So far in this arc a lot of our time has been spent seeing all the different Bizarro versions of various DC characters on Bizarro World. I've generally praised this aspect, as it's a lot of goofy fun that I believe works for the type of concept Bizarro is. Now that we're in the home…
Last month I said that the strongest parts of the story were less about the plot and more about the fun Bizarro premise. Well this issue seems to have taken that to heart, as it almost entirely leans into exploring the different aspects of the Bizarro world. It gets to the point where it runs…
Bizarro is such a ridiculous concept. It's long been a staple in comics that superheroes have some sort of enemy that is just like them, but evil. It makes for a good "dark reflection" character conflict, as well as an easy way to give them a foe who is definitionally an even match. Bizarro takes…
As far as World's Finest is concerned, "We Are Yesterday" is done. The event still has a few more entries over in Justice League Unlimited, but the Bronze Age Batman and Superman now return to their regularly scheduled adventures. As is often the case in between big arcs on this title, we get a much…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Four of the “We Are Yesterday” crossover event between our titles. As always, my comments will be in blue, while Akash’s comments will be in purple. Right away this issue's opening does a good job of quickly establishing the kind of story you should expect. Right away…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Three of the "We Are Yesterday" crossover event between our titles. My comments will be in blue, while Akash's comments will be in purple. Well after a "first" issue that hardly had anything to do with the crossover, and a second issue that was mostly exposition…
For the next couple of months, Batman/Superman: World's Finest and Justice League Unlimited will be sharing a storyline as part of the "We Are Yesterday" crossover event. As such, we decided that it would be a good idea for Akash and I team up and discuss our thoughts on the event together. You'll be able…
Two cities at war, lost love reignited, a magic conspiracy, and on top of all that a villainous plant monster orchestrating it all. You almost think it'd be too much to cover in only three issues. Sadly, you'd probably be right. Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #37 wraps up the team up arc with Aquaman, and it…
With Batman, Superman, and Robin in Atlantis trying to fix the crisis that has developed, the story has really separated into three distinct plots. They're all connected by a main thread, but each goes off in their own direction. There's the battle with Woodrue as he tries to take over all plants in Atlantis, the…
The first major crossover of DC's All In initiative is coming this April in a six-part story titled "We Are Yesterday". Writer Mark Waid will be joined by multiple writers and artists as the event spans Batman/Superman: World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited. It will feature a time-spanning adventure starring some of DC's most infamous villains,…
Action. Adventure. Mystery. Intrigue. These are the ingredients for a successful comic, and luckily, this new arc promises plenty of each. One of the biggest appeals of this series from the beginning has been the "back to basics" approach Mark Waid took, focusing on straightforward superhero adventures as opposed to the continuity-laden mega plots of…
These intermission issues are very often my favorite stories in World's Finest. To this day my personal highlight of the run would have to be issue #12 where Robin and Supergirl go on a date that goes horribly. The reason they work so well (when they do) is that they allow for a breather from…
Batman/Superman: World's Finest closes out another story arc, and it's sad to say that it's starting to feel a bit tired as it approaches three years. The underlying appeal is still there, Batman and Superman are still going on fun adventures together, but a number of the same problems keep showing up and becoming more…
Hey everybody!!! With Jackson off to NYCC to bring us some spicy gossip on the happenings in the comic book entertainment world, I decided to step in for this issue. Not that I needed much convincing as we get to see a past version of my favorite superhero team and I get a chance to…
