Review: Batman/Superman: World's Finest Vol. 7: Total Eclipso hardcover/paperback (DC Comics)
Mark Waid has a veritable crisis on his hands! That is, “crisis” in the old sense, when “crisis” signaled a team-up between the Justice League and the Justice Society. No multiple Earths this time around, but still the Satellite era Justice League partnered with the Justice Society through a World’s Finest lens.
There does rather always seem more Waid could do. It’s a great thrill to see these particular instances of these characters on the page together in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Vol. 7: Total Eclipso and, as the name implies, versus Eclipso no less. But beyond that, there isn’t an awful lot that Waid does that’s necessarily different than what we’ve seen before, neither in regards to the heroes nor the villains. We’ve also lost series artist Dan Mora now and that’s a real shame — I’d have liked to see him draw this particular story, for one, and for two, I’m not sure World’s Finest’s Bronze Age aesthetic is altogether convincing without him.
