Some thoughts about World's Finest #14

Who framed Bruce Wayne?

Bruce has been accused of murdering Simon Stagg and now they will learn that the true culprit want to involve Metamorpho into the murder of millionaires around the world.

This arc continues with a lot of content but a bit of an erratic pace.

Mark Waid offers a new chapter where he explores about the mystery of the murder of Metamorpho's enemy. Funnily enough, that idea is also explored right away which makes the whole story more intriguing, which makes it even more interesting though is that more millionaires are getting introduced into the plot which include heroes like Ted Kord and Oliver Queen. Speaking of the latter, he's portrayed decently enough here although Waid for some reason decides to depict him as a man completely against technology which I guess has to do because he's an archer who doesn't want to use any sort of guns but still, is a kinda odd way to present him.

Anyway, the issue is definitely not slow at moving the story since it offers many different settings where the characters try to investigate this case in which other classic villains are logically introduced (and again, this plays with the whole Silver Age tone that Waid has been implementing all this time). However, this comes at the cost of making the flow of the read a bit jumpy due to the abrupt changes of scenarios.

Dan Mora remains in art duties and his work is magnificent thanks to his beautiful characters and energetic presentation.

Good read, just hope the next one offers a satisfying revelation.
