3.5 stars

The way Superman escaped Nezha's prison was my favorite moment. With end the first arc I'm excited to read about rescuing of Robin.

Essa estratégia da Panini Comics Brasil em incluir as histórias de Batman: Urban Legends no mix de Batman/Superman: Os Melhores Do Mundo é enervante. A editora pega uma história muito bem escrita e muito bem desenhada, que é a trama principal de World's Finest por Mark Waid e Dan Mora (e que tem ramificação na minissérie Batman vs. Robin) e enche de restolhos de encontros do Batman com outros super-heróis do Universo DC. Nesta edição são duas histórias: uma com o Homem-Borracha e outra com Etrigan, o Demônio. As duas fraquinhas, fraquinhas, que nem fazem sentido terem sido publicadas, muito chatas e sem propósito. Por outro lado, a série principal é bonita, intrigante, pujante, um contraste imenso com a qualidade das outras histórias e que só puxa a nota da revista como um todo para baixo. Espero que o material de Urban Legends acabe logo pra que coisa melhor seja colocada no lugar. Mas esse parece um horizonte distante...

The series continues to be excellent and I'll continue to pull it each month!

I'm glad the demon Nezha story is done because he wasn't a villian that particularly interested me.

Very excited for the spin off Batman vs Robin!

Great ending to the first arc.

Thank you Neal Adams!

And the fight vs the Demon is over in this issue.
Next issue finding Robin.
The final pages here are a tribute to Neal Adams.
Trying not to cry the artwork and writing are outstanding.

La miglior serie in uscita ora. Storia mai banale e incerta fino all'ultimo. Ottima conclusione di un primo arco che ha saputo inventare cose nuove, ha saputo portare in scena un team up classico in modo perfetto, e ha saputo anche gettare le basi per eventi che probabilmente rivoluzioneranno il mondo dc ancora una volta

Aqui sim está muito bem finalizado o arco super massaveiooo. Arroz com feijão de mãee

[Paransis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the issue with Batman and Superman doing the fusion was the best issue on this arc, this was 🔛🔝

THE DRAMA.
THE SUSPENSE.
THE INTELLIGENCE.

I love it! Can't wait to read Batman vs Robin as I go my path toward Dark Crisis (WHICH I READ FIRST HAHAHAHA)

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

So I'm a little peeved that it doesn't really wrap up. So you have to switch over to Batman vs Robin to get there and figure it out and so that's a whole new thing, but I'll reserve my total petty judgement for an issue or two of the new series to see if I like it or not.

Batman is extremely over dramatic about the idea he might lose Superman in this, and tbh it cracks me up because I can just hear the proverbial ships launching into the ocean over those 2-3 pages.

I'd like to see more of this Super-Girl, I'd like to know what happened between her and Robin that they don't get along. I'd like to see more interactions with Batman and Superman as written this wya. Overall I did enjoy it a lot.

[James DeSantis · Rating 5 out of 5]

EPIC!!! Okay this series started a bit disjointed but by the end I am 100% in on this series. Superman and Batman along with Supergirl and DOom Patrol do their last push to stop evil. So much damn fun, looks so damn good, and it's everything I want in a superhero comic! I'm hoping one day we get an entire Omnibus with this. I hope it goes for 30+ issues.

[RubiGiráldez RubiGiráldez · Rating 3 out of 5]

En manos de este equipo creativo, se logra que este desenlace de 1º arco argumental bastante tosco y abrupto funcione a las mil maravillas con sus sacrificios temporales de apenas 4 páginas. Tampoco me ha gustado mucho que Waid cuele ese teaser tan descarado de una de sus miniseries recientes (que por supuesto me veo en la obligación de leer cuanto antes).

[Vinicius · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gibi honesto e divertido de super heróis com lutinha de hominho, poderzinho, trama interessante, umas maluquices ocorrendo que fazem sentido no roteiro e desenhos incríveis!! Muito bom esse capítulo, e ainda continua na revista Batman vs robin.

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed it more so then I did the trip through time. Go Doom Patrol.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

"I was depending on Batman to notice something missing. That's not a gamble. That's a plan." God, I love this comic so much.

[lizgrenat · Rating 5 out of 5]

look me in the eye and tell me this batman isn't a man IN LOVE

[Kastie Pavlik · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love Mora's art, but the story is solid here, too. I like that this is tying back into existing stories in the current runs.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t love the nezha arc but this final was really good

[Avinash · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my favourite issue. Art is perfect and story was good too.

“He’s counting on me! I know he is!” Dawg… I know what you are

great first arc, loved the doom patrol involvement. onward!!

[Jedi · Rating 5 out of 5]

plan was genius
5/5 incredible

[Dingleberg · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think it is because I am so over the this hero died/their gone moments, but I completely tuned out emotionally after that. Art was great though.
