DC Digital Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman #22 review

Wonder Woman is on the Isle of Cats, rescuing Batman and Superman from the terrible trio of Medusa, Circe and – who else? – the Cheetah. Circe wants to make Diana her latest piggy, Medusa wants to add the Amazing Amazon to her statue collection and Circe desires the Lasso of Truth. Wonder Woman dispatches […]

The Multiversity: Guidebook #1 review

There’s a new crisis in the Multiverse, as the Gentry travels from world to world, killing superbeings and razing planets. A comic book has alerted mad scientist Dr Sivana to the fact of his other-dimensional counterparts, and he’s been gathering them in a bid for multiversal supremacy. Can the L’il League of Earth 42 stop […]

Batman #38 review

Batman isn’t quite at his wits’ end dealing with the latest attack on Gotham by the Joker, but for once he doesn’t have a plan. In Endgame’s fourth chapter, the Clown Prince of Crime’s madness virus is claiming more and more victims, and if a cure isn’t found, death is the end. It seems death […]

Teen Titans #6 review

When it was announced that the new Power Girl was joining the Teen Titans, I was dubious. I remember Tanya Spears from Worlds’ Finest and liked her well enough, but she’s strong and invulnerable, and the Titans already have that in Wonder Girl. I like varied power sets. Boy, was I wrong. The arrival of […]

DC Digital – Wonder Woman ’77 #3 review

It’s Thursday night and Wonder Woman starring Lynda Carter is on! Not on the telly. On my tablet. In just three instalments, Wonder Woman ’77 has become a high point of the week, as writer Marc Andreyko and a team of artists takes us back to the Seventies for a superheroic soufflé of wacky wonderment. This chapter […]

Supergirl #38 review

Kara’s Crucible adventure continues with her fighting alongside fellow students Maxima, Comet and Tsavo to protect the latter’s homeworld, Ngo. But that’s not how the book opens. In a cute switch, the first narrator isn’t Kara, but Kon – Superboy, back on Earth after three years of being battered by dodgy editorial directions. He’s in […]

Wonder Woman #38 review

Gosh, look at that cover – all boobs and blood. I bet that’ll sell to the 13-year-olds. Well done DC! Sarcasm aside, I like the design, but the details… get a grip. This month there’s a brazen crime on Paradise Island. An entire scene goes missing. Apparently. Having seen a friend die due to an […]

Batman/Superman #18 review

Superman has his own Joker, an adversary who doesn’t want to rule the world so much as watch him suffer. And how do you make an invulnerable man hurt? By attacking the people who matter to him. Not just friends, but those he’s saved over the years, folk who have gone on to make more […]

SHIELD #2 review

I enjoyed the first issue of Marvel TV tie-in SHIELD lots. I enjoyed this second instalment lots more. The opening story was sprawling, epic stuff which still found room for some nice character bits. This time it’s a much smaller-scale tale, offering plenty of room for even more great moments with its tighter cast. The […]

Batgirl #38 review

The Batgirl of Burnside is a thing. The hipsters are wild about her, she’s the queen of social media. And Barbara Gordon has begun to enjoy the attention, revelling in being asked for autographs and selfies. Old friend and former crimefighter Black Canary, aka Dinah Lance, is singularly unimpressed. She thinks Babs has regressed to […]
