Superman/Batman Vol. 1: Public Enemies Awesome read that leads into another read, definitely a worthy introduction to a well-written Series.
Characters Over Plot The plot of this story isn't all that great, it doesn't break any new ground or is even that original, but the characterization of both Superman and Batman, especially in their thought boxes, are spectacularly unique. The way they play off each other and practically finish each others thoughts is something that has been imitated since with nowhere near the insight as the original. McGuiness' art is, as always, cartoonishly appropriate.
Excellent First Volume of the Superman/Batman Series Illustrated by Ed McGuinness and written by Jeph Loeb, this volume collects the first six issues of the Superman/Batman comic book. This book is like a throwback to the team-ups of yesteryear such as World's Finest. Highly enjoyable!
Great Start To One of My Favorite Series Superman and Batman is there a better pairing in comics? I don't think so and this is exactly why I think it. Superman and Batman are just perfect foils for each other. Batman the paranoid pessimist, Superman the over trusting optimist. I could go on but, I'm not going to the two just fit together. The story is solid with several different characters from across the board heroes and villains both making appearances throughout. Art isn't the best you will ever see but, it's not too bad. I recommand to anyone who likes either of the characters.
Brokeback Batman PLEASE!!! So mediocre, just a lot of whining and pining. Loeb was great with Long Halloween, etc. But this is drivel. Gets a second star for the art.
