The Pulse:

While I was more intrigued by this series when I thought it would be exploring various World’s Finest team-up’s of Batman and Superman across the omniverse, this issue didn’t disappoint. The storyline had twists, turns, action and intrigue, which has been captivating, coupled with intoxicating, in a good way, art. Expect the unexpected. 9 out of 10.
