Superman #41 review

It’s the middle of the Kingdom of Zod but don’t expect the usual water treading here. As Superman battles General Zod in the Kryptonite Kingdom, a prediction made by the Time Trapper a while back comes true. So unnecessary. Superman had appealed to the Phantom Zone criminal to resume their uneasy truce. After Superman is […]

Superman Unlimited #16 review

Lois Lane is in dire straits, captured by Zod and liable to be fried if she gets too annoying… but every time we see her during a desperate battle between the forces of the Kryptonian villain and the Super Family, she’s smiling. And I’m not surprised – this issue had me smiling too. The people […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #54 review

War is about to break out between two DC Universe Madeupistans. Superman and Batman are wondering how to calm things down. So much for ‘pretend ghost’ – our heroes instantly find themselves in a place they’ve been previously, the Hell realm ruled by Neron. And they’re not the only heroes drafted in by the mystery […]

Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos #1 review

Well, that was quick. A little under a year since Batman & Robin Year One #12, and here’s a second maxi-series. And I couldn’t be happier to see it, writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee’s creative cross-pollination has produced some great comics. And we have another one here. As the title makes clear, DC […]

The Fury of Firestorm #5 review

We open with a cracking cover from illustrator Rafael De Latorre and colourist Marcelo Maiolo, with the Firestorm of different time periods facing two of his staunchest allies. On the left, Hawkman, his onetime Justice League of America colleague. And on the right, Firehawk, Ronnie Raymond’s former girlfriend. Previous issues of this mini-series have set […]

Supergirl #16 review

It’s the start of a Super-Family event and first to hold the baton is Supergirl. With Superman awol, she’s decided to step up and deal with the El Caldero problem. Recently a massive Green Kryptonite meteor fell to Earth, bringing with it pieces of Kryptonian culture and technology. Kara is particularly irked that a sunstone […]

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 […]
