Batman / Superman: World's Finest #15
What is there to say? It’s a must read and that’s pretty much it.
No words really can do justice how the art and writing fit together and elevate this whole series so much.
Its on its own level and absolutely THE Series to read currently.
I don’t think that Batman vs Robin or Lazarus Planet are necessary to enjoy World’s Finest. They take place in present day whereas World’s Finest are stories from the past. That’s why Dick is the Robin in World’s Finest.I got the first volume for this a few days ago (collecting the first 5 issues), and I am hooked on this series! So please help me out here, is the Batman vs Robin mini meant to be read before the rest of WF (issue 6 and forward), or alternating issues?
Also, the Lazarus Planet "event" seems to be a lot of unnecessary tie in issues? What issues of that storyline do I need to get?
Thanks! I'm honestly not a big fan of Damian, so I will probably skip it then.I don’t think that Batman vs Robin or Lazarus Planet are necessary to enjoy World’s Finest. They take place in present day whereas World’s Finest are stories from the past. That’s why Dick is the Robin in World’s Finest.
So my answer would be: don’t feel obligated to read Batman vs Robin or Lazarus Planet in order to enjoy World’s Finest. Only read those if you want to.
That shouldn’t detract from enjoying World’s Finest at all. And the next volume is even better in my opinion.Thanks! I'm honestly not a big fan of Damian, so I will probably skip it then.
Good to hear. I enjoyed the heck out of the first arc of WF and Will for sure continue reading, but the next volume doesn't release until september.That shouldn’t detract from enjoying World’s Finest at all. And the next volume is even better in my opinion.
That said, if you aren’t a fan of Damien but have an open mind, I would suggest Williamson’s Robin run. It might change your mind. It was one of the highlights of Infinite Frontier.

I too am a DC Universe Ultra fanatic. It was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. And being Ultra tier has been great as I only wait a month for the comics to be released to Ultra.
Ah, I see. No, unfortunately DC Universe doesn't have a store. But the "Ultra" tier only has a 1-month delay on the latest releases there.
I generally don't buy digital comics - I read digitally, and then the ones I like, I buy physical copies of the collected editions. But when I have bought digital comics, it was either on Comixology or on Amazon and read on my Kindle app.
There is of course the other avenue that doesn't exactly involve buying digital comics, and reading them on a comics reader app, but I can't endorse that. Publicly.
Thanks for thisI think so but its been a while.
I think it goes World's Finest 1-5, then Batman vs. Robin 1-4, Lazarus Planet: Alpha, then Omega, Batman vs. Robin #5, and then you can carry on with Worlds Finest because i dont think WF mentiones the plot after 5 anymore.
If the conclussion of the arc doesnt interest you, i think you can skip BvR and move on to issue 6 of WF.
They have gone overboard with Tie ins, crossovers etc in recent times.
Like for the Shadow War i think it was 5 different books or so...crazy.
I continue to like how they build up Nightwing, but im getting a bit tired at this becoming more and more a Teen Titans story.
I love the Titans. I was ticked with what they did to them in Rebirth. And I love having Nightwing be the face of DC and the leader of all of the heroes. That said, I don’t like Titans being the flagship team. I am afraid that it doesn’t work as well. The Justice League is a roster, whereas the Titans are a clique. It’s a really cool clique with great dynamics, but I think that if Dick were to be taken seriously, they should’ve given him a different team to lead.
Speaking of Nightwing leading the Justice League, I strongly suggest checking out James Robinson’s JLA run. It is one of my favorite runs and it had a very non conventional lineup of Dick Grayson’s Batman leading the team of Donna Troy, Supergirl, Jade, Starman, Jesse Quick, and Congorilla. It is an absolute blast and they face a really solid set of villains including Eclipso and the Crime Syndicate. I loved it.Having Nightwing run the Justice League would work far better imo establishing him as the Face of DC so to speak.
Its already hard enough if you want to have the Justice league with different members than the normal one, there is a reason why Jon leading the Justice League didnt really work.
Did we not get a special book for AAPI month? I loved that last year but I think that I missed it this year. If they didn’t put one out, that’s very disappointing.
