Such delightful stories. There's an argument that these stories are repetitive but I always found an interesting idea, or alien creature, or just an individual image that stuck with me from each one. I love that it feels like anything could happen.

These books are so much fun!
While 99% of the stories follow the same formula (some alien creature or villainous meta human comes to town and turns Batman and Superman against each other) they’re really light hearted and easy to read. They all follow the old monster of the week format where every story wraps up in one issue and the villain is usually never seen again. In some ways, I wish newer comics would do that occasionally instead of 5 part arcs.
There are a lot of kooky moments like Clark mopping up maple syrup with his hair because it’s the “fastest way”. I really like the strange moments —- they just add to the charm.
So, it’s a recommend if you like simple, self contained stories with some kooky plots.
