The worlds of Metropolis and Gotham are about to collide in the deluxe edition of the classic World’s Finest—by writer Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Green Lantern Corps) and artists Steve Rude (Nexus) and Karl Kesel (Harley Quinn).
Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Green Lantern Corps) delivers a sharp, character-driven take on the alliance between Superman and Batman—two heroes united by purpose but divided by worldview. When the Joker and Lex Luthor forge a deadly partnership, the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight are drawn into a sleek, fast-paced thriller that explores their contrasting origins, heroic philosophies, and the mutual respect that ultimately binds them.
Featuring bold, retro-modern artwork by Eisner Award–winning artist Steve Rude and Karl Kesel, this story marries cinematic action with expressive character work. Rude’s crisp linework and iconic staging amplify the tension between Luthor’s cold ambition and Joker’s chaotic brutality, pushing the World’s Finest to their limits. This oversize volume also features story and art notes from Gibbons, thumbnails and sketches by Rude, and more!
Collects World's Finest (1990) #1-3.
