Superman #14 review

Intersecting with where Supergirl #14 left off last week, we see Kara arrive at Clark Kent’s apartment by the front door, compromising his dual identity. Before we catch up to that, though, Lois Lane drops by Clark’s place to ask him to reconsider last issue’s sudden resignation from his Daily Planet job. The conversation soon […]

FF #1 review

Captain Marvel #7 review

Avengers Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau have both had a torrid time when it comes to settling on a codename but there’s one that each has used – Captain Marvel. Monica adopted it at the start of her heroic career, Carol has taken it up only recently. And the move is a source of tension […]

Supergirl #14 review

In Superman #13, Supergirl was furious to find Kal-El putting down a Kryptonian dragon. Sure, it had been attacking Earth, but so far as Kara’s concerned, anything Kryptonian is sacrosanct. This issue, the start of the H’El on Earth crossover between Supergirl, Superboy and Superman, begins with the Super-Cousins watching a post mortem on the […]

Captain America #1 review

After years of super-serious, super-spy action, the Captain America series tries a new direction – Jack Kirby craziness. The relaunched Marvel Now! title looks back for inspiration to the Seventies, when Cap’s co-creator wrote and drew the adventures of the Sentinel of Liberty, and far-out was the order of the day. While incoming writer Rick Remender emulates The King’s […]

X-Men: Legacy #1 review

This comic book boasts a fantastic collage cover – take a bow Mike Del Mundo – and a good joke relating to the protagonist’s hair. Which is something. I began reading this with my supper, got two pages in, and swapped it for the new Wolverine and the X-Men, which was pretty good, thank you […]

Avengers Assemble #9 review

They’re both scientific geniuses, but Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are poles apart. Tony is a futurist, believing that technological breakthroughs can only make things better, while Bruce is wary of unfettered change. Tony’s also a gamesplayer, and he suggests that he and Banner race to Antarctica to check on some scientists cut off by […]

After a trip to dinosaur days with Sue, Ben and Johnny, Reed retreats to his lab to his lab to check out an arm injury he’s picked up. It turns out that his powers are fading – he’s breaking apart physically … and if it’s happening to him, surely the rest of the Fantastic Four […]
