Mark Waid gives us a pretty solid but simple mystery for Robin to solve, which kicks off this new story arc. I really loved how he had Robin describing his love of the circus at the beginning of the book. I also loved how well-written the various characters were and the panel where Superman gets hit on by the circus cook was pretty fun. Overall, this is a good start to the new story arc and could almost work as a one-shot style story if we did not know that there was more to come. Read Full Review

We're off to a big new arc next month, as the forgotten sidekick of Superman is revealed, but this issue reminds me a lot of the best of Waid's one-off Brave and the Bold stories. Read Full Review

Batman / Superman: World's Finest #6 takes a break from the big, blockbuster action for a circus-set murder mystery that fits snugly in the wholesomeness of the Golden Age of comics. The adventure is charming, the mood is slightly corny but in an endearing way, and the art doesn't miss a beat in the hand-off from Dan Mora to Travis Moore. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #6 ditches the world-ending plot of the previous arc for a gleeful one-shot that celebrates the carefree attitude of Silver Age comics. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #6 is a nice little side adventure; however, it doesn't really rise above the status of filler. It's a downbeat issue that seems irrelevant to Waid's overarching story. Moore's art is very good but doesn't achieve the same level of greatness that Mora's does, in my opinion. This combination of factors makes the issue slightly subpar. Mind you – issues 1-5 were absolutely fantastic, so the bar for par was set pretty high. Read Full Review

I still like reading this issue, but I can't ignore the flaws. The creative team has to cram so many plot beats and character beats into 20 pages, that nothing's properly fleshed out, and as a result all of it feels rushed. I'm glad that we find optimism within these pages again, but if the story itself doesn't make sense, then even optimism can't save the final product. This issue is easily skippable and, unless you are a completionist or have a few extra bucks to spare, I recommend you do skip it and wait for the second arc to start next month. Nothing here is essential to the overall series, after all. Read Full Review

Waid really understands the lighter side of these characters, and nails every piece of dialogue. Great series, perfect issue.

Wow what a fun great book

When I'm reading a comic, I generally judge by asking myself: What does this want to be and, is it doing it well? The pacing, dialogue, artowrk... All contribute to that.

This wanted to be a wholesome, feel-good issue, and it delivered perfectly.

World's Finest has been reading like a Sunday morning cartoon, connected with this very Golden Age-inspired story, this Dick-focused issue becomes a great feel-good story between arcs with stunning art.

While I was a bit disappointed that Mora wouldn't be drawing this issue, Moore is a great artist in his own right. His soft drawing style, paired with warm colors by Bonvillain, really brings out the good vibes.

It's good to see Robin!Dick investigate and being back in a circus setting for a moment without too much tragedy befalling the poor establishment. I certainly got what I wanted out of this.

An excellent, fun issue with beautiful art.

I wish this creative team will do more Dick Grayson stories.

holy kino

This conclusion was the best chapter of the story. It took me back to the old Detective Comics stories of the Bronze age with a little time travel twist. Dick trying to solve murders at a circus in the 19th century was a clever plot. The only downside is they don't seem to realize female lions don't have a mane.
We don't get enough mysteries for Batman to get caught up in anymore, so it was refreshing to see it here. the first Story in this series was a success, now we wait patiently as we can for story 2.

It's reading books like these that make me want to buy all the Batman 60's archives and just read Silver Age Bruce & Dick stuff. It really doesn't get better than World's Finest.

A fun little old school mystery, even if the "lost in time" plot feels pretty meaningless since Dick is only actually lost for about two pages. Wonderful art by Travis Moore, who draws the most beautiful men in comics.

Pure Silver Age fun. Waid writes a great Dick Grayson. But Batman and Robin doing the acrobatics was surprisingly queer. No objection, but that sort of came from nowhere.

Another amazing issue in this series. Moore's art is fantastic and obviously a different style. If it still fits the tone of the story then comparing it to Mora's really doesn't seem fair. They are both amazingly talented artists and I think Moore's art fits here well. I am a sucker for Robin stories especially Dick-centric Robin stories. Dick using his detective skills, surrounded by a circus like he grew up in, simple fun. What else could you ask for?

I really like this issue. A good Robin-centric story is hard to find these days. Having him stuck in another time and gravitate toward the circus was cool and having Batman appear on the trapeze was awesome. Though them traveling through time like it's no big deal was a bit of a stretch, even in comics. I like the little mystery. It was just a fun issue.

There's no shame in being the weakest issue of an incredibly strong run, but that's unfortunately the case here, mostly due in part to how high Waid and Mora set the bar early on. The story is relatively simple and ties off the last loose end remaining regarding the fate of Robin. On art, Moore does some nice fill-in work and the sequences with Batman and Superman performing in the circus are sure to leave a smile on your face, but it doesn't quite have the same spark as Mora's pencils. This is still a great book overall, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming Batman vs Robin mini to see where Waid goes.

no hate towards Travis Moore, but this title really needs Dan Mora's art in order to work.
