Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Vol. 3 – Return to Kingdom Come is pure comic book joy from start to finish. Mark Waid crafts a smart, energetic return to one of DC’s most iconic storylines without ever feeling like a retread. It pays homage to Kingdom Come while carving out its own fun, fast-paced narrative.

The dynamic between Batman and Superman continues to shine, and the expanded cast only adds to the excitement. The stakes are high, the pacing is tight, and Dan Mora’s art is as bold and vibrant as ever—seriously, every page pops.

It’s big, bright superhero storytelling done right: fun, emotional, and packed with heart. A great volume that balances nostalgia with fresh energy.

The reveal of Magog at the end of the last volume was a nice "holy shit" moment that took me completely by surprise.  

I liked revisiting the Kingdom Come universe, particularly since it was originally created by Mark Waid, so it feels more legit than if some other random author decided to set a story in that universe.

I get tired of seeing Batman and Superman fighting each other or alternate versions of each other, which is something that this series has mostly avoided up until this point.  It just feels so reductive that they have to go through the same song and dance every time.

As usual Dan Mora's art is fantastic.
