efforts in this vein have included writing the DR. MID-NITE mini-series for DC Comics and serving as the regular cover artist on the Kevin Smith-penned relaunch of GREEN ARROW.

From Booklist:

Trinity adds Wonder Woman to the mix and, more important, boasts writer-artist Wagner, best known for his independent-comics creations Grendel and mage, as author. At an early stage in their careers, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman join forces to thwart a scheme by Batman's foe Ra's al Ghul to disrupt world communications. The villain, meanwhile, has enlisted Superman's twisted duplicate, Bizarro, and a renegade Amazon from Wonder Woman's Paradise Island home. Wagner effectively uses thought captions to accentuate the characters' different approaches to fighting crime--Superman's calm superiority, Batman's resoluteness, Wonder Woman's bemusement at the violence of "Man's World." Wagner's sparse, thoughtful art and clear, elegant storytelling constitute a model style for traditional superhero comics. While he provides the superpowered slugfests genre fans demand, moments that convey the power of Superman, the grimness of Batman, and the majesty of Wonder Woman are more memorable. Gordon Flagg
