PET-AGEDDON! The Super-Pets have gone berserk, Metropolis and Gotham City stand on the verge of ruin, and the world's only hope is...the Batgirl/Olsen team? It's a comedy of terrors as--wait, is that a flying monkey in a red cape...?

    This issue packs a lot of story into one issue, so some of the more lore-based elements involving the villain do get rushed through a little, but the art by Fran Galan is very vivid and colorful and the tone is a lot more fun and a lot lighter than the series usually is. Plus, the cliffhanger hints at another super-pets adventure that has yet to be told. Very entertaining stuff. Read Full Review

    Nerd Initiative - Ken M. Dec 18, 2024

    An unlikely team-up leads readers into a fun heroic adventure. Waid masterfully creates an entertaining tale with his writing. Galns art delivers on big action while presenting the opposite personalities. Its a fantastic superhero story that doesnt go out of style. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Dec 27, 2024

    I love these done-in-ones as Waid gets that they are meant to be a bit of relief between the hardcore stories, a moment of levity often. He also seems to understand all the characters, giving me a pitch perfect Babs and Jimmy here, just like he gives me a pitch perfect Kara and Dick, Clark and Bruce. Nice issue to end the year on. A little light on plot but heavy on fun and characterization. Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Dec 19, 2024

    This wasn't a world changing issue of BSWF, but they don't all need to be. What's more important is that this was another solidly entertaining installment of one of DC's strongest titles. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Dec 21, 2024

    Waid and company continue to find a fun energy that keeps the energy rolling throughout the issue with style and poise. The story itself might not feature a whole lot of novel energy about it...and even the idea of teaming-up Batgirl with a lesser character in the presence of...pets isnt really all that new or original either...but iots all quite a bit of fun on the whole and it all moves from beginning to end in a fun rush of energy.

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Dec 19, 2024

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #34 is artistically stylish and distinctive, and that's what keeps readers interested in a story that feels more like a run-of-the-mill Silver Age space adventure. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Dec 18, 2024

    Judging a book by its cover, Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #34 seems like a fun, little mystery (almost self-ware) to find our missing heroes but its made apparent that its not from the start. Krypto and Ace can make it fun at times and Batgirl is nice, which may leave readers wanting more. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Dec 18, 2024

    While these intermission issues can often be fun romps that stand out as highlights for the series, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #34 unfortunately ends up being rather boring. The plot itself is almost glossed over, which would be fine as a framing device, but there is little interesting comedy or character moments to fill in the gaps. Read Full Review
