    This issue has some very interesting material about the early days of Flash's contact with Gorilla City, and Solovar is a fascinating character, but it's not clear how it ties in with the crossover until the last few pages, which set up a very interesting new conflict going forward.

    World's Finest #38 isn't the most explosive opener, but it's a character-driven, nostalgia-soaked, fun start with heart. Mark Waid's gift for authentic hero banter shines while Clayton Henry's lively art keeps things visually sharp. The "We Are Yesterday arc plants a few intriguing seeds, and while the setup feels familiar, there's enough charm and potential here to stick around and see where this retro-fueled ride heads next in DC's All In future.

    So long as people aren't expecting to actually see the opening chapter of "We Are Yesterday, this comic provides a decent one-shot of the World's Finest teaming up with Flash to fight some gorillas.
