    Waid isn't the only writer to work on this world and its characters. Geoff Johns played a key role as welland one of the key elements of his run is about to return in a big way. Superman and Batman aren't just up against their doppelgangersthey're up against a dark God, and it's one that doesn't intend to let them come home. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Piper Whitaker Nov 21, 2023

    All together, Waid, Mora, and Bonvillan are telling an interesting story full of twists and turns. However, it is weighted down by the lack of downtime needed for these characters. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Nov 29, 2023

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #21 is heavy on the eye-candy action sequences and light on the story. It's still one of the better books on the shelves, but one yearns for a bit more world-building or character exploration. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Casper Rudolph Nov 21, 2023

    It's a pretty good comic, but I would have liked it if there was less emphasis on hero versus hero combat and more emphasis on the mystery surrounding Thunderman. That said, the art remains absolutely fantastic and the fight scenes are an incredible spectacle. Waid also writes strong characters with clear motivations and voices, which makes this more than a mere fight comic. Recommended! Read Full Review
