Batman/Superman: World’s Finest by Mark Waid and Dan Mora

[Hopeful Hero]

It's pretty clever of Waid to actually use the Joker as a means to handle Lovecraftian like texts seeing as how his mind is already chaos incarnate. I'm looking forward to this issue. Also, not so shocking Joker's boxers are batman related.

I’ve loved almost every issue of this book but I’m not sure how much of the 5th dimensional imps I can take. They’re fun in small doses but can get annoying real fast.

4 issues or more of superheroes and their imp doppelgängers sounds painful.

That’s how I’m feeling. Especially since Waid has said he doesn’t want to make Mxy a “serious” threat, and he’s adamant that they need to keep the dumb gimmicks intact like the “you have to trick Mxy into saying his name backwards”. Alright we can go that route, but then I can’t see people staying engaged with a Mxy story for longer than an issue at most. The Imps are annoying fanboys, their schtick wears thin quickly. I’ve vastly preferred the Morrison New 52 and even the Snyder JL take on the Imps over Silver Age throwbacks. Like the Amazo arc I predict this will be another weak showing from Waid.

It does look dumb fun.

I totally get that, but Morrison managed a strong JLA/JSA story around it so I'm willing to give Waid the benefit of the doubt.

The Lex/Joker teamup was funny. First time in eons where we actually saw a Joker who wasn’t operating in the Alan Moore mold.




Can’t imagine the Joker we’ve gotten since Scott Snyder doing something like this. Lex was… fine. Seen better from Waid with regards to Lex, which isn’t to knock what we get, it’s alright for a team up issue.

[Mantis-Ray]

That was fun, Joker is actually funny here for once. Manages to capture him being a goofy nut along with being psycho which is rare nowadays.

As expected unlike Bats and Supes who can find friendship in their similarities, Lex and Joker's egotism will always drive one of the other to betray each other. Villains gonna villain.

5th Dimensional Imps are annoying...but they have lives too. And don't want to get on Batman's bad side.

lol, that first page is pretty good.

[Vordan]

Surprisingly enjoyable. Didn’t find the imps too annoying and Waid finally tackles another Superman villain in Parasite.




Thought Jamal Campbell had my favorite Parasite design but I might actually rate Mora’s even higher.

I like how their Parasite designs are actually pretty in-line with each other.

Travis Mercer will be helping out on some issues (likely because of Absolute Power eating up Mora’s time)
