Shane Davis is turning in to a real talent. The first time I noticed him was on the Mystery in Space series. I could tell right from the first issue that he was something special. But, he actually got better as the series went along. He's done a few other things since then. And now . . he's done Superman / Batman. And his work looks incredible. Of course I'll have to give some credit to Matt "Batt" Banning, his inker, too. Every panel in this issue is a work of art. Simply fantastic. I also have to give credit to Michael Green for the story. Superman has been hurt by accident, by some stray Kryptonite lying around. After Alfred operates on him, and he takes 3 days to heal, it gets him to thinking. "Lana once joked that I should just superspeed around town and collect all the Kryptonite, stick it in a garbage truck and pitch the load of it into the sun. I was thinking maybe . . . we should do it." Batman agrees, but the first thing they need to do is come up with a map. "I calibrated the JLA satellite scanner to home in on Kryptonite's specific beta decay signature. It's sensitive to the atom. Every negatron of the stuff will show up here in green. Whatever turns up we, collect." The problem is . . . the satellite picture of the globe he has . . . is practically covered in green. "We're going to need a bigger container." Cool story. These two really are . . . . the World's Finest.
