Some thoughts about World's Finest #24


Can the heroes win this fight the right way?

Darkseid has arrived to Earth to destroy everything on his path but David believes he can make a deal with him, a deal that can save the world but is against everything Superman stands for.

End of this arc and I would say is a very satisfying one.

Mark Waid makes a closure for the plot-point he has been developing for a while concerning David and his future. First of all, the use of Darkseid here is very appropriate since the writer manages to make him extremely imposing, so much that no other character here can face him properly and the way he's included into the plot is nicely connected to the ongoing story and goes along with the themes that Magog has represented all along.

Even more interesting though, is the dilemma this presents for Superman. I always thought that the Prime Earth Superman was a bit too harsh to the Kingdom Come Superman but Waid gives a justifiable explanation for that while the classic ideas of the original Kingdom Come series are maintained but still creating a sense of hope for the whole universe, even David himself.

Dan Mora remains in art duties and his work is still amazing with a very vibrant style that elevates the script to new levels.

Great read, this book can do no wrong.
