Wolverine and the X-Men #14 review

Once they were Love’s Young Dream. Now Kitty Pryde and Peter Rasputin are on opposite sides of the Avengers vs X-Men conflict. While Shadowcat tries to keep the Jean Grey School running with most of the staff off fighting alongside the Phoenix Five, Colossus – empowered by the cosmic force – has been changing the […]

Superman Family Adventures #3 review

While this week’s Superman promises secrets of the new super-suit and fails to deliver, Superman Family Adventures promises no such thing, but tells us a secret anyway: why the new suit was necessary. OK, the reason is never going to be canon, but I laughed. I laughed a lot this issue, as the book really […]

Superman 11 review

How’s that for a cover line? I’m down to learn the ‘secrets of the suit’. Why does the invulnerable Superman wear an armoured union suit? We know, courtesy of Action Comics, that it has morphing abilities, can take on different looks, but that’s an aspect we’ve not seen Superman actively use. So what else can […]

National Comics #1 Eternity review

Christopher Freeman died, returned to life and now he has the ability to summon the newly slain, with a 24-hour deadline to solve their murders. In this debut story he’s compelled to team up with the ghost of an antiques dealer, while trying to save his job with the Coroner’s office – his boss is […]

Legion of Super-Heroes #11 review

When DC’s New 52 initiative began, only three franchises escaped the big reboot – Batman, Green Lantern and the Legion of Super-Heroes. With other DC Universe books we have little idea of who the characters are, how many of their old stories ‘happened’. Not so with Batman, GL and the Legion. And of the three, […]

Justice League #11

The Justice League members recover from the assault of their opponent, memory manipulator David Graves, only to find him gone. Gone to the home of Tracy Trevor, sister of their government liaison, Steve Trevor. Boom Tube teleportation gets the team there just as he’s blipping out, having terrified Tracy with tales of what he has […]

Captain Marvel #1 review

New name, new costume, new attitude – that’s Carol Danvers as she gets another crack at a solo series. The last Ms Marvel title saw Carol determined to step up in the ranks of Earth’s superheroes, prove to everyone – and herself – that she could be the best of the best. That didn’t quite […]

Fantastic Four Annual #33 review

Babysitting the Baxter Building while the Invisible Woman and Mr Fantastic holiday with the kids, the Thing and Human Torch become embroiled in a time travelling, dimension spanning tale guest starring Dr Strange. Also sharing the spotlight is Vincent, the most mysterious member of the Clan Destine, a genie/human hybrid family who prefer to enjoy […]

Batman #11 review

It’s Batman vs Owlman in the finale to the Court of Owls storyline. Lincoln March, now claiming to be Thomas Wayne Jr, snares Batman and drags him into the sky to show off his version of Gotham – a twisted reflection of the one Bruce Wayne knows. Batman takes a fair few knocks, but finally […]

Avenging Spider-Man #9 review

Her new comic isn’t out until next week, but here’s our first look at Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel. The former Ms Marvel/Binary/Warbird/Ms Marvel (again) teams up with Spider-Man for … a flight to Boston. Having bought a light aircraft, Carol is giving Peter Parker a lift to the city, where Aunt May now lives. […]
