A fantastic single issue story that highlights the strengths of our leads, but also their side characters. Read Full Review

This is an incredibly packed issue for only around 20 pages, and it delivers in every way. It's action-packed, it's funny, and it even has some important commentary about the state of alternative media. It's great to see characters like Perry White and Jim Gordon get to play the starring role for a change. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #40 is the most jam-packed and out-of-pocket one-shot in the series. It continues the series tradition of spotlighting supporting characters from Superman and Batmans respective casts, but this time has far more to excite the reader. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest #40 is a breather issue with a twistits light on superheroics, heavy on character, and somehow makes late-night satire feel like high-stakes drama. Waid and Mora once again prove that Batman and Superman dont need to throw punches to deliver a knockout. Read Full Review

I had a great time with Batman/Superman: World's Finest #40! Mark Waid knows how to keep your eyes glued to the pages, with the fantastic creative team behind him. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #40 is the perfect interlude to the next arc that promises some Bizarro action. The creative team has put together an incredibly fun and exciting issue with a simple concept that goes a long way. Mark Waid continues to prove why he is one of the greatest comic book writers by seamlessly combining the lightheartedness of Silver Age comics while still making the plots feel incredibly modern.

The hooks for Batman/Superman: World's Finest #40 are clear: the inherent fun of having Gordon and Perry do a TV/Podcast interview, and obviously seeing a giant robot fight against a kaiju. The fight itself certainly delivers, with plenty of big pages of exciting action as they duke it out. The problem is that everything else, interview included, feels so rushed that it only barely holds itself together. It's flashy yet superficial action that's can be lots of fun but definitely needs more room to breathe. Read Full Review

A rare misfire by Waid for me. Nothing about this story really clicked for me. The story is set in the past, bronze-age adjacent as we’ve seen in this book previously, but the video podcasting gimmick seems pretty contemporary. The out-of-nowhere kaiju Batman super suit that seems to be the size of a skyscraper?! Never seen again to my knowledge. The lame villains. Even the artwork wasn’t up to usual standards. It all reeks of a hastily-written fill-in issue. While I love the occasional one-and-done single issue stories, this one just didn’t work for me.
