Future State: Kara Zor-El, Superwoman #1 review

‘Years from now’, Kara Zor-El has abandoned Earth for a new life as protector of a moon colony of displaced humans. She tends to this new world, and she tends to a grave. But even as the only Super-game in town, Kara can’t find happiness. One day, a mysterious teenager lands in a rocket. They […]

Future State: The Flash #1 review

Dale Eaglesham’s art is stunning in this speedster-centric entry in DC’s two-month event. Heroes and villains move across the pages in sleek, dynamic compositions.

Brandon Peterson’s cover […]

Everyone knows reality is going to be rewritten any minute so few folk seem to be taking things seriously. By the power of Just […]
