World's Finest #47 is a blast. It's fun, light-hearted, and unapologetically comic booky. The ending leaves us with a lingering question: the Fusion seems to still be around as its own entity. Whether he's a new permanent fixture or a lingering cosmic side-effect, I'm definitely here for it. Read Full Review
Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #47 continued our highly contested fusion and merger nemesis match and surprises us with a profound dive in why Clark kept his alter ego from those closest to him at a time when it hardly matters anymore.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #47 sticks the landing with style, embracing Silver Age absurdity while still delivering genuine tension and blockbuster visuals.

I suppose I just need to say 'comic book science' and get over it. But it feels like this was a couple of good ideas that a story was built around, went a bit too far, and just wrapped up. There are a lot of good nuggets here. But when the climax falls flat it ended with a whimper not a bang. Read Full Review
Fun but falls apart at the end, and I thought if we learned anything from Identity Crisis, it's that mind wipes are BAD.
