The World's Greatest Superheroes

[A Dark Knight]

Why has no one told me that there's been a collaboration between Paul Dini and Alex Ross on 6 different stories that are collected in the TPB TWGS? Is it any good? Seems to have a positive reception just from looking on Amazon...

I've never read it but I got some of the stories spoiled for me by the big Alex Ross biography-thingy that DC put out. They seem pretty damn solid.

Awesome. Considering that 24 out of 29 reviewers on Amazon gave it 5 stars, I would presume that the stories are pretty good. And then there's Dini's track record as well as Ross'. I was also thinking of reading Kingdom Come at some point, but I just ordered TWGS.

Superheros: This collects all the short stories Paul Dini and Alex Ross did together, kicking off with a story for Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, then it hits off with a Justice League story. The first stories are the best as they deal with Batman helping Gotham as Bruce Wayne, Superman trying to handle crisises such as people lacking food, with Wonder Woman you got non-feminist-forced adventures as Diana shows her passion for true rights. Captain Marvel's story is the most heartwarming as it deals with something so simple: a superhero cheering up children. It reminded me of the story of Johnny Depp dressing up as Jack Sparrow and visiting a hospital that helped his daughter, so he showed gratitude by entertaining the children there. JLA story is pretty much your usual "who watches the watchmen" motive and can we trust the JLA when they got a watch tower in the space orbit, it actually kinda bored me abit.

I'd recommend it.

Good. Like I said, I already ordered based on the positive reception on the interwebs.

I own all of them. There's Batman:War on Crime, Superman:Peace on Earth, Shazam, and Wonder Woman, as well as JLA:Secret Origins, and the full length JLA:Liberty & Justice, they are solid stories, and a perfect companion pieces to Ross & Kruger's Justice. They look especially nice next to the Absolute Edition.

I think I'll just stick to TWGS for right now. Like I said, I'm keeping an eye out for Kingdom Come.

Well, The World's Greatest Superheroes is a collection of the ones I just listed, the stories found in that book were originally published in oversized, prestige editions.

Yes, I know that. I was referring to Justice.

Oh, well, if you get the chance later on, check it out, it's a fantastic story. I was just referring to it, as it fits perfectly with the others.

I definitely will. Thanks for the recommendation.
