World's Finest # 320, October, 1985


A busy issue but a good one as Batman finds out more of what's been going on in Superman's head and we prepare to drag our heroes directly into the CRISIS continuity already going on elsewhere.

World's Finest # 319, September, 1985


Another nice big bright cover showcasing one of the characters brings s to another nicely written and drawn tale by what has finally coalesced as the regular team.

See the ad below, however, to get an idea of just how weird things are starting to get at DC. Soon, nothing would be "regular" anymore.











So, of course, right in the middle of this intense story, we get a multi-page preview of another toy comic, this one resembling nothing less than an update of DC's old HOT WHEELS comic.



Then we throw in some recent continuity.



And an old DC villain with a cool costume.


Like I said, things were really changing! See below.


And once again continued next ish.

World's Finest # 318, August, 1985


This one's a little busy but it's a good one. A nice cover by new artist Jose Delbo but his interiors are largely covered by Alfredo Alcala's returning inks. Cavalieri is back in form with the return of the MTV (or RTV in this case) backdrop, the return of Sonik, and a well-written story that involves both a thinly-veiled Michael Jackson (then at his solo peak in the real world) and the Boy in the Plastic Bubble.
