New Avengers Annual #3 review

I’m not a regular New Avengers reader, I’m more a Mighty boy, but if this is the beginning of the end for Dark Reign, I want in. So, moving quickly on from the fact that this is a big old rip-off in terms of price – $4.99 for 32pp of story, with a long ad […]

Titans #20 review

The Titans continues pretending it’s not been cancelled due to lack of interest with the latest solo issue. Featured here is Donna Troy, patron saint of frogs killed by dissection, in a simple tale of girl meets boy meets Fearsome Five. Donna’s feeling a bit mopey so jumps – or rather, flies – at the […]

Secret Six #16 review

In the DC Universe there are men who fantasize about sex with Mr Mxyzptlk. That’s the only conclusion to be taken from the scene this issue in which Deadshot and Catman take wannabe Secret Six member Black Alice to the strip club. There, exotic dancers appear as female versions of Mr Freeze, Eclipso and more. […]

Batman Unseen #5 review

Doug Moench and Kelley Jones conclude their ‘lost tale of Bruce Wayne as Batman’. Where it fits into continuity isn’t important – at a guess, after Dick Grayson became a full time Titan, given the presence of my favourite Gotham cop, Harvey Bullock – as everything you need to appreciate the tight five-part story is […]

Black Widow and the Marvel Girls #1 review

I’d not heard of this book until I saw the iFanboy listing for this week’s comics, but the prospect of Black Widow teaming up with four other Marvel women has a certain appeal. First off we have the Asgardian Enchantress – that’s Amora – teaching the young Natasha Romanov a lesson that will stand her […]

JSA All-Stars #1 review

I’m rather pleased to see the Justice Society of America split into a pair of teams, as of late the sheer number of characters has proven unwieldy, with no writer of today seemingly willing or able to share out the panel time in the way classic writers of similarly sized team The Legion of Super-Heroes […]

Blackest Night: The Flash #1 review

Behind a clever cover by Scott Kolins homaging the recent Flash: Rebirth #1 we see what’s going on in Central City as the Black Lanterns rise. Barry Allen zips around warning the meta-community to be on their guard, before racing to Africa’s Gorilla City where he hopes wise King Solovar will have some ideas on […]

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1 review

Years ago, Wonder Woman felt forced to snap the neck of friend-turned-foe Max Lord. Courtesy of the Blackest Night crossover, he’s back, murdering the innocents of Washington DC, successfully drawing Diana to him. The MO of the Black Lanterns being to feed on the emotions of the living, he thinks Diana’s anger is a sure […]
