I really enjoy the vibe that Mark Waid and the creative team established in the main Batman/Superman: World's Finest series. (That I'm slowly catching up on through collected volumes.) The Titans have always been a fun group for me to follow in its various media iterations. I love when the interpersonal dynamics within the team balance themselves out. At this early point in the series, I can definitely see the groundwork laid in place to have a lot of potential in that regard. The "situationship" between Donna and Garth has the potential to be interesting.  More important, though is the dynamic between Robin and Speedy. It looks to me like Speedy is under some heavy mental trauma or disease. That should be interesting to follow as the story progresses. Additionally, the vague villain stinger at the end has me enough intrigued that I'm in for a few more issues. Overall, love the art, story is fun, a great entry point to continue this World's Finest brand of storytelling. Looking forward to the next issue whenever it comes.

Art: Poppy, colorful art with cool character designs

Story: Enough pieces to build intrigue in the future for this ongoing title

Worth the buy?:  Yes at $3.99 USD this is a great price point for an entry issue into what will for sure be a premier DC series going forward.

Score: 4/5

Seeing as it is my first year diving into concurrent comics, I am not used to this horror trend that DC has. However, I am enough of a casual fan of the genre to try it out. The Knight Terrors: First Blood issue teased me enough that I am willing to stick with the main storyline but not enough to go out and buy the one-shot Knightmare issues for each individual character. Seeing as this issue continued the main story I was intrigued how it would progress Deadman and the rest of the superheroes' story. I love the narration from Boston against the God of Nightmares.  However, this story isn't really doing much for me. I think the villain feels generic and its taking time away from the Dawn of DC resets that I have been enjoying so much. It does seem that the solo one-shot nightmare issues may really help flesh this story out. I'm just not compelled enough to shell at $4-$5 a pop for a story I'm not enjoying all that much. I think the dialogue and art are enough to keep me following along and I think that's okay.

Art: Dark, dripping horror designs and awesome color contrasts

Story: Feels middle of the road but I am enjoying the writing of Deadman a lot, and it is pulpy enough to get me to come back for another issue.

Worth the Buy?: If you want to keep up with the overarching Dawn of DC reboots it seems to be important enough to stick with the main issues of this wide-reaching mini-series.

Score 3.5/5

This is obviously the one series this week that isn't a relatively fresh entry point into the story. I jumped in on this run of Amazing Spider-Man at issue 19 and its been a bit of an uphill battle for me. This current arc is more interesting to me than the weird MJ/ Math God/ Death of Kamala Arc. But man there is not a lot of fun for this series to me. Everything is so serious, and doesn't lean into the pulpy parts of Spidey I love. I am enjoying the way JJJ and Otto's arms are used in this issue. But I would love for this arc to kick into high gear and balance the romance, humor, and heart that I love so much about the character. I am going to give this another few issues before I seriously consider cutting it from my pull list. 

Art: Fun, colorful, good linework

Story: This arc is better than the last to me, but not by much. Enjoying the humor bits (JJJ and Black Cat) but the seriousness for Norman and Peter just isn't working for me.

Worth the Buy? Not a terrible entry point into ASM before this arc concludes and the next one starts. I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it though. 

Score 2.75/5
