THE WAVES CRASH! Superman and Batman have a code against killing...but does a king of Atlantis? As the Floronic Man makes his final play for dominion over the seas, Aquaman is forced to react as a warrior, not a superhero--and the consequences will surprise you! Guest-starring Swamp Thing...and featuring a very special celebrity cameo variant from the mayor of Flavortown himself: Guy Fieri!
This is a great look at an era of Atlantis we really haven't seen much of, and many of its plot elements are actually dovetaliling into the current Aquaman book by Jeremy Adams. The timeline in this book shifts back and forth a good deal, so I'm hopeful Waid has a lot more ground to cover in it. Read Full Review
The Floronic Mans takeover of the deep seas concludes with a fantastic finish. Waid deals with many egos as the fight for good takes a dive. Gutirrez and Herms construct phenomenal panels as the story ramps up on the action. Arguably the best superhero book at the LCS right now. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #37 rounds it back to Aquaman for some arc closure with a tale of two kings that gets us to care about this Atlantis cast, who are worthy of their own series within the Aquaman mainline. Read Full Review
Can you imagine! I felt bad for Ronal! I was rooting for him! I was happy for him! Words I never thought I'd say. So overall a fun issue with good character moments even if the super-hero plot felt almost extraneous. Love the bubble effects and ben-day dots and all the other stuff Gutierrez used to spice up the proceedings. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #37 is a strong closer to the brief arc of Batman, Robin, and Superman's Atlantean adventure. Read Full Review
All of the storylines for this arc get wrapped up in nice little bows, but perhaps they could have used more time to feel fully fleshed out. There are a lot of big, high level concepts for a comic to cover in only three issues, and in order to finish on time many conflicts are resolved within a few pages, if not a single conversation. That being said, the overall adventure is still fun as the comic often is, especially the primary plot of the battle against Professor Woodrue. Read Full Review
This happens to be my 4000th review, and what better way to celebrate this than with Batman and Superman, who happen to be my top 2 favorite superheroes of all time. The art is solid, the pacing and action is great and the story was interesting. Mark Waid finally found his groove, and he's going to be the architect or the big figures based on impact of 2020 DC Comics. It's pretty clear that he has a big role in leading DC's All In, and I am excited to see what's next. I'm enjoying this series, and I know when this series is going to conclude I am going to be glad that I read it since the beginning.
I had dropped this title several months ago. Then I saw Aquaman on a sea horse and decided to pick it up. I am a huge Aquaman fan. Unfortunately, the Aquaman I saw on the cover was not actually in the book. I'm not even sure what this was about. Floronic Man was controlling Swamp Thing underwater. To what end? I'm not sure. Superman cannot breathe underwater, therefore, he cannot speak underwater. He can simply hold his breath for a really long time. It begins with Superman kissing a married mermaid, who is having marital troubles. This was all too weird for me. Needless to say, I re-dropped the title.
