What, of all things, could tie the Riddler and the Phantom Zone together--and what secrets will the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel learn about one another that will define their friendship?

This title just doesn't have off months and is about as consistently a great read as I'd hope for with each issue. Next month, the team travels to the world of Kingdom Come, which sounds very appealing. Read Full Review

Waids excellent writing is brought to life with Moore and Bonvillians art to present the catching throwback tale for the modern audience. This is Superhero comics at its finest.worlds finest.

I noticed that this was a much more intense version of the first Batman/Superman meeting than we usually seein the past, they spent their first team-up fighting Magpie, not a deranged Kryptonian terrorist. But it does a very good job at exploring how the trust between these two formed so quickly. Read Full Review
Moore delivers great art throughout the issue. I love the beautifully detailed panels and pages as well as the visual Easter eggs in places like the fortress of solitude. Read Full Review
Batman/ Superman: Worlds Finest #19 is a vintage trip into the past of two icons within the DC Comic Universe. It retroactively concludes their first meeting in a fun, almost lighthearted way that resembles a nice, classic comic book feel. Sure, everything gets wrapped up rather quickly, easily, and matter-of-fact, but it still conveyed an entertaining nostalgic vibe thanks to the entire creative team. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #19 concludes Jax-Ur's escape from the Phantom Zone with plenty of high-flying heroics, clever twists, and cool art. That said, retelling (again) Superman and Batman's first meeting felt like a quick excuse to set up a deep-cut villain, prepping to make a splash later in the year. Read Full Review
A callback to Aethyr! I love it. So this was a fun little issue. This felt like classic entertainment. Things happen a little easily. The villains do stupid things. The heroes quickly figure out an answer. But it was fun. I loved seeing these rookie heroes trying their best and realizing they can learn from each other. Read Full Review
As the story 'Phantom Zones' ends, readers get a final clear answer on how the World's Finest became partners. Read Full Review
The conclusion of the latest flashback arc feels like the series' weakest to date, but that doesn't stop it from still being one of the best books that DC Comics is printing in the superhero world today. Read Full Review
A solid issue, but not a standout. Read Full Review
: This is a very fun comic, albeit a bit of a standard approach to superheroes. I like how, in the end, Waid somewhat subverts the trope of "solving everything with a good punch and has Batman and Superman come up with a plan to defeat Jax-Ur, but since most of this issue gives us a lengthy brawl, that solution doesn't pay off like it should. That said, it's great seeing our heroes bond through this experience, earning each other's trust, and the artwork is excellent. All things considered, I definitely recommend this comic.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #19 has a few moments of excitement, but overall, it's a flat fill-in story that rests in the shadows of an otherwise impeccable run. Read Full Review
This was a good issue but its problem is that is treads in an area that has been done so many times before. Like this isnt bad at all, probably one of the better (but not the best), telling of their team up.
Art is great as always.
One thing I like about Waid's run here is the little additions of planting the seeds of villains for the future. So the fact that this ties into a future issue of Action Comics is nice. Gives it a bit of a unique feel and touch.
Overall I enjoyed it, but I am glad this mini-filler story is over and we can get onto more very promising things.
This issue has been the weakest of the series, and it’s still excellent. It’s a blast to read, though the payoff was a tad bit underwhelming. Still, a fun time with solid art, plus a surprise tease that I was not expecting.
Filler
With how high quality this series has been, this was a bit of a disappointment. Still good, just probably my least favorite issue as of late.
