For five bucks, I would expect fries and a soft drink with this issue, but I didn't get them. I just got a nice collection of stories featuring the world's finest characters: Batman, Superman, Ace, Krypto, Supergirl, Batgirl, Superboy, and Red Robin. This is a nice issue, and the fact that it's composed of multiple continuity-free stories makes it the perfect gateway comic to share with a friend. Of course, it's also a nice little comic to jump back to every so often to get a taste of just how fun and enjoyable this expensive habit of ours can truly be. Read Full Review
The back-ups don't stop there, but they might as well have. Neither David Finch's futuristic tribute to the World's Finest starring Damien and Connor Kent nor Peter Tomasi and Gene Ha's odd father/son story managed to keep my mind off Azzarello and Bermejo's little masterpiece. Speaking of which, I think I'm going to stop writing and read "Joker and Lex" one more time. Read Full Review
There were other stories here I haven't mentioned ... a sequel of the Lil Leaguers story with Rafael Albuquerque, some pinups, etc. So many of these were precious, fun, nostalgic. It amazes me when so much can be said in 2 small pages in comics. And to be honest, the Adam Hughes' art on those two pages were worth the cover price alone. I only wish the main story would have held up its end of the bargain. Read Full Review
Despite a slightly lacking lead story, many of the short back-ups in this title are just fantastic, and make the book easy to recommend. Read Full Review
So, is it worth it to buy this entire issue for that one strip? Yes. But you can also find it in Google, you know. Read Full Review
