The Dark Knight. The Man of Steel. They are the two finest superheroes that the world has ever known...and they're together again in an epic new series from the legendary talents of Mark Waid and Dan Mora! In the not-too-distant past, Superman's powers are super-charged from a devastating chemical attack by the villain Metallo...and the only ally that the ultra-powerful Man of Tomorrow can turn to in this turbulent hour is Gotham's own dark vengeance: the Batman. A nearly fatal burst of power drives Bruce Wayne to his own extreme measures to help his friend...enlisting none other than the Doom Patrol for aid. It's the world's greatest superhe more
Sometimes I get a little jaded with modern books, but then a book like this comes along and reignites the love affair all over again. Comics as they should be. Read Full Review
The original summer blockbuster of comics is back with a fantastic lineup, an all-time great creative team and iconic heroes. On top of that, we get some bonus appearances from other heroes in the DCU. Here is a comic that lives up to its name! Read Full Review
DC needs more titles like this, and I'm already hyped for next month's installment. Read Full Review
I have gushed enough. The whole book rolls out stupendously. The flashback showing the World's Finest history. The action. The Easter Eggs. Robin's quips. The classic Doom Patrol. And the dramatic art. I loved this book. Read Full Review
Comics greatest superheroes have been paired with a super creative team.In Worlds Finest Mark Waid and Dan Mora are creating what's sure to become a classic! Read Full Review
Featuring a massively fun script from Mark Waid and phenomenal art from Dan Mora, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1 is an absolute home run of a Superhero comic. Read Full Review
Mark Waid delivers a fantastic first issue. I'm always up for seeing Superman get savagely beaten up. But for me, it is the addition of The Doom Patrol that really makes this book. Waid makes brilliant use of Negative Man's powers in order to help Batman contain an out-of-control Superman. I can't wait to see what happens in the next issue. Read Full Review
This is very much a weird DC comic at its best, embracing the Silver Age genre elements while giving them a modern twist. Read Full Review
A great story that could have been better if it wasn't so preoccupied with the past. The art in this absolutely can't be missed. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest is an absolute smorgasbord of all things DC Comics and works as a stellar introduction to a series that certainly isn't original in concept but goes the extra mile in building a story that fires on all cylinders through the strengths of these two legendary heroes and the worlds they call home.

I'm still not totally sold on team-up comics but Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1 is a hell of a start. The comic just nails things in every way. There's something really fun about it, the perfect comic to just lay back and lose some time reading. Fun writing and beautiful visuals come together for a fantastic beginning. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest is a great first issue. Waid and Mora help set the stage for the upcoming DCU event while still including underappreciated and used characters. The only downside to the issue is that it is another Batman/Superman story and will need to fight for attention amongst their other ongoing series and titles. Read Full Review
BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST #1 is cluttered with action, special guests, and dialogue that fits the Silver Age motif which well represents these classic heroes. Moreover, Mora's updated renderings of these paradigmatic heroes, alongside Bonvillain's eye-popping colors and Bidihar's explosive lettering, take these cult favorites to another level. BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST #1 has all the makings of a comic that marries the Modern and Silver Age together masterfully giving Parents (and now even Grandparents) something special to connect to with their kids.

What we have is 32 pages of distilled nostalgia transmuted into a giant love letter for the world's greatest heroes. Read Full Review
Worlds Finest #1 is a gorgeous title that trades in the grit for some much-needed fun, setting itself apart and above in the process. Read Full Review
This is a very fun comic! There's a lot going onperhaps a bit too muchbut the character work, plot and art is all very solid, with Mora and Bonvillain stealing the show. Mainly, I'm just glad that Batman and Superman are friends and have each other's back. That is how it should be. Highly recommended! Read Full Review
Fun artwork and an intriguing story lead to a highly entertaining first issue. Read Full Review
If you are a fan of either Batman or Superman than you should not miss out on Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1. Waid and Mora are on a mission to deliver a fun Batman and Superman team-up story. If this first issue is any indication of the quality they will hit than they will absolutely be successful in what they are setting out to do with Batman/Superman: World's Finest. Read Full Review
The comic goes off in multiple directions here with a separate team-up between the Man of Steel and the Dynamic Duo and also the addition of the Doom Patrol to help with an out-of-control Superman. There are some aspects of the story I enjoy, including character designs and Dan Mora's art, although once Superman gets infected (which seems to be where the comic's main storyline will be focused going forward) things bog down a bit. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1 leaves me feeling a bit cold. Waid stuffs in too much too fast, with most of the top villains showing up in one form or another. Much like eating a whole box of Twinkies, you feel like you ate a lot, but it wasn't particularly healthy or satisfying. That said, the art is phenomenal, and DC couldn't have assembled a better art team. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1 is a colorful throwback to another era, but it's modern enough to keep readers excited and turning the page. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #1 isn't going to shake up the landscape of comics, but it isn't trying to. Sometimes, kids, superheroes should be allowed to just be superheroes. Whether that works for all readers is up to the individual's tastes, but beating it up for whatever it isn't is beside the point. Read Full Review
oh my god? maybe some of the best artwork i've seen in a comic it's so visually stunning.the writing is also AMAZING and the way they've layouted the panels is so well done, nd this whole comic gives off classic 80s comic. esp tiny details like batman nd supermans logos at the start!! so fun. nd some of the panels were really tense nd scary. i also think they handeled the characters great and i love the interpretations of both clark and bruce!!
Absolutely stunning.
A comic fan's comic. No nonsense, action packed, the start of a great run?
Having Mark Waid writing a DC book again is already a sight for sore eyes, and on top of that you have Dan Mora penciling? what a pairing. And this issue was everything that i was expecting, it's fun, it has great art, an simple but very effective plot, and everyone is just extremely well written, a killer issue, welcome back to DC Waid.
Damn near perfect book. The best part there isn't any virtue signaling or far left idealism/ politicization in the story. Hopefully it will stay this way.
Everything I'd hoped for and then some! Just a big, juicy slab of old-school superheroic joy. Tamra Bonvillain delivers her usual gorgeous colors, Mark Waid is on top of his game (has there ever been a more quintessentially Mark Waid moment in comics than the Weaponeers of Qward being invoked for an "It tickles!" reference?), but the real star is Dan Mora who manages to surpass even his own usual high standards. Just a joy from cover to cover
It’s a perfect comic and a concept I have long since thought would thrive (revisiting DC’s Silver Age).
Aww, hell. Gives me hope that comics can still be good.
Love the most negative critic review that actually makes the case why this comic is so good: “Well, kids, sometimes a good superhero story can be a good superhero story despite the comic not force-feeding you woke ideology.”
Let’s not kid ourselves about Waid. He is who he is, he thinks what he thinks, but when he can get out of his own damn way, he is a great writer. Kingdom Come, Flash, his first Cap run and Birthright were all great. So was Irredeemable. So was this.
And how about Dan Mora? Finally they gave him an assignment that isn’t shit. Hope one day they can do the same for Ivan Reis.
I regret reading this first this week. Th more
It was everything I expected!
Reminds me of a Bob Haney story or maybe Superman vs. Spider-man (the first one). Lots of action, guest stars, everything happens fast. Comics really were more fun in the 1970s. If all the DCs were more like this one, I'd be buying several every week. The art was great, although there was one panel where Superman smashes into something iconic and I couldn't quite figure out what was going on.
This was cool af
What a surprise this book was. I LOVED it. Great story, great art. I can't wait for more.
Yes. Yes. YEEEEEEEEES. This book is amazing in every way, Dan Mora's art is fantastic. Mark Waid is one of the greatest comic writers of all time, its incredible how he has been consistent for over 30 years, his voice for Batman and Superman is just excellent, but his Dick Grayson is beyond that, its impossible not to give a 10/10
This is as good as superhero comics get absolutely perfect , I’d give it an 11 if I could
This book is just great. Gives me the same excitement and joy from reading Waid's Flash. This, like his Flash is a must read. Robin's voice is perfect and really elevated the vibe for me. Dan Mora is one of the best artists in the industry right now and I'm so happy to have him on this book.
World’s Finnest 1
Escrito por Mark Waid e ilustrado por el héroe nacional Dan mora nos traen una historia por fuera de la línea cronológica principal, de probablemente de los héroes mas importantes para la cultura geek en general
Lo bueno
El comic empieza con un altercado en Metropolis por parte de posion Ivy y traes ser rastreada por Batman y un Nightwing en su etapa de robin se llegan a topar con Clark para acabar con el peligro, las escenas de acción ilustradas por Mora con una maravilla y desde este primer issue nos dan escenas icónicas de como el duo Worlds Finnest combaten el mal, con una narrativa rápida que no aburre y expresiones muy características por parte de los dos héroes principales de esta h more
This was such an enjoyable read from start to finish. Seeing Metallo and Ivy team-up was such a sight to see - I can't wait to see the two characters that had hired them both.
Amazing start. Perfect coupling of writer and artist. The simple, fast paced story matches wonderfully with the clear and dynamic lines. I first look through the whole book as I usually do (at the risk of being spoiled, I don't care) and couldn't believe the art, the colors and most of all: the amount of distinctable characters. I was suspicious of how this story was going to connect the dots. If it was going to be one of those disjointed tales I'm disgruntledly growing accustomed to. But that was definitely not the case, of course. So I'm eager for the next issue. And for Dan Mora's carreer.
This issue is great, it deserves all the praise it gets. It took everything great about the silver age with the characterization and the plot and added a modern spin on it. It's nice to nice to Batman so caring, calm, somewhat hopeful and concerned about his friend, trying to do everything he can think of to save him from his worst nightmare. He is not cracking jokes or anything, he is still serious, but he does not seem drowned in darkness, anger and sadness. This is such a great characterization. Superman although, I feel was in the issue less, was also great. Doing the job with a smile and enjoyment. The whole issue is about them helping in each other in a time of need. As Supes helped Bats in past with the Penguin, now it's Batman's tur more
I'm a year late on this, but this is fun.
Very enjoyable read. It felt fast and like a superhero book
Definitely getting your money's worth
While some of the dialogue is a little rough at times, that's more than overshadowed by the fun tone this issue has going for it. Plus the art is very nice. I really enjoyed how Bruce and Clark interacted in this issue. It felt natural and as though they're really friends, as opposed to the usual fare where we're told they're friends and we never really believe it. Also, the Doom Patrol is always a plus. I really missed them after that abysmal Young Animal run. Cliff even gets fucked up for old times' sake.
World's Finest is off to a really fun, exciting start. Mora always brings it in the art department and the bright, bold colors from Bonvillain were sublime. It really added to the Silver Age charm that Mark Waid brought to the table. I'm pumped for the 2nd issue and would like to see more of this type of thing throughout the DC line in both tone and color.
Well, this is a very fun comic. A slap of Silver Age craziness with a dash of modern scripting that brings the best out of an artist who knows how to dazzle and bring anything in your imagination to life. It's silly and goofy, but has real tension and stake.
Really enjoyed this issue. It has great art and great writing.
Robin: "No! No coin-flipping. Coin-flipping bad!" HAHAHAHAHAA
wow this was great! also wow i really have grown to love the yellow and black bat symbol lol
I just reread this one since I bought a signed copy. What it has going for it is that it feels like a book out of the 80s or 90s. The characters seem more pure and not as jaded as they do in current books. I like when writers go back to the character's roots. Geoff Johns did that with Aquaman in rebirth and I'm waiting for that happen again.
A blockbuster comic! Waid doesn't disappoint throwing us right into the action. We can follow the story because he writes these characters in the broad strokes we are used to, the characterization is on point. Also, lovely seeing DOOM PATROL, it makes me really happy.
Silver Age fun; no brainer camp story with some great art. Waid easing back into the DCU is seamless, his voices for the characters are spot on, and the plot seems like a lot of fun. Looking at the mention of the timeframe [years before the attack] as well as the shadow of Magog, I wonder if this is a stealth prequel to the Kingdom Come Universe? Probably not, but that would be interesting to see him revisit the property.
It’s just fun.
a big dumb fun comic with pretty art.
not really much else to say.
I don’t think it quite lived up to all the hype but it was still a very good comic written by an author who knows how to tell fun stories. Kingdom Come was one of the best comic stories of all time, loved Waid’s run in Daredevil, and I look forward to seeing what he’ll do here
Solid issue. The writing was a little messy but the art carried
Sadly it feels like empty calories. The characters are written like cardboard cutout versions of themselves and the lot isn't really engaging.
What happened to Merlyn?
