This series has been excellent!
The secret behind the Supergirl-Robin feud, revealed! On a day not too long ago, a meeting between the Boy Wonder and the Girl of Steel began sweetly, became awkward, and ended so catastrophically, horrifically, jaw-droppingly, car-crashingly disastrously that, among the Superman and Batman families, it is now enshrined as the world’s finest example of How Not to Team Up!
Even in a "slow issue, Batman Superman WF proves to be one of the books you just don't want to miss any month. Read Full Review
Perfect from start to finish. Read Full Review
Waid is joined by artist Emanuela Lupacchino for this latest issue, which departs from the "Boy Thunder" arc and gives us a hilarious outing that is definitely one of the best issues to date. Considering the heights that the series has hit over its run, that's really saying something and World's Finest remains a must read. Read Full Review
Supergirl and Robin might make a really good team for Worlds Finest. Batman and Superman have had it together for so long that its nice to see a relatively untested pair in the center of the panel. An awkward date between superheroes is a nice outlet for that. As obvious a comic premise as it is, its not one that makes it between the covers all that often. Waid and Lupacchino have nailed a perfect little sitcom in a very fun one-shot story. Read Full Review
I had a blast reading Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #12. Though it isnt essential to the main story of the series, I would say it is a must-read for readers. It is packed with gorgeous art and plenty of action and laughs. Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #12 is easily one of my favorite issues of the series so far. Read Full Review
Lots of fun here, including some back-and-forth between the Dynamic Duo to close out the issue. Read Full Review
Batman / Superman: World's Finest #12 breaks from world-ending events and lethal villains for a lighthearted and thoroughly amusing comedy of errors. Waid's gift for awkward comedy is on full display, and the guest art team's execution reasonably matches Dan Mora's immaculate style. Read Full Review
This title has been useful for setting up the new DCU continuity, which puts Supergirl back in her original place as the first Super-sidekick and makes her a bit of a peer to Dick Grayson. As the same generation, they also have a meet cute and briefly consider datingonly for it to go horribly wrong. Read Full Review
Lupacchino delivers some beautifully detailed art that perfectly complements the style and tone of the story. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #12 is a hilarious interlude that reminds us dating is hard for everyone, including heroes! Mark Waid and Tamra Bonvillain team with Emanuela Lupacchino to craft a mismatch made in hell as we finally discover the reason behind the cold shoulders of Robin and Supergirl. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #12 is a fun one-shot where Robin and Supergirl attempt (and fail) to go on a date. It's colorful, silly, and enjoyable. Read Full Review
In a world where mainstream Batman is always sad and the Big Two can't stop turning a blind eye to customers' event fatigue, this issue is a breath of fresh air. It's awkward and funny and well-drawn, and anyone can pick up this issue without having had to read previous comics in order to enjoy it. I recommend this comic to everyone who's looking for some awkward comedy in their monthly rotation, or people who are big fans of either Supergirl or Robin. Enjoy! Read Full Review
It's so rare to read a DC comic that you could, without any hesitation, call fun. This comic really shines, you guys.
This series has run for 12 consecutive issues and has been a blast to read. Hopefully Waid stays on this book!
Completely unnecessary issue.......and I LOVED it! This is how you do filler right. I will probably pull this issue out and re-read it many times through the years. Yup, 4mil mylar archival storage for this issue just because it deserves it! My other comics will be super jelly. ;)
Even without Dan Mora this issue continues to be one of the best things in comics today. Everything just flows so nicely. Yes this may be “filler” and the action is sparse, but the dynamics between Dick and Kara, Dick and Bruce, Kara and Kal are just, god they are so good. I felt second-hand embarrassment for Dick in this one. Mark Waid continues to write his best work in years. 12 issues in and this is still a can’t miss book.
This was amazing.
Waid might have had more fun writing this issue than I did reading it. Which is really saying something because I had a blast reading it.
Delightful, and a handy reminder that Dan Mora's not the only thing to like about this book. Given the many comic book relationships that have little substance or cause beyond the writer pairing characters off, I'm always a fan of superheroes going on dates and realizing they're completely wrong for one another, and Waid & Lupacchino do it with charm, wit and tender insight. Probably my favorite issue of the series so far
This hurt to read. Not because it was bad but because of how real and relatable it is. It's unbelievably frustrating to see Dick be so distracted with himself and not notice Kara or anything she is saying. But we've been there. On both sides of the table. It's great, heartbreaking and cringey.
Charming palette cleanser between arcs, and I am really starting to think Waid gets Dick Grayson better than Tom Taylor.
fun, but without Mora it's not so good
A miss for me. So far, World’s Finest has felt like a Saturday morning cartoon but this flashback feels like a Sit-Com with too many fake laugh-tracks.
The beginning was fine and the awkwardness was great, but then characterization got betrayed for the same old boy-meets-girl tropes. Some stuff also didn’t seem thought through in a way that to me looks like Waid forced himself to write one thing because it is the trope and then tried to back-paddle.
The way death was talked about in this issue was weird and not in a funny way.
I wasn't extremely happy with this issue. I don't think Dick or Kara acted like in previous iterations. They went to dinner in their costumes, which was not something Dick would do. He's not an idiot and he would have planned out dinner to the Nth degree. Even his younger version was a planner, here he just came off as a schmuck for a laugh. If anything, he would have over-planned it, which would also have been funny and kept with his character. Do you think he became the leader of the Teen Titans by acting like this? Kara openly says that she didn't like herself around him. Who says that about Dick (no pun intended)? Not a good issue when compared to the others.
Not a bad issue but then again not a good issue. At best a filler issue that will end up in the dollar bin in some flea market.
