  Weird Science - Eric Shea

  I was actually shocked that when I finished this issue that I didn't hate it.  At this point I figured the writers had just given up and I was about there myself.  This issue though gave me a moment of hope that everything that's been awful in this series could be turned around.  I'll stay optimistic and say that if you haven't given up on this book yet, give it a few more issues.  I only wish that the art was as strong here as it was last week because I might have actually considered believing in miracles....... Yeah, I'm hyping this issue up and I don't want you to think that this issue will blow you away but after having the issues that we've had, almost anything would have been an improvement.

  Batman-News - Sean Buckley

  Jan 30, 2015

  Over halfway through the series' run, characters are still being introduced and new plot lines are still being formed. There's two months left and still there's no sign of the endgame in sight. After two above-average entries to World's End, this issue is a major downturn with its weak art and lack of direction behind its story. Read Full Review
