Oct 18, 2022Boy Thunder isn't quite right, but he's surrounded by the best mentors and peers possible. This has been an excellent ride seeing where this creative team is taking this story and there's zero chance I'm not already anticipating the next installment. Read Full Review

SciFiPulse - Ian Cullen
Oct 24, 2022OverallThis is a really fun and interesting story and the focus on David AKA Boy Thunder and his superhero journey give us an insight into topics such as mental health and anxiety. I loved the sequence in which Supergirl tells her story to Boy Thunder in an effort to ease his mind about his own anxiety as he is blaming himself for the loss of his own Earth. The question is. Was he the cause of the destruction of his own world? Or was it something else? Read Full Review

Oct 18, 2022It seems like Waid is being set up as the new architect of the DCU, and based on his two titles right now, DC couldn't make a better choice. Read Full Review

Oct 19, 2022This comic has fantastic character writing, a serious core conflict, and its fair share of wholesomeness. There's adventure on every page, all of which is rendered beautifully by Mora and Bonvillain. This might be my favorite series from DC at the moment. Enthusiastically recommended! Read Full Review

Great ! This is the kind of comic book that feels good. Joyful, colorful, spectacular, intelligent, and well written, the whole thing conveys a feeling of total satisfaction. Everything is perfect, story, drawings, colors, lettering ... Batman & Superman trust and appreciate each other. Batman is happy or it looks like it, Robin is enthusiastic and exciting, Thunder boy intriguing, Supergirl touching, the young titans eminently likeable. World' Finest is simply unmissable.

This book is the Top Gun: Maverick of comics. Proof that if you just focus on the strengths of the medium instead beating your audience over the head with your own beliefs, you can produce something that satisfies PAID fandom (emphasis on PAID, as in the people who actually care enough about comics to still buy them instead of cheering for them on Twitter but never showing up at the comic shop). This book is at times so stupid yet so great, I can’t stop praising it. I don’t understand the hate for the upcoming Lazarus Island. Do I love Waid as a person? Not especially. Do I agree with his personal beliefs? Hardly ever. None of that matters because he writes an entertaining comic and I enjoy it. Here’s my money. The end.

This series just continues to be the highlight of my pull list every month. The writers of this series "Get it". They get the formula to selling comic books, interesting story telling and art where the artist actually tries to produce drawings that are more than sketches. No politics, no preaching about social issues, just a fun book that aims to entertain and engage readers. Keep it up!

The villain is the Key, whom I haven't seen in quite a while. This really a coming-of-age story for Boy Thunder. He has to find himself and the confidence in his abilities to be a hero. We meet the original Teen Titans, which was cool and we have the unveiling of the Joker. Good stuff.
