Green Arrow #3 review

It’s all go for the Green Arrow family. As Oliver Queen and Lian Harper are pinged from an alien world to Earth’s future by forces unknown and encounter Ollie’s long-lost son Conner Hawke… … Dinah Lance and Roy Harper have broken into Belle Reve prison in an attempt to find out who’s determined to stop […]

Superman #5 review

An amped-up Silver Banshee has attacked Superman. The Man of Steel isn’t thrilled but it’s worse for the screaming demon – onetime supervillain Siobhan had reformed and was making a new life in Metropolis. She’s being forced to take on Superman by the happily evil Dr Pharm, who similarly manipulated the Parasite. Siobhan’s banshee scream […]

The Incredible Hulk #1 review

A new creative team brings a new number one for the Hulk and it looks like Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein are going to make a suitably big impact. Klein’s cover shows a very sad Bruce Banner in the shadow of the looming Hulk, with a smattering of bad beasties ready to strike. ‘The […]

Wonder Woman #800 review

Having recently been elevated to godhood Diana has repaired to the Amazon Isle of Healing where she hopes a mystical dream state will put her in touch with the humanity she fears she’s losing. Cue encounters with the current Wonder Girl, the often obnoxious Yara Flor. … Donna Troy, the sweet original Wonder Girl… … […]

Nightwing #105 review

Eighteen months ago we had a remarkable issue of Nightwing in which writer-artist partnership Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo told the story via one panel that stretched across 20 or so pages. That went down a storm and now Dick Grayson’s daddies are trying another high concept in a story entitled ‘You are Nightwing’. Redondo’s […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9 review

That’s a pretty fun cover – given how often Mystery Inc visit Gotham, a Scooby signal seems entirely appropriate. It’s a bit of a shame that it represents the final page splash, but never mind, there’s lots of great stuff before that. This issue’s hi-jinks kick off with Batman, Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon in Crystal […]

Green Lantern #2 review

Back on Earth after years as a sky-rider of the spaceways, Green Lantern Hal Jordan is trying to rebuild his life on Earth. First and foremost, that means he needs a paying job. He’s sold toys, he’s pushed insurance, even driven a truck, but flying is where Hal’s heart is. And so he’s back at […]

Steelworks #1 review

John Henry Irons, genius engineer and sometime superhero Steel, has an announcement to make. He plans to make a better Metropolis, a safer city. Too many times the ‘City of Tomorrow’ has been razed by powerful, malevolent threats. Too many times the people have lost everything, from property to lives. But now, with access to […]

The Flash #800 review

‘A celebration of Wally West’ is what the copy atop Taurin Clarke’s slick cover illustration promises, and while this anniversary issue doesn’t always keep the focus on the third hero to ride the thunderbolt, it’s a cracking anthology. Most recent writer Jeremy Adams kicks off the issue with a villain tale, but for once it’s […]

DC Pride 2023 #1 review

Finally, I remember that I don’t have to buy a DC giant digitally because it goes into the DC Infinite app on the same day. DC wants their annual Pride anthology to be as available to as many people as possible, which is very commendable. I apologise in advance if I mangle anyone’s pronouns. I […]
