    WF:TT continues to be an immensely rewarding read. Unless the creative team is overworked, there's really no reason this should just be a limited series. Read Full Review

    World's Finest: Teen Titans #4 delivers fantastic character study storytelling with the pairing of Garth, Wally West, and Roy Harper. The rest of the Titans cast is also highlighted well. It all comes together for a can't miss comic book for any DC Comics fan. Read Full Review

    Waid is firing on all engines here when it comes to characterization as well as thinking of interesting ways to bring Silver Age elements into the present seamlessly. Read Full Review

    We're seeing some big changes to the origins of the core Titans here, mostly for the better, but I think I'm more interested in the work this series is doing with the lesser-known Titans. It's been so long since they had the spotlight, and this could become a defining run for them. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez

    Oct 10, 2023

    World's Finest: Teen Titans #4 is a masterclass in character development and emotional storytelling. Waid gets you to care about the individuals that make up the Titans instead of simply throwing the team into one brawl after another. That said, the plot takes a backseat to the character development, so readers looking for many Titans' actions will be left wanting. Read Full Review

    I'm flat out head over heels for Waid'sWorld's Finest universe. I could read nothing but this from DC forever and be happy. (Put out other stuff, though, DC. I like new, weird things. City of Madness in particular looks incredible this week.) Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Bryant Lucas

    Oct 12, 2023

    As this series progresses, it becomes evident that this isn't your standard teenage superhero narrative. Waid leans more towards weaving drama and fleshing out character depth than mere action-packed sequences. This edition presents the beloved Titans grappling with contemporary challenges, a dynamic portrayed exceptionally well in World's Finest: Teen Titans #4. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Michael Guerrero

    Oct 10, 2023

    World's Finest: Teen Titans #4 is a good issue that depicts the challenges some people face in their most intense developmental years. When we struggle, it's important to lean on a friend. Waid depicts this importance rather well by showing the benefits and risks of opening up to our friends, even when they're different from us. Read Full Review

    As others have noted, there is very little action in this issue, but the action has never been the appeal of this series for me. The characters and their interactions are the heart this book, and this issue is full of wonderful character moments.

    This was fun. Not a lot of action and half the book was totally awkward but it considering what they were dealing with (Wally trying to keep the secret of two teammates who are dysfunctional from his parents while they deal with relationship problems), it makes sense. Honestly Waid writes teens kind of awkward in a 'Hello fellow kids' kind of way but it almost feels like he knows that and channelled that into this issue. It feels pretty accurate to how I remember being a teen talking about relationships with my friends at their houses or my own. Bumblebee and Mal sections were also great. Good banter. Actually that sums up this issue quite well. An issue of Great banter that was fun to read. That being said, the action scene at the en more

    It may not have been the best of series to date, but Mark Waid's story is still a great read even on a bad day. The issue eschews heavy action sequences (until the final few pages) for a deeper look at the interpersonal dynamic between different subsets of the group, including a very astutue reflection on what makes Speedy act the way he does around others by Aqualad. The Karen/Mal story was also a joy to read and it's great to see Karen getting more focus. The cliffhanger implies we're about to get into some serious plot as we approach the end of this run and I can't wait to see what this creative team has in store for us.
