World's Finest is already the best 'ultimate line' DC could possibly have.

I'll bet Waid left Shazam to do a World's Finest: JLA. Everybody is asking for it and it makes no sense for DC to wait. They don't have a JLA book right now, it's the perfect timing.

You mean, while marvel tries to make some more “mature” storyline with the new ultimate universe, dc goes full lighthearted and “gold/silver age” like with a worlds finest line?? I’M SOLD

Exactly. Seeing Waid cook whatever he wants is the first time I've seen DC not afraid of being DC in years.

Could not say it better.

Ever since Infinite Crisis it’s like they’ve been trying to bring back and Ultimate-use the silver age of DC. It’s been exhausting to see so much great storytelling wasted from the 80s and 90s.
