Diana and Bruce are coming to Clark's house to have dinner and maybe find a way they can relate to this new Superman. However, things are going to get more complicated once that they find some strange events around.
This is the beggining for yet another series focusing on the DC Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, this time handled by writer/artist Francis Manapul. How does it fare?
... I guess it gets the job done? Not without flaws though.
Manapul immediately focuses on the status quo of the three characters and how that makes them different from each other, especially considering that this is the pre-Flashpoint Superman that Batman and Wonder Woman barely know and their memories about New 52 Superman and their relationships with him are still fresh on their minds. This creates some interesting and accurate moments of characterization while also having some funny scenes playing with old history like the fact that Bruce once wore a rainbow Batman costume.
However, the interactions and dialogue can be a bit awkward at times. Nothing too noticeable nor bothersome but some of the lines feel a bit out of place while the way how the conversations between the characters start seem unreal and forced, there's no natural way to connect the exposition about the protagonists.
Manapul's artwork on the other hand is gorgeous, he offers some of the best visuals you can find in any comic and there's no difference here. The characters are beautiful and the storytelling is precise.
Not great but not bad and the story itself doesn't progress that much but hopefully that will be fixed in the next one.
