    The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw Jul 16, 2025

    It's time for inverse and backwards problem solving in Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #41 as Bizarro World faces a crisis of its own. Stories like these are why the demented Superman Wonderland keeps coming back. Read Full Review

    Bizarro is a very hard character to get right, and one that rarely works for me, but this is an intriguing take on the concept that drives home how disturbing he can be. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Chris Showalter Jul 16, 2025

    Teeming with frantic horror and sci-fi action, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #41 is a Silver Age-inspired feast. Mark Waid's script is top-notch as we rapidly bounce from one plot point to the next in an attempt to figure out what is going on with the time-displaced Robin. Waid's use of Robin as the reader's voice is perfect, as we are dropped into the action with so many questions. Additionally, Gutirrez's artwork perfectly captures the cinematic actions of the Man of Steel as he plows through the hordes of Bizarro Supermen. Matt Herms' colors wonderfully complement Gutirrez's artwork as they do a wonderful job evoking the Silver Age stories that inspired this issue. Unfortunately, the first issue of "Bizarro World Tour is not exactly new reader friendly. However, current readers will find a lot to love about this issue. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Jul 17, 2025

    Batman/Superman: World's Finest #41 kicks off an exciting arc that feels like the complete opposite of where Justice League Unlimited is heading. The creative team, especially Adrin Gutirrez and Matt Herms, is knocking it out of the park and delivering some of the best art from this series so far, which is saying a lot. Mark Waid nearly flawlessly continues to show that he is the right person for this series, consistently delivering some of the funnest issues featuring Batman and Superman in recent years.

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Jul 16, 2025

    Bizarro and Bizarro World are always a fun way to absurdly parody well known characters using ridiculously opposite abilities. That still holds true here, and it's where the story's best moments come from. The actual plot itself can be hard to follow due to a mixture of frantic pacing and intentionally withheld information for the sake of later revelations and twists. It's an uneven start to the new story arc, but still leaves the door open for some interesting directions. Read Full Review

    Supergirl Comic Box Commentary - Anj Jul 25, 2025

    This was a decent issue with some fun hooks. I was glad Waid's grasp of Bizarro backwards thinking and speech was consistent. And a 'normalcy plague' is a purely Bizarro idea.  As always, the comic entertained although perhaps not to the level I am used to. Read Full Review
