I guess I can say these are a borrow for me sight unseen, as I am borrowing them from a friend who has been keeping up with the Justice League titles.
I am curious, especially for those of you who have been reading the titles before they enter into this crossover, what do you think so far?
**ALSO- I would ask, if you aren't reading Trinity War, or aren't reading the New 52 or whatever, that's cool. But you don't actually need to tell us that you aren't reading it, or why you aren't reading it. As you have probably had opportunities to express that in other discussions of DC. This one is specifically a discussion for those that are reading it.

Like Dr Light...does his wife have the same name of the female Dr Light in the previous Universe?
Also ever since Justice League Dark got Lemire the series has become something really special and unique.
I'm already pre-ordered on the Trinity War -- I should be receiving the first couple of chapters today, in fact -- but I'll be stopping dead when it gets to Forever Stupid. Er... I mean, Evil.
I've been reading JL and JLA both from their first issues. I'm reading JLD in trade so am a but behind on that. But with regards to how the Trinity War story has been building with JL and JLA here are my thoughts.
JL has been very hit or miss from the start. There have been some very good arcs in this book. I'm looking at Throne of Atlantis and the Origin stories in particular. But over the last few months the issues have featured 'nothing' issues. Nothing but passing time while seemingly waiting for Trinity War. The SHAZAM back ups have been consistently great though and have kept the booking ticking at a decent level.
JLA has seemingly been only building to Trinity War. With Waller building the JLA team with the sole purpose of bringing down the JL. I've been really enjoying this.
Combining both these books has lead to a really good event so far both the first two issues have been strong and have pushed the story along bringing all three teams into it. As well as Pandora and a little of the Question and Phantom Stranger. And also the 'secret' villain behind it all.
Overall I'm enjoying Trinity War so far. Hope the standard keeps up. I hope Johns and Lemire do us proud!
How have the tie ins been? I'm $1 binning the tie ins...I'll probably end up binding this event but it's not high on my to do list.
And I have to say that I was pretty annoyed to pick up Justice League #21 and not have the Justice League anywhere in the issue.
The new version is ok. I will however be glad when making characters "darker" becomes boring to consumers so that when someone makes a goofy fun version of a character it will be considered innovative and sell well.
Pretty much what I dug...Freddy's free of being the "Junior-grade kid with Elvis' hair". I like the idea that each of them got ONE aspect of the power (or SOME power at any rate) like the guy talking with machines or the young girl with super-speed. So many things that can spring from this...does Shazam have the ability to bestow power on ANYone, or just this particular batch of people close to him?
I'm withholding judgement, but I like what I've seen so far.
Just because cheese was the norm does not invalidate my original statement.
After reading the prelude, I'm not looking forward to this since they ruined The Question for me. It will probably be awkward reading the JLD books but not reading the main storyline much like it was reading JLD and not reading the Vampire crossover mini.
