There's honestly not much to comment on here that I haven't already said. I like some of the directions the comic is taking, but it feels slow going at points. The writing is perfectly fine, but nothing ever really jumps out about it. The characterization and dialogue are good as well. Finally, there is the artwork that is also just fine, but doesn't mix too well together. There was just nothing truly notable about this issue to discuss and that's honestly sad. The book isn't bad, just rather forgettable. Read Full Review

Things are gearing up in this book really fast and there are a lot of exciting things that happen in here. Mister Miracle, Darkseid, and all of the Apokolips stuff in this issue is fantastic and I cannot wait to read more about it. Not so much with the other half, though. Read Full Review

I wasn't too impressed with this week's issue.  For as many stories as we jumped around to, nothing really happened.  Like the cover and the solicit suggests, Darkseid rises......... well he begins to rise.  You have to understand he's getting a little up there in age and rising isn't as easy for him as it used to be.  So sorry all you World's End fans, if you were looking for that punch you in the gut awesome issue that I was hoping for, well then you're going to be disappointed.

I've enjoyed this series up till now, but this issue, despite the big villain on the cover doesn't read well. There was just too much going on and when comparing this to DC's other weekly series Batman Eternal that has a more focused feel, this series did not measure up. I'll be back for the next issue as Darkseid seems like he'll get more time. I'm hoping that this series doesn't end up the same way the Future's End series did, and that one is now off my buying list. Read Full Review

What to make of this titanic mess? It's spirited, except when it drags. It's interesting, except when it confuses. It doesn't move the story along at any kind of pleasing pace, and the characters are at best enigmas of motivation and personality. The world is ending, and it's hard to see why anybody would care.

I hate that we have up a great Earth 2 book for this!

Kinda misleading title. Darkseid rises but only at the very end, to see the real Darkseid rises, you're gonna have to tune in next week. Honestly, World's End suffers like Future's End from being a weekly. I like it a bit more because the art is consistently prettier and the story is more cohesive. There's an interesting premise with how Superman is still alive but so far he's more of a liability than an asset to the team. Oh and we get one page where we see Helena as something pretty grotesque much to grandpa's dismay. I'm wondering where the Dick, Babs, and son story is going because so far we have a badass Babs that kicks ass who may be dead, a somewhat useless whiny Dick, and their kid we honestly know nothing about. There has to be a payoff or why include them at all right? Right?? more
