DC READIES HARDCOVER COLLECTION OF BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY
One of the most exciting projects of 2003 will be collected in a deluxe hardcover edition in the BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY HC. Written and illustrated by Matt Wagner, the miniseries chronicles the first meetings of comics' three greatest icons.
"What a thrill and an honor to have TRINITY collected in such a beautiful format," says Wagner. "This series was an absolute blast for me from beginning to end. Trying to capture and balance the iconic energy of the world's three most widely recognized super-heroes was a lifelong dream for me and, as an independent creator most used to working on his own properties, I'm happy to say how very accommodating DC was in allowing me to bring my own vision to the table. I'm extremely happy with the final product and I can't wait to get my hands on any or all of these archetypes again!"
BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY HC
is planned to include a sketchbook section and a new cover by Wagner. It will be solicited in the March issue of Previews (Volume XIV, #3) and is scheduled to reach stores in May with a cover price of $24.95 U.S.
