The Flash #793 review

Flash Gordon had 14 hours to save the Earth. The Flash Family have maybe a minute… Earth is under seige as alien conquerors The Fraction enact their plan to steal the planet’s resources, killing the population along the way. Their connection to the Speed Force means the World’s Greatest Superheroes are too slow to have […]

Superman/Batman: World’s Finest #12 review

Supergirl and Robin go on a date. There a monkey on the loose. That’s all it takes to spark one of the best DC comics we’ll get this year. Writer Mark Waid is a master when it come to depicting superheroes with personality, building off classic characterisations and adding insights that, while logical, haven’t been […]

Superman #1 review

It’s a brand new day in Metropolis, with Superman still basking in the joy of being home after his Warworld adventure. The villains are low stakes… … the Daily Planet is ticking over… … and with Lex Luthor in prison, Lexcorp is… …Supercorp? That’s unexpected. It seems that Superman having turned down Lex’s offer of […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #5 review

There’s not a lot of Batman in this issue. There’s more Scooby-Doo and friends, but there’s no denying the star of ‘Rat’s All Folks’ is Batwoman. It’s a refreshing change to have another Batman Family member team up with Mystery Inc, as Batman tackles an off-panel alien invasion with the Justice League. So what’s the […]

Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 review

Another week, another Lazarus Planet anthology, with another meaningless subtitle. May as well call it Lazarus Planet: Random Doomy Words. You know the deal by now. Magic green rain is coming down, people are getting super powers, blah blah. This one I’ve been looking forward to, though, as it brings the return of the Doom […]

Legion of Super-Heroes 2023 animation review

At a time when the Legion of Super-Heroes are once again without a comic series, a new feature-length cartoon starring them gets my attention. The fact it features Supergirl, another favourite without a comics spotlight, as our PoV character makes it an immediate watch. The feature opens with a pre-credits origin of Supergirl, showing her […]

Avengers: War Across Time #2 review

Fun. That’s the only word to describe this throwback Marvel comic. If you bought the first issue of the mini-series, or read my thoughts, you’ll know it’s set between issues #11 and #12 of the classic Avengers, with the team facing Kang the Conqueror after their first encounter with the time tyrant. I loved it, […]

Lazarus Planet: Next Evolution #1 review

And the Lazarus Planet spin-offs keep on coming. For weeks DC has been putting out anthologies, with at least four stories per issue showing us the effects of the magical Lazarus Resin spewed out across the earth by a crossover event. And some of the issues have been pretty decent reads. This one, though, is […]

Harley Quinn Romances #1 review

Now there’s a clever title for the annual giant love anthology from DC. OK, it took me a second to get it, as in the UK we don’t have Harlequin Romances, but it’s undeniably smart. As are the stories in this 86pp spectacular. OK, they aren’t all to my taste, but none are less than […]

The Flash: One Minute War Special #1 review

I didn’t know we were getting a One Minute War Special but here it is, four stories adding background and texture before The Flash Family’s struggle against space conquerors The Fraction continues in the now-fortnightly Flash series. First, Flash writer Jeremy Adams dumps the mystery to reveal the history of The Fraction. Having discovered the […]
