It’s Superman and Luthor’s last stand, but it’s not against one another – they’re united against L’Call and Zade. The alien powerhouses want to execute Lex for crimes they believe he’ll commit. Superman has crossed light years because he won’t condemn a man in the belief millions of lives will be saved – he knows the […]

Superman #15 review

Multiplicity continues with our Superman leading Justice League Incarnate on a rescue mission. They’re out to extract the Supermen of as many worlds as possible before the hungry hordes of a villain known only as Prophecy can consume them.

Action Comics #971 review

Superman is convinced. L’Call the Godslayer and partner Zade have shown the Man of Steel visions of a future in which Lex Luthor is the new Darkseid.

Knowing he’s from the future and obsessed with the Titans, they figure that’s where they need to be. So they’re building a headquarters and equipping themselves for action. With […]

Justice League vs Suicide Squad #4 review

Dr Polaris. Emerald Empress. Rustam. Lobo. Johnny Sorrow. Five of the toughest nuts around, under the leadership of master manipulator Maxwell Lord. That’s a formidable batch of badness. Superman. Enchantress. Wonder Woman. Captain Boomerang. Flash. Killer Croc. Batman. Harley Quinn. Cyborg. Rick Flag. Katana. El Diablo. Killer Frost. Two Green Lanterns. And Amanda Waller barking […]

The Unstoppable Wasp #1 review

The Mighty Thor. The Invincible Iron Man. The Incredible Hulk… Marvel have long loved their adjectives, and now here’s another – Unstoppable. It’s not a word you’d immediately associate with a tiny character. Indeedy, original insect Avenger Janet Van Dyne used to describe herself as ‘the Winsome Wasp’. So why ‘unstoppable’? That’s revealed at the […]
