ECLIPSO'S REIGN OF TERROR RAGES ON! Even the combined might of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight Detective cannot overcome the reincarnation of the literal wrath of God...sounds like our heroes are going to need some reinforcements. It's the World's Finest debut of the Justice League as night falls on the DCU!
This is yet another visually stunning addition in DC lore, boasting an action packed team up narrative that hardly misses a beat and brings out the best in its creatives. Read Full Review
Colorist Tamra Bonvillain and letterer Steve Wands seem to have even more creative opportunities to explore with Gutierrez's boundless art style. It all makes for a letdown-less installment of one of comic's best reads. Read Full Review
Eclipsos reign of chaos continues as more heroes enter the fray. Waids writing keeps readers on edge with suspense. Its equally matched with the phenomenal work of Gutirrez (along with Bonvillain and Wands). The imagery shuffles up the exciting battles with the overall sense of trickery. Judging by the last page, expect more shock ad awe before this tale concludes. Read Full Review
Overall, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #32 is a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the current storyline. It's a must-read for fans of the iconic Trinity and those who enjoy epic superhero adventures with a thrilling conclusion thats just fantastic! Read Full Review
You get two whole super teams for the price of a team-up in Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #32 in the battle against Eclipso. Batman and Superman havent been in unwillingly antagonist roles in this series yet and who better to get them back than DCs original team the Justice Society? Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #32 shows that the series hasnt lost its steam and Waid still has a bunch of great ideas. Between the Justice League and Justice Society taking on Eclipso to the Spectre making a surprise and terrifying appearance, this issue has something for everyone. Waid does such an incredible job juggling so many characters so readers are getting the moments they expect but also some fantastic surprises. With such solid writing, it leaves a lot of room for the artists and letterer to deliver some fantastic fun. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #32 is another in a long line of simply good issues. World's Finest isn't breaking new ground. It may not be the most thought-provoking title on the market right now. But it's a ton of fun. The tone and tenor of its storytelling is just fantastic, and sometimes, that's all anyone can ask of a comic book. Read Full Review
Didn't that seem too easy? I don't quite know if I understand it all. This was still a fun issue. I like the side missions. I really like Gutierrez's art. And a cackling Eclipso. It works. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #32 feels slightly rushed as it nears the conclusion of the ‘Shadows Fall' storyline. Adrin Gutirrez provides a dynamic feel to the comic, and Mark Waid matches that with his storytelling and also sticks to the cartoonish style that Dan Mora brought to the series. Will #33 make up for middling second act? Read Full Review
I wanted to like this more than I did, but I just couldn't bring myself to leap past the plot holes. And once you fall into one of them, well it's hard to stop falling. The characters take actions that seem convenient for the story to happen and any hero not named Superman, Batman, or Robin feels replaceable. Read Full Review
Batman / Superman: World's Finest #32 is a disappointing filler issue in an arc that started on rocky ground to begin with. New twists are resolved almost as quickly as they're introduced, leaving this colorful and artistically fun book feeling hollow from a story perspective. Read Full Review
honestly solid and fun issue. Adrian Gutierrez is a great replacement for Dan Mora
Had some strong points, like giving batman PTSD (I say that jokingly they did something like that...), but also some weaker parts like throwing Superman into the Sun (felt like Eclipso could have just turned around/avoided it if he wanted to keep controlling Superman), and the art once again has some really weird facial features for some of the characters making their emotions kind of odd.
That being said, the insane laughing face of Exlipso is kind of chilling, so that was cool.
Good story, but with some odd writing and questionable art panels, it isnt the strongest.
I'm not as impressed with this story as I was with many of the others. I know that Waid is dividing his time, but I may drop this to try Justice League. This seems like a regurgitation of other stories.

Mark, if you are reading this (as I once heard you say you do):
1) When (if ever) are Lex and Brainiac coming to WF? (I'm surprised you have never done a Brainiac story)
2) Any plans for another story featuring Boy Thunder/Magog?
