    Eclipsos endgame comes into focus with a spectacular closing chapter. Waid maxes out the heroic strengths at play with the writing. Gutirrez, Herms and Wands craft a suspenseful showdown featuring two legendary teams. What more could you want from a series that lives up to the billing of Worlds Finest Read Full Review

    I think this title might be even stronger if it leaned into its Brave and the Bold influences, and did more team-ups that didn't necessarily focus on the big two. Waid has such a deep knowledge and love for the DCU that it would be fun to see him stretch it even further. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Bryant Lucas Nov 23, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #33 is a fitting conclusion to an excellent arc. The story hits all the right notes, the art is top-tier, and the emotional beats stick. It's not revolutionary, but it doesn't need to be. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Nov 27, 2024

    If you let these things wash over you, this is a fun quick story. (After all, if you think about ANY super-hero story too long things get muddy.) But this wasn't as perfect or near-perfect as prior arcs. So in some ways it is a let down. Given that the JLU sounds like a similar book in concept (the trinity with 'other heroes' as needed - albeit in the present not some undisclosed past), I wonder if this book gets a new writer?

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Nov 21, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #33 brings the Shadows Fall arc to a close. It feels rushed, but there are glimmers of hopefulness in this issue that give a much-needed beating heart to this story. The art is colorful and fun, making it all-around an unevenly paced but solid issue. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Nov 20, 2024

    The overall appeal of the series still remains, but rushed and poorly executed plot elements make it difficult to hold it in the same exceptional regard as in the past. Too often the endearing character moments and fun action is overshadowed by diversions that don't go anywhere or underdeveloped resolutions. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Nov 20, 2024

    I hope you have the reflexes of Superman himself because Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #33 is all over the place as the Justice League and Justice Society attempt to corner Eclipso with the sun in his sights. Its madness all around the world with so much going on in such a short span of time in what is meant to be the final issue in the Eclipso arc. Read Full Review
