Aug 24, 2026What an absolute blast of an issue! So much fun. Love the cast. Love the art. And perfect for this title where Waid slips a done-in-one story between arcs. Read Full Review

Play Ball! Waid spins a creative take on America’s pastime with supernatural flare. Frenda & the team deliver a double play of action and drama with the art. A fantastic detour from the traditional formula of superhero storytelling. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi
Aug 19, 2026Batman/Superman: World's Finest #54 is a fun detour that fully embraces its ridiculous premise. Bruno Frenda, Luis Guerrero, and Steve Wands make the baseball action work, while Waid adds just enough heart to keep the issue from feeling disposable. It may be a filler issue, but in a series this consistently entertaining, even the detours are worth taking. Read Full Review

The Aspiring Kryptonian - Sam Rakestraw
Aug 19, 2026Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #54 is dumb, silly, Silver Age fun that actually has some good (and significant) things to say in the little standalone story it offers. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Adam Koppel
Aug 20, 2026Batman/Superman: World's Finest #54 offers up an enjoyable one-off story with themes of friendship, morality, legacy and sacrifice, but doesn't forget to have some fun along the way. Guest artist Bruno Frenda complements Mark Waid's wildly imaginative script with impressive visuals. Read Full Review

Comic Book Clique - Russell Hartman
Aug 26, 2026Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #54 pits the heroes of the DC Universe against demons from Hell in a nine-inning classic of America’s pastime. This one-shot delivers the quality readers have come to expect from World’s Finest and has some of the most kinetic art I’ve seen in a book all year. Superman, Batman, and their allies have saved the world before but never with a walk-off shot in the ninth inning. This was a lot of fun. Read Full Review

Tons of silver age fun with great art. This story would be infuriating in an ongoing series (Marvel), yet works perfect in this series as it takes place back then.

Just silly. And of course, it's impossible to show any actual baseball going on, so it's just a gimmick.

By far the worst thing I have ever read by Mark Waid. Does not work on any level.
