Superboy/Robin World's Finest Three book one


Superboy/Robin:World's Finest Three #1
1996
To my mind one of the worthiest issue featuring Poison Ivy in her old human look. I so love Tom Grummet and Scott Hanna's artwork in this issue. That's wonderful! To sum up Gotham City is taken over by this big cyborg who is Metallo. The latter uses the power of a nuclear reactor to take over Gotham and Robin the Boy Wonder is compelled to call Superboy in reinforcements. The two of them will make the third World's Finest. A very nice cross over. Meanwhile Poison Ivy manages to escape from Arkham by simulating illness. She growns to like Superboy after he saved a Greenhouse Metallo was about to damage. Ivy seduces him with her pheromonal kiss and the two of them fly to Hawaï, which leads Robin to dire strait: the K ring. Best line: Ivy to Superboy: "Where have you been all my life?"
