World's Finest #10 Review |
World's Finest #10 demonstrates one of the interesting dangers of team books like this. We get a story involving Huntress and Powergirl doing two different things for most of the issue. It unfortunately feels a lot like a filler issue that was thrown together in light of the Damian Wayne death from last week. There's a passing moment in which Helena gets to pay her respects, but it doesn't really pay off towards much of anything. When I originally saw the cover, I was skeptical. I just didn't think it made sense for Helena - no matter how powerful blood is - to care too strongly about the death of Damian Wayne. There just wasn't a reason. This book actually handles it a little better than I expected, but rips the rug out from under us before it gets to go where we want it.
I still think World's Finest is a very solid series, and these are good characters to be on top of, but this was a weak issue for the series. Let's hope next month we can get back to our girls kicking butt!

I totally agree, this issue just fills space between one issue and the next. BUT, one big take away here...Bruce knows Helena and Kara have been there. He may not know who they are but he will be on the look out for them. Helena was grasping for family on this new Earth and Damian was as close as she ever got. She knows that one day she'll have to encounter Bruce and she knows she's not prepared for that day.
Also, there have been more than a few future DC covers that depict Kara going back to her Pre-New 52 "boob window." I guess the masses have spoken. Too bad, I liked her new look!
