Now that Casper has finally been sent to a farm upstate, it falls on me to take over Batman/Superman: World's Finest reviews for him. Anyone who has been reading my Upcoming Comics posts can tell you that this is almost always the title that I look forward to the most every month. The main reason…

It’s the end to “Heir to the Kingdom,” and while it’s been an entertaining story, I’ve had my doubts about how the conclusion would turn out. One of the things I was wondering was whether or not Darkseid would get knocked out with (relative) ease, much like Gog in the previous issue, resulting in a…

This has been my favorite series, but the things I like the most haven’t been the super-powered brawls. Those are cool to look at for sure, but particularly last issue’s attempts at making Gog more interesting fell flat, as he basically read like a generic evil god, and his motivation was poorly explained. This is…

It’s chapter 3 of “Heir to the Kingdom,” the prequel story to Waid and Ross’ Kingdom Come (1996). So far, this arc has been a lot of fun, although there has been a lot of emphasis on hero versus hero fights, which isn’t exactly my favorite story idea in superhero comics, as it’s been done…

“Heir to the Kingdom” continues! Last month Thunderman viciously attacked Superman, and this month the second chapter picks up where the first left off. Can Batman and Superman save Thunderman, or has Thunderman gone to the dark side completely? And what happens when Batman and Superman run into their Kingdom Come counterparts? Last but not…

A new arc, titled “Heir to the Kingdom,” kicks off in this issue. Previously, a new arc meant that it was also a good jumping-on point for new readers. This time, that might not entirely be the case, since it builds on the second arc of this series, “Strange Visitor,” which introduced David, a young…

Here’s the conclusion of "Phantom Riddles," a re-imagining of Batman and Superman’s first meeting. Rather than giving us an elaborate arc, the creative team has opted for a short-and-sweet approach. Part one was a lot of fun, but can part two live up to that quality? Let’s have a look. I did not enjoy “Phantom…

As usual after every big arc, World’s Finest presents a smaller, interlude-type story before the start of the next big arc. So far, these interludes have been fun, little one-shots. This time, however, it’s a two-part story about how Batman and Superman first met. That story has been told several times in the past, but…

We’ve reached the final chapter of the “Elementary” arc. Newmazo has taken control and it takes the combined force of the JLA to stop him. Last month’s issue, while still good, was action-heavy and somewhat overcrowded with too many super-powered heroes. The creative team has to be careful to not overdo it for the finale,…

The true threat of this arc, Newmazo, has been revealed. AI has turned hostile and our heroes have to work together to save the day. This arc has been very action-packed so far, as well as probably the biggest arc yet, since it involves the wider DC Universe and doesn’t just revolve around Batman and…

It’s chapter three of the third arc, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to dig into this one. Last month Waid, Mora and Bonvillain left us with a great cliffhanger. Can they live up to expectations and deliver another chapter of the same quality? Let’s have a look. This is an…

It’s the second chapter of the third arc, and this arc is off to a good start. The setup last month was excellent. Not only did it provide a neat jumping-on point, but it was also a strong premise that promises a great adventure, involving Metamorpho and Simon Stagg. I can’t wait to see where…

Last month we got a very fun one-shot, and this month the new arc begins. Mora is back on art duties, and I’m really looking forward to this story as it will involve Metamorpho and a murder. This has easily been my favorite DC title for months now, so let’s not waste any time and…

The previous arc was pretty dark at times, and there was a lot going on in terms of character development and story structure. Sometimes, after having concluded an arc like that, it can be nice to take a step back and tell a one-and-done story. Not only does this give Mora, the ongoing artist, a…

It’s the final issue of the second arc, and it’s been a lot of fun so far. Can Superman and Batman save David? Can David become the hero that he’s supposed to be or will he fall to the dark side? Can the creative team end this arc on a high note? Let’s have a…

This story keeps getting better and better with every issue. My main critique last month was that the villains need a bit more development to really justify their appearances and their actions, but so far I’ve been loving the fantastic artwork and the great character interactions. The previous issue ended with David being captured by…

The first two issues of the current arc have been great. The creative team is putting a lot of effort into developing David’s character, as well as fleshing out the drama that revolves around him. I’m eager to get into issue #9, so let’s just have ourselves a look! The character work continues to be…

The series' second arc, which started in last month’s issue, continues this week. I was a big fan of the previous installment, which introduced the new character, David, who has now stepped into the role of Boy Thunder, Superman’s sidekick. The current arc was off to a great start, but can the creative team keep…

A new arc starts in this issue, and it’s a good jumping-on point for new readers looking to get into this series. There's a whole new adventure that introduces a whole new character, and you can easily pick this up and read it without having read the first arc. But is it actually worth your…

I really enjoyed last month’s issue and thought it was the best of the run so far. The one unresolved plot thread, however, is Robin’s disappearance as he got lost in time during his and Supergirl’s time-traveling adventure. This issue is a one-shot that’s meant to address what’s happened to Robin, and to have Batman…
