The grand finale to Impossible is here, and it...well, it is as insane as you think it would be. First of all, we've got this big DOOM-MITE guy over here, check him out...he's about to eat Batman and Superman! What would that even taste like? Let's hope our heroes never let him find out, as the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight save the fifth dimension from IMPLOSION or die trying!

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Jul 17, 2024

    Batman/Superman Worlds Finest #29 is a magical finale to what has been a magically fun story, and that is meant literally. Coming in a close with Return to Kingdome Come, Impossible is one of the best and must-read arcs in Mark Waids and Dan Moras Eisner-snubbed series. Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Jul 19, 2024

    World's Finest has a ton of heart and the finale of this arc was perfect. It was good enough that it even had Batman cracking up. This title is masterful and continues to be DC's shining, can't miss light every month. Read Full Review

    Waid and Mora bring the latest storyline featuring Mxyzptlk and Batmite to an end, once again showing that the comic has earned its place as the top title in DC's superhero roster. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Jul 17, 2024

    Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #29 is a solid end to this arc that sticks the landing. It seems that Mora and Bonvillain will not be on the book for the foreseeable future, so this also reads as an excellent sendoff for the two artists. Their work has been nothing short of outstanding thus far but this issue easily is a 10 out of 10 for art and coloring. With a new arc on the way with a new artist, there is a lot to look forward to. The end of this issue hints at Wonder Woman appearing in the next arc, and one cant go wrong with Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman written by Mark Waid. Read Full Review

    This issue brings the epic imp battle to a close, as the powerful Doom-Mite has descended on Earth, defeated an all-powerful Jimmy Olsen, and successfully turned Batman into a puppet. Waid and Mora have done an excellent job of taking these inherently hilarious characters and showing just how dangerous they would be untethered from any sense of morality something also done very well in the "Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow and "Emperor Joker stories.

    AIPT - Piper Whitaker Jul 17, 2024

    As Dan Mora retires from the series, Waid and Mora successfully stick the landing on an overall fun and crazy arc. It will be interesting to see where the book will go with Mora's absence and what Waid will focus on next. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - Dispatchdcu Jul 17, 2024

    Overall, Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #29 is a visually impressive comic that delivers a nostalgic look at Earth-2's Batman and Superman. However, the lack of connection to the ongoing storyline and the slow pacing might leave some readers disappointed. Diehard fans of Earth-2 continuity and Silver Age comic aesthetics might enjoy this issue. However, for readers following the main World's Finest storyline or those seeking a more action-packed adventure may struggle with this weeks story. I recommend jumping back a few issues if you are just joining the story. Nevertheless, this zany, demonstrative tale is certainly unique and with checking out. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Bryant Lucas Jul 18, 2024

    World's Finest #29 is a wacky and bizarre ending to a fun story arc. Despite its randomness, Mark Waid's story was fun. The tone was light and buoyant: a nice shift in tone after his Kingdom Come sequel. Dan Mora's work was as to be expected: pristine. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Jul 26, 2024

    So there was a ton of fun in this issue with the usual crisp, perfect art. But the defeat of Doom-Mite, hinted at for issues, just seemed like Waid writing himself out of the predicament he put himself in.  Love this book and this team. Sad to see them broken up in the future. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Jul 17, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #29 is a beautifully drawn finale to the “Impossible” arc that narratively feels more like a wrap-up than a climax. Its obligatory big fight against the bad guy is filled with all the spectacle Dan Mora consistently delivers, but the resolution to that conflict ironically feels too mundane, despite the half-a-dozen or so magic users involved. Nonetheless, it's still the fun time one would expect from the title. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jul 17, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #29 ends the arc with fast-paced fun, action, adventure, and excitement. Dan Mora's artwork and Mark Waid's script wrap the adventure up with a pleasant mix of heart and fun. That said, Waid takes a few shortcuts to the finish line that are a little too big to ignore.
