Superman/Batman #75 Review

So far this year, DC Comics seems to have many anniversary issues in the pipeline. After Superman #700, Batman #700, and Wonder Woman #600, we are graced with Superman/Batman #75. Anniversary issues seem to generally gather some of the most prolific writers and artists in the company and put together a super-sized issue with many stories and art pages highlighting certain characters. The issues don't seem to follow the
current story arc.

The issue starts off with a story by Paul Levitz featuring the Legion of Superheroes teaming up with Batman. The art is by Jerry Ordway and is some of his best art in quite some time. After that, there are quite a few two page spreads by comic notables such as Azzarello, Finch, Manapul, and Bermejo. One of the many little strips that I found quite entertaining was the work by Azzarello and Bermejo. It features Superman and Batman's greatest foes, Lex Luthor and the Joker. What makes this strip stand out is that it is done in the style of Calvin and Hobbes. Another strip that that is quite interesting is one that features Conner Kent and Damian Wayne. Set in the future, Conner has taken on the role of Superman and Damian is now Batman. They meet in front of a statue dedicated to the Man of Steel and The Dark Knight.

Superman/Batman #75 is a great milestone for the series. Many great artists and writers were called together to assemble an issue that pays homage to all aspects of Superman and Batman. The issue is definitely worth taking a look at.
