Product Description

The adventures of the World's Finest heroes continues in this new hardcover. First, sidekicks Robin and Supergirl must go undercover in Arkham Asylum. Then, Flash-foe Gorilla Grodd strikes at Superman and Batman through their weakest links: their closest confidants, Lois Lane and Alfred. Plus, a spooky Halloween tale delves into what scares Superman and Batman -- as well as their greatest foes, Lex Luthor and The Joker. And an epic tale tying into DC's BLACKEST NIGHT turns Man-Bat, Bizarro and Solomon Grundy loose on Superman and Batman's hometowns of Metropolis and Gotham City.

This review is from: Superman/Batman: Night & Day (Hardcover)

This latest Superman Batman trade follows in the same formatted footsteps as the previous volume, compiling brief single and double issue exploits rather than one lengthy arc. And like the previous volume, it basically succeeds on all accounts, except for one ill-conceived misfire, a patently forced Blackest Night tie-in penciled by qualified artist Scott Kolins but unfortunately penned by not so qualified writer Scott Kolins. Thankfully most of the book is in the capable crafty hands of Mike Johnson and Michael Green, who have been a very welcome addition to this series. Included in this collection is a rather light hearted team-up of youngsters Robin and Supergirl, a two part "dreamy" excursion presenting the Justice Titans that could justly be considered the flip side to the recent amusing L'il League romp and just as easily been further expanded upon into a more elaborate adventure, a Halloween special courtesy of the Scarecrow, and the highlight of the entire book, the dark and foreboding Grodd issue. Sad to say, this volume marks the end of the two Mikes' run on the title. Their work in general, both imaginative and witty, was consistently entertaining and will be missed, although the trend to shorter stories may have been an omen that their creative wellspring was drying up. Time will tell if the next declared direction for the series, sequels to previous DC storylines, will succeed as well.
