Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31, by DC Comics on 9/18/24, begins a new challenge for the Justice League when a booby trap left by Eclipso finally springs, freeing the villain and endangering the world.
Is Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31 Good?
Writer Mark Waid's time on the title may be winding down, but it appears he intends to go out with a bang. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31 puts the Justice League back on their heels in the worst way, leading to big hits, shocking developments, and the arrival of allies to save the day... maybe.
Batman/Superman: World's Finest begins with the Justice League assembled at the Watch Tower to witness a solar eclipse as a celestial wonder of nature. At precisely the moment of the eclipse's peak, the JL is attacked when it appears Green Lantern, Black Canary, and Green Arrow are possessed by Eclipso.
Love him or hate him, Mark Waid knows how to start a superhero comic with a bang. A simple gathering turns into a fight for survival in the blink of an eye, and it's all thrills from here.
The issue shifts to a flashback 24 hours ago. The Justice League puts the finishing touches on the world's most energy-advanced construction in the world's history - Solar City. One of Solar City's leading architects and former host to Eclipso, Dr. Bruce Gordon, helps with ensuring the city is running at peak efficiency. Unfortunately, the city isn't running at peak efficiency, so Gordon becomes desperate to solve the technical issues, both to accomplish something great and to show the world he's not responsible for the heinous deed of his former alter ego.
Waid smartly sets the stage for Eclipso's return by playing on Bruce Gordon's insecurities and fears. Gordon was always an unwilling host for Eclipso, so instead of using the too-often used cliche of a misunderstood victim, Gordon is presented as a tragic figure who becomes recklessly eager to be rid of his curse.
Gordon rifles through a number of storage boxes to find something that could resolve his technical woes. His searching unlocks a hidden storage box that contains exactly the part he needs, but when Gordon ignores Mona Bennett's pleas to slow down and test, the device suddenly turns into a bright crystal and explodes. In the aftermath, Gordon becomes a sunlight-based version of Eclipso. Drinking in the Sun's rays, Gordon's powers shunt to Eclipso, imprisoned in a dark crystal aboard the Watchtower. The sudden influx of power frees the demon.
Admittedly, the entire sequence happens fast, almost too fast, so you'd need to pause and trace back a few panels to really get the gist of what's happening. Eclipso gloats later to fill in the gaps. Still, the sequence of events is, again, thrilling.
The issue ends with a losing battle aboard the Watchtower, one heck of a cannon shot, and a lone survivor reaching out to the world's first Justice team for help.
What's great about Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31? When it comes to fun, exciting, rousing superhero action comics, Waid is one of the best in the business. Waid nails the spirit of adventure simply by nailing the setup, which is a sad deficiency in too many comics from the Big 2 these days.
What's not great about Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31? The setup and premise make perfect sense, but the execution feels a little rushed in spots. Rushed enough that Eclipso has to deliver a few words of exposition to fill in the gaps. It's not a big deal, but you'll notice it.
How's the Art? Okay, let's get to the elephant in the room. Adrián Gutiérrez steps in for Dan Mora on Waid's final arc of the series, so the big question on everyone's mind is, "Is Adrián Gutiérrez as good as Dan Mora?" In truth, no, but few artists are. That said, Adrián Gutiérrez comes in as a semi-close second, so diehard Dan Mora fans will notice the difference, but the difference isn't big enough to detract from the title in a sizable way.
Put another way, Adrián Gutiérrez did a great job living up to an impossibly high standard.

Final Thoughts
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #31 kicks off the last arc in Mark Waid's run with an action-packed, thrilling return of Eclipso. Waid's core premise and creative setup are top-notch despite a few rushed moments in the execution, and Adrián Gutiérrez's turn on the title would make Dan Mora proud.

A Sandwich Attack Was Used to Wipe Out My Crypto Transaction Of $389,000.
ReplyDeleteI was swapping in between my stablecoins when I lost $389,000. I was confused and didn’t know how that could happen, I just lost all my crypto and I’m traumatized.
A few days later, a tech guy from my firm contacted a crypto recovery expert Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to detect that a malicious bot called MEV(Maximum Extractable Value) detected my transaction and front ran it before my transaction was processed. The bot's actions made me lose almost 99% of my funds and stole $389,000. Fortunately for me, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace this transaction and retrieve it successfully without any delay while applying its sophisticated software and malware techniques. It seems we have to be up to date with market news and stay alert always. Morphohack can be contacted via the following link: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM (Whats App:+12136724092)
Did you suffer losses from the CanCap Crypto investment scam?
ReplyDeleteSadly, I was a victim of this CanCap crypto investment scam, and I lost $757,000 worth of crypto in 24 hours. I saw an article about CanCap Crypto on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I was deceived into believing I could invest in this scheme, but I ended up losing all my money. Not a while later, I found out that I was being scammed when I saw the news about the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) warnings about the CanCap Crypto investment scam. I was left wondering what had happened and how I could recover my money. A friend who works for the government of Alberta told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, which is a resourceful crypto recovery company. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who had already received several other requests to investigate and recover crypto from the same scam, while I was still in doubt if it could be done, Morphohack was able to recover my crypto investments from CanCap within 48 hours later. In light of the situation, I fully recommend the service of Morphohack Cyber Service while I encourage everyone out there to be careful of their crypto investments or seek help from a reputable and trustworthy source.
