Theres two wild cliffhangers as Waid shows Batman and Superman are at their best when theyre challenged by credible opponents. The big reveal this issue shows how adept Waid and Mora are in establishing major threats to the Worlds Finest. Read Full Review
Run, do not walk, to read World's Finest. Read Full Review
I mean, I have gushed enough. This book feels classic and new. That isn't easy. It looks gorgeous. Mora is hitting it out of the park. Everyone should be reading this book. Everyone. Read Full Review
This book fires on all cylinders. From the excellent character work to the adventure and the mystery, this is a book that anyone that's into superhero comics could enjoy. And even if you're not necessarily into superheroes, or if you're on the verge of giving up on them, this gem of a comic book series is a master class example of how this kind of stuff should be executed. If you're only going to get one superhero book this month, make sure it's this one. All the other books pale by comparison, anyway. Read Full Review
Thanks to the perfect mix of innovative storytelling and strong art, 'Batman/Superman: World's Finest' #14 is another excellent entry in the series. Read Full Review
Batman / Superman: World's Finest #14 takes a few pages to get going, but once the clues and action kick in, Waid and Mora prove they are the World's Finest DC comics creators around. The sheer volume of character cameos (some not seen in years) is astounding, the action is fun, and the mystery reveal promises a much bigger story on the horizon. Read Full Review
It's no surprise that Waid is leaning heavily on classic villains here, and it's easy to see why this run is so well-regarded that it's getting a spin-off in a few months. Read Full Review
Dan Mora continues to deliver blisteringly beautiful visuals throughout the issue. The character designs are beautiful and the action is thrilling in every page and panel. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #14 continues with an arc that really does feel like a bridge between the lightheartedness of the silver age to now. Waids writing does all of the characters justice while the art brings everything up a notch. If you have been waiting for a good chance to jump in, now is a perfect time. Read Full Review
As a throwback to the style of Silver Age comics, World's Finest is undoubtedly one of the most consistently great titles coming out from DC today. Read Full Review
It's still very good, but not as well executed as previous issues. Read Full Review
Once things are really going, the novelty is going to wear off. Bruce Wayne has been accused of murder, and there is something uniquely interesting about that. Its not going to last too much longer, though. Things will begin to turn a corner as Waids story reaches its climax. If everything has been lined up right, it just might be some kind of satisfying end, but its difficult to tell, and it already feels as though the action in the foreground might overpower everything else once the story reaches its big conclusion.

It's a pretty busy issue with not much time to breathe. That said, the story moves fairly well with our four heroes reunited looking for Stagg and Ivo ending on a cliffhanger. Read Full Review
In a series as consistently engaging and wonderful as this one, there are bound to be a few duds. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #14 is that slow, boring dud. Read Full Review
Easily the best book DC produces month in and month out! Let’s bring on Shazam!
"Try HAVING A JOB sometime." One of the best lines I have ever read only reinforced by Superman saying it to Batman only for him to come back with, "...I swear, that man would believe a HAM SANDWICH..." Even if you take out the rest of this story the first 6 pages are perfect. How Waid is able to pull from all of this backlog of characters and seamlessly integrate it all into one story is amazing. He really understands each of these characters that he pulls from and the sandbox he has to work with. I'm glad he's back.
Thrilling and beautiful as always. Waid and Mora manage to squeeze a lot into this issue. I hope this series continues forever.
Still one of the best comics that are ongoing right now.

Waid's ability to produce a fun mystery steeped in as much minor character lore as possible is second to none at the Big Two right now. He's able to cohesively tie so many different parts of the DC Universe together in a way that no other DC writer is doing right now. When paired with Mora's expressive characters and Bonvillain's bold colors you've got one hell of a book.
I really enjoyed this issue. Though, the twist about the robots replacing humans made my eyes roll. Do they really have the technology to make an identical duplicate? Did they not do an autopsy on Stagg since he was a murder victim? Autopsies always include an examination of the brain, so there's a major plot hole there. Discounting that, there was a lot of energy in this issue and it was good to see Bruce Wayne play a role outside of Batman. Superman stopping Metamorpho and the small fight with the robots was also good. Pretty happy about how the ending was set up and executed. Looking forward to the next issue.
solid issue right here. Good art, action, and dialogue.
