Unfortunately, it feels like World's Finest has finally plateaued and settled on being more in the okay / good territory than great. Nothing egregious, nothing great. I am finding this series hard to review as the stories are not particularly memorable anymore and rely on the in-the-moment feelings and experience of reading light hearted fluff rather than creating something that will stay with you later. It does continue to be an easy read, though, and Waid still has the occasional moment that will make you smile. Still, it is a pretty big accomplishment to be eight volumes deep and still delivering to some degree.

i can’t lie, i'm too lazy to review every volume of this ongoing series, however, with the latest installment, i just wanted to check in and share some of my thoughts so far

none of the arcs in this series have been a bore, in fact, they've all been very good, and that's because Mark Waid sticks to the same formula - action-packed, light-hearted, plenty of fun interactions, and packed with cameos from characters all across the DC Universe

boring and the relationship subplot... robin was kinda useless and superman lowk had no aura
