    Things continue to spiral out of control, and that's before we find out who the main villain is a character I never expected to see in an Aquaman-centric story, but one that actually makes a lot of sense. That's a perfect example of what makes Mark Waid's writing so enjoyable he's so full of deep cuts when it comes to DC lore that he can mix and match them and never run out of stories.

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Jan 17, 2025

    This was a great opening issue. Love Lori and Ronal being here! Love the plot of Aquaman being torn a bit between his two lives and perhaps feeling forced to give up his life on land. Fun art too.  I think the jump to war between the cities felt a little fast but that is a quibble. Read Full Review

    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Jan 15, 2025

    Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #35 begins an undersea adventure that has some big potential. A strong Aquaman subplot could be on the horizon with a young Arthur still trying to gain his peoples respect as King at this point in his life. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Jan 15, 2025

    With exciting action and a straightforward yet dramatic plot, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #35 feels like a return to form for the series. The battle under the sea between the warring factions of Atlantis is small enough to keep the stakes personal, while still grandiose enough to make for a theatrically engaging story. All of this with excellent artwork by Adrin Gutirrez and Tamra Bonvillain that makes the most of the underwater setting. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Christopher Mills Jan 16, 2025

    This issue is overall a generic Aquaman story that we've seen plenty of times before and fails to really have Batman and Robin involved within the plot. Adrin Gutirrez is a great change of pace from Dan Mora, with colours from Tamra Bonvillain that really capture the world of Atlantis. The final reveal might make this story arc worth the read, or maybe Waid's time with World's Finest is beginning to wear out. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Scott Waldyn Jan 16, 2025
