    Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #30 takes on the interesting challenge of depicting the first adventure of the Trinity. With so many actual years of history with these characters, it is a nearly impossible task to please everyone, but Waid and company do an excellent job. This issue packs in the elements that readers expect out of the Trinity without overreaching. In the end, this is a fun one-off adventure that doesnt rewrite history or change continuity. Fans of this series will have a blast with this issue and wish it was stretched out to two or more issues just so they can spend some more time with the Trinity. Read Full Review

    There are some surprisingly big villains in this issue one obscure but very interesting Wonder Woman villain, and another with a key link to him who I don't think we've seen before. Read Full Review

    The beginnings of DCs true Trinity shine bright in an incredible vintage tale. Waids writing features the budding teamwork and trust through fire. Melnikov, Bonvillain and Sharpe orchestrate a timeless story which re-enforces the impact when all three heroes working together. Its Superhero storytelling at its (worlds) finest for a reason.

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Aug 23, 2024

    This was a pretty basic standalone story that's not connected to a wider story arc. Sometimes those are necessary as a breather before embarking on the next major story. Even with Mora gone, World's Finest is still well worth picking up as evidenced by another quality issue. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Aug 21, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #30 is a wonderful telling of the DC trinity's first time teaming up together. Its single-issue length is filled with mystery and action as Gleb Melnikov's art brings the story to life. The addition of Wonder Woman makes for a thrilling adventure on the fantastical island of Themyscira, and shows why the three have earned their status as the pillars of DC Comics. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Aug 21, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #30 is another winning issue in a sea of DC mediocrity. Mark Waid's interpretation of the first adventure of the Holy Trinity highlights the strengths of each character and serves as a great humping-on point for new readers who know nothing about Wonder Woman's home. Plus, Gleb Melnikov's artwork is stellar. The issue feels a bit rushed towards the end, but it's a solid pick overall. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Bryant Lucas Aug 28, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #30 is a fine issue, but it's nothing to write home about. Waid's script is quick-paced and enjoyable, but it doesn't have enough room to fully develop. Melnikov's art is well, odd. It's not that it strays too far from the typical superhero comic book style; it's just so eclectic that it feels undefined. It's definitely a step down from Dan Mora's work. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Aug 21, 2024

    After the sprint, its time for the cool down and thats what Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #30 delivers. Its a major improvement from the last one-shot we had, which had the problem of having too many pages for what it was. This one may feel like it has too few pages for what it is. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Piper Whitaker Aug 21, 2024

    Overall, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #30 is a fun but flawed issue. Mark Waid hit a few roadblocks in his script but managed to deliver an entertaining story with some cute moments and beautiful art from Gleb Melnikov. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Aug 24, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #30 is a quick one-shot that tries to cram a murder mystery in a story that's really about the first time Robin met Wonder Woman. It's neither great nor bad, making for a colorful filler issue. Read Full Review
