JSA #22 review

The ‘Search for the Spectre’ four-parter concludes with a new host being found for the Ghostly Guardian, I know the clue is right there in the title, but I honestly didn’t see that happening… we’ve had former Green Lantern Hal Jordan take over from Jim Corrigan, and the unfortunately named Gotham detective Crispus Allen also […]

Batman #12 review

She arrived at the end of last issue and now we get to meet Verity Pennyworth. Great-niece of late, great manservant Alfred, she’s here to take on her relative’s duties. Not that she’s been to butler school. That’s imaginary Alfred, not a hoax, not a dream, but we could say he’s an imaginary story given […]

Justice League: Knight Vision Special #1 review

After the DC KO tournament ended, heroes and villains alike had visions of things they felt they had to do to prepare for the next big battle with Darkseid. Only Batman and probationary member Lex Luthor were denied a sneak peek at the future – until recently. And now they find themselves hunting the man […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest Annual 2026 #1 review

Now here’s an intriguing cover – Jonathan Kent and Alfred Pennyworth looking down on the city in a nod to Carmine Infantino’s classic Sixties Batman and Robin poster. The only change I’d make to Dan Mora’s design would be the removal of the combined Batman/Superman signal, it makes the page too cluttered. Inside we have […]

Superman Annual: Year One Thousand #1

The Omega Crown will never cease to be silly, yet Superman looks amazing on this cover courtesy of illustrator Eddy Barrows and colourist Alejandro Sánchez. The image is a fair play representation of what’s inside the issue, before Superman’s return to his own time, something we saw in last week’s Action Comics. What happens after […]

Green Lantern #35 review

Odyssey, time bandit from the stars and Kyle Rayner’s flatmate now he’s back living in LA, has been plucked from Earth obscurity to star in a Hollywood film. Unfortunately, pictures of her at the premiere have brought out the trolls. Having been out in space doing Green Lantern stuff for years, Kyle is shocked by […]

Action Comics #1100 review

Now that’s a cover worthy of an anniversary issue, so thanks to Ryan Sook for getting Action Comics #1100 off to a super start. Just look at those Supermen of different eras – there’s no New 52 fella, what a shame – and details such as the Lexcorp-sponsored racing car and visual pun of the […]

Superman #40 review

The ghost of Manchester Black has gained enough physicality to go toe-to-toe with Superboy Prime. But if he’s going to force the wannabe Superman to do what he wishes – use his reality altering power to reshape the world to his ends – he’s going to have to use his mental powers to sap Prime’s […]

Wonder Woman #35 review

Goodness me, I can’t remember the last time I read an issue of Wonder Woman, but Friend of the Blog Murray recommended this one. We’re knee deep in Tom King’s Matriarch storyline, which seems to be a continuation of the Sovereign business, but this is an interlude issue looking back at Diana’s origin. The set-up […]

Superman Unlimited #15 review

So yes, the young Jon Kent rescued from a volcano is not the version we knew, but his Earth 3 counterpart, the son of Ultraman of the Crime Syndicate. And having been ushered towards a red sun cage by Steel in the middle of a green kryptonite crisis, he’s freaking out. With Steel’s hammer. As […]
