review 1: The Superman/Batman title is one of my all-time favorite comic book series -- easily within my top three. So it pains me to say that I found this 9th collected volume to be so lackluster. Unlike some other titles in the series, this collection contained a handful of one-shot "short stories," as opposed to the entire collection telling one overarching plot. That's definitely not a bad thing -- my absolute favorite volume in the collection, the preceding "Finest Worlds," was also a handful of unconnected short stories, as opposed to one giant story -- but, unfortunately, I didn't care about most of the stories in this one.The single exception was a truly excellent Halloween tale near the end, which was fantastic.Overall, an okay effort. I'm not sorry I read it, but I doubt I... more'll be picking it up again when I turn to rereading the series.
review 2: The World's Finest team finds itself in a realm of twisted combinations in this 9th volume of the Superman/Batman saga. Opening with a tussle against the mashed-up Justice Titans, Clark and Bruce discover that something is seriously wrong with reality. Add in clever combo designs such as Lex Joker, Night Lantern, and Terranado, and you have a crafty nightmarish world - all under the control of Doctor Destiny! Robin and Supergirl recall their first team-up, stopping an all-out Arkham blitz in a nice one-and-done story. An exiled Superman and one-the-run Batman must contend with a world under the control of Grodd, who strikes at the heroes through their loved ones and the mind-controlled masses. Luthor, Joker, Superman, and Batman face a night of terror, manipulated into their darkest fears by the Scarecrow. The volume concludes with a Man-Bat/Bizarro pairing, as they battle a Black Lantern Solomon Grundy. This is what Superman/Batman should be; entertaining storylines that explore the dichotomy of DC's most famous heroes. less
