World's Finest Deluxe (2026 Edition)

Dave Gibbons and Steve Rude bring unmistakable precision and character insight to one of the greatest team-up stories of the 1990s—now available in a stunning Deluxe Edition. 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 (Nexus, The Moth), 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 Deluxe Edition presents the full miniseries with restored detail, behind-the-scenes extras, and oversized pages worthy of its renowned creative team. Collects World's Finest (1990) #1-3.
