DC Comics and Batman / Superman #19 Spoilers and Review follows.
Archivist Unmasked Plus…
…A Returning DC Icon, But Is He Friend Or Foe?
We open with Superman and Batman of Earth One being trapped in a crystal of some kind by the Archivist while…
…their mini film counterparts, including Lex Luthor as Dr. Atom, try to defeat the Archivist.
Well, Lex does damage causing the Archivist to be sent into the film archives to heal.
The first world hey encounter is a futuristic one where…
…the Archivist is a giant alien creature.
The next world is an old western…
…where they team with El Diablo to unarmor the Archivist.
He is alien who doesn’t remember his real name, but…
…remembers how and why he created this archive of worlds.
Looks like the armor has a mind of its own and won’t let itself be freed from the alien…
…teasing the World’s Finest next big threat as the Demon Etrigan and his horde from hell.
The Pulse:
The story remains compelling, but gets a bit more convoluted. Varying art teams makes for choppy transitions. 5.5 out of 10.
