I've enjoyed the increase in quality these last few weeks. Dare I say it's almost been an entire month of good World's End issues. Seeing Darkseid take his place as a true villain and watching the Wonders battle back should have been introduced way earlier in the series. But with Convergence and Earth 2: Society only a few months away, there is only so much that can be salvaged from the overall train wreck that was the beginning of this series. Read Full Review

In better news, this issue manages to be surprisingly consistent in terms of visuals despite the large crew of pencillers and inkers. Much of the credit goes to Scott McDaniel, who provided breakdowns and helped ensure that everyone attacked the script from a similar point of view. The shifts between pencillers aren't nearly as jarring as they might be, and the issue feels more consistent and cohesive as a result. Read Full Review

This series has actually gotten better.

World's End started off with a bang and then proceeded to hit rock bottom and is now mediocre as it gets ready to come to a close. With this comic, you have the too many cooks in the kitchen effect and it's weird to have the art continually shift as you progress through the issue. Overall, World's End is all action with little character development (which is a shame because Earth 2 has very interesting characters) while the sister book, Future's End has become a decent title with some good storytelling. Overall we get a decent payoff. We finally see Darkseid pummeling our Earth 2 heroes and it looks like the exact reverse of the fight between the Earth Prime heroes fighting Darkseid in Justice League 1-6. I mean Darkseid looked like a pansy getting his eyes stabbed out by Wonder Woman and Aquaman in that first story arc while now he's slamming all the Earth 2 heroes. We'll see how this is resolved but obviously most of them survive since we see them in Convergence and Earth 2 Society is already a confirmed title. more
