  This is the best issue of The Four Horsemen, but I cannot give it that much higher of a return. The Four Horsemen was advertised as a one-shot. That made sense. If Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman join forces practically nothing can stop them. I doubt even Cthulhu, the most heinous creature from literature, could do much more than make their victory an exhausting one. The Four Horsemen aren't anywhere near the glimmer of Cthulhu's level. In terms of threat, the Four Horsemen make Ali Babble more formidable. It's difficult however to feel any kind of emotion regarding their supposed capabilities since they're menacing characters who are two-dimensional whiners and/or thoroughly unlikeable, stupid and far from innocent.
