Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester #1 review

Hubble bubble, toil and trouble… a conclave of witches are having a night out. And a bit of a disagreement. What does best flavour the witches’ brew? A fat cat or a basted bird? To settle the matter, a representative of each creature category is sent to the Earth realm. The pussy drops in on […]

Lex Luthor/Porky Pig #1 review

Porky Pig is the big man in town, boss of a Wall Street cryptocurrencies firm. Until everything goes (pork) belly up. He’s lost it all to a hacking scandal. Money. Position in society. Girlfriend. He contemplates suicide, but can’t go through with it. Meanwhile, in Washington, greedy industrialists Dr Sivana and Professor Ivo are likewise […]

Suicide Squad Annual #1 review

The Suicide Squad are off in Atlantis, dealing with events that worry the US government. Unfortunately, crises don’t always come in ones, and back at Belle Reve, a prisoner named Cadence Laramie wakes in the medical facility. She shared a cell, but not in the conventional sense. She escapes, leaving a pile of bodies in […]

West Coast Avengers #1 review

Land sharks are attacking Santa Monica. Massive-jawed, lumbering brutes with meat on their mind. Luckily, there’s a superhero around. Unluckily for Hawkeye Kate Bishop, her skills as a bowperson aren’t a lot of good against a mob of monsters. So she’s calling for help. Two archers. That should make all the difference. Despite their longtime […]

Action Comics #1002 review

The issue opens with a recap page similar to last month’s. On the streets of Metropolis, it’s not business as usual. Daily Planet chief Perry White isn’t impressed by new reporter Robinson Goode’s apparently uncritical acceptance of the idea that the Man of Steel is murdering criminals. After tearing a strip off her, Perry lets […]

Extermination #1 review

The original X-Men are going home. Or being killed. Maybe they’re going to be absorbed into their elder selves (as the older Cyclops is currently dead, that could be interesting!). I don’t know. All I know is that this mini-series aims to clean house, get rid of the X-Men brought from the past to the […]

Aquaman #39 review

Atlantis has been raised from the sea, a subconscious wish by Aquaman acted on by magical metal. The surface world is deeply suspicious and Amanda Waller has sent the Suicide Squad to bomb Atlantis back under the water. And if some people die… …actually, despite being criminals, not all the Squad members – specifically Harley […]

Titans #24 review

Tasked with intercepting ‘Emergent’ crises, manifestations of leaked Source Wall energy among Earth’s populace, the Titans are called to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. There, they find themselves in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Or so it seems, what with ruddy great monsters, a cheeky Elf and… While clearing regular folk out of the […]

Fantastic Four #1 (2018) review

It’s back, proclaims the cover. The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine! I must have picked up the wrong book, because even allowing for hyperbole, Fantastic Four #1 is far from that. It’s certainly not awful, Dan Slott always provides something entertaining, but with the FF having been absent from shelves for years, I was hoping for something […]

Supergirl #21 review

Kandor is dead, destroyed by mad extraterrestrial Rogol Zaar. But Supergirl isn’t convinced he could commit something as big as genocide alone. She plans to fly out into space to find answers. Clark doesn’t want her to go. In National City, Kara tries to contact foster mother Eliza Danvers to say goodbye, but she not […]
