That said, seeing Superman vs. Superman and Batman vs. Batman was great. And that Mora art. Just brilliant. Read Full Review
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
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
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
This was an exciting issue. Thunderman is a complete dick, but I am enjoying the hero interactions and fight scenes. Dan Mora does a great job of making the action dynanmic. The last two-page spread is awesome and I'm looking foward to seeing where the story goes. Another great issue from Mark Waid.

solid action art and story
Ok so this had some really great fights. While that was most of the issue, it was great to see each of them fight their counterparts. I also enjoy the mystery of what is going on here. Why is Thunder Man isolating this world from the multiforce. Also that ending... what in the world/why were all the heroes... teaming up in an almost cult like manner? I need answers!
I am a little disappointed in the decompressed story telling in the last two issues, as I’ve grown used to Waid fitting an incredible amount of story into a single issue. I would have liked more story instead of the extended fight scene of this issue. I’m also a little torn on the new additions to the Kingdom Come universe.
That being said, I don’t think it’s fair for me to judge this on what I want it to be—rather, I have to judge it based on what it is. Mora’s art never fails to impress, and Waid has some great set pieces here. He also has a great voice for the Batman and Superman of both universes, with both sets being clearly distinct, but still recognizable as the same characters.
This is really good, more
I think Waid0s writing is fine. Effective, well-paced without losing sight at characterization. However, I ahve to admit I'm not the biggest fan of how he's revising Kingodm Come at the moment, and I also think David has lost something in the transition from Boy Thudenr to the much more overtly evil Thunderman.
