Murals! Sure, we've seen 'em pop up once or twice each on our favorite series, but...can you conceive of...
a comic book title whose entire series is a set of murals? Why, you would be better able to conceive of Superman dying, or Batman having his back broken, or Wonder Woman getting a new costume.
Or, you could just take a big steamin' gawk at the eighteen, count 'em,
eighteen consecutive murals from DC's weekly event series of 2008-2009,
Trinity! Never before have the super forces of
Larry, Moe, and Curly Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman been so...

And because 52 goes into 3...(counting on my hooves)...with
one left over, final issue #52 was a three-part fold-out extravaganza mural all on its own:

So there you have it: the only comic where every three issues was an interconnecting mural. And have you noticed
this: if you put them all together, end to end, in a long straight line, folding them carefully and lining them up just right...and take a step back to survey the entire 52-comic panorama, well then...
you've got way too much time on your hands.

ReplyDeleteThanks! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteAre you planing on doing the Infinity War gatefolds someday?
Did anyone read Trinity? Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteDo you own any (or all) of these comics? I have Trinity #1 and #2, they are nice covers!
