A fun romp through the many DC dimensions as Mister Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite inherently destroy each one. I like that they were able to get so many signature artists to illustrate each earth.

“Mundos morirán, mundos vivirán. Y el Universo DC seguirá siendo el mismo."
Un divertido cómic que sirve como una carta de amor/odio a los cómics de DC, disfrutando de sus mejores momentos, a la vez que critica varias malas costumbres del género, como los clichés de los 90 y el exceso de violencia.

Puede que esté leyendo demasiado, pero la pelea entre Mr. Mxyzptlk y Batmito se puede comparar con como los fans más agresivos pelean para demostrar su "pasión", pero en realidad están destruyendo aquello que dicen amar.

The best elseworld’s book, Mr Mxyzptlk is my favorite character ever. And his use here is just brilliant. Something so simple and petty is expressed brilliantly here. The fact all this chaos is sprung from a small argument and how Mxy and Batmite look back at it in hindsight like it’s just every Tuesday was shown beautifully. Awesome read if you like having fun.

The meat of this collection is a funny romp through the DC universe with Bat-Mite and Mr Mxlplxytk, drawn by a variety of artists and written by Evan Dorkin. I LdOL several times.
The balance reprints older BM & Mr M stories from over the decades, which may be of historic interest but the stories weren’t nearly as good (being stories aimed at 10 year-olds in 1965 this shouldn’t be shocking)

While there are a few good gags here, the story is nonexistent, really just a loose excuse for the artists to strut their stuff, and the jokes mostly just passable. Thankfully, it's page after page of amazing artwork.

a great fun joke !!!!

[François Vigneault · Rating 3 out of 5]

The gag is great if straightforward (even if it has been done before to darker and more powerful effect) but the art lineup is insanely stacked. Well worth a read (and it's a quick one).

A fun read. A great homage to DC Comics and pokes fun though all of it's years. Also a surprisingly amount of guest artists and writers from Frank Miller to Alex Ross and even Bruce Timm. It's fun to read about Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite going through different comic worlds and dimensions. Great for DC comic fans.

This is amazing romp through the many worlds of DC comics. You probably will appreciate it a lot more if you have read a lot of comics, otherwise, who knows?

An entertaining read that has its moments but is ultimately forgettable.

[Kris · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am not really a fan of the goofy humor of Bat-Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk and this did little to endear me to them.

[Jdetrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are some good jokes in here, although not as many as I'd hoped for. Still, its fun, and there are a ton of great artists who do some really nice work.

If you know DC comics better than I do, you'll probably like this more than I did.
