Diana and Bruce have come to break bread with Superman, but not the Superman they once knew. An unknown enemy derails these plans by laying a trap for the heroes. Each hero must confront their past.  Will this trio be able to work together enough to overcome the challenge?

Art Style

We see multiple styles through these issues, but I enjoyed the art. Manapul’s angular penciling and varied coloring create a welcome tone. Emanuela Lupacchino’s Wonder Woman is excellent, but the other characters feel cartoonish. 

Did I put it down?

Yes, the plot did not immediately grab me. I wanted something that picked up where the exciting story from Son of Superman ended.

Content

The novel is light on heavy content. We see comic violence.

Would I recommend Better Together?

I was excited about this one.  Some of my favorite stories have included team-ups.  These are DC’s feature characters, and I expected them to go all out. 

This novel did not live up to that hype.  That is not to say it is without merit. The writers develop and guide well-known characters through a clear narrative. I was confused initially as it progressed, but this resolved over time.
