Did the second title related to the Earth 2 parallel world
saga, live up to the hype? World’s Finest issue 1 doesn’t disappoint with a great kickoff story.
It’s hard not to pick up a comicbook when you have a trio of
legends such as writer Paul Levitz and artists George Perez and Kevin Maguire, pouring
their talents into it. World’s Finest is
of course, the story of The Huntress and Powergirl and their adventures in our
Earth. Both were originally from the parallel world of Earth 2 but were somehow
transported to our planet after the end of the Apokolips War on their world. In that world, Helena Wayne was known as
Robin and Karen Starr was Supergirl.

World’s Finest issue 2 furthers the Earth 2/parallel world
connection masterfully. You’ll see subtle hints to related comics such as the
recent Huntress miniseries and the Mr. Terrific series. I will assume that Levitz will continue the
story of our two protagonists trying to devise some method of returning to
their original world. The debut issue
has a few developing subplots and being stuck on our world, you should expect some
involvement with the other New 52 heroes and characters in due time. The flashback scenes are
wonderful and hope to see more of the duo's past adventures on their own planet as well.
Final Verdict: A
