Green Lantern #22 review

Look at writer Jeremy Adams breaking the rules. First of all we have the big confrontation with classic Green Lantern annoyance Hector Hammond… … ending five pages into the issue. Then we have the return of a long-gone superhero with not a hint of it on the cover. You know, Dan Garrett, the first… Oi! […]

Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor #3 review

Superman and Lex Luthor have been taken for a ride. The disease Lex thought he’d developed due to an accident has turned out to be part of a plot against the Man of Steel by computer conqueror Brainiac. Despite his lack of powers, Superman has faith the Justice League and Earth’s other heroes will step […]

Superman #25 review

A brilliant issue. Buy it. Too pithy? OK then, it’s the 25th issue of Joshua Williamson’s Superman series and it’s the culmination of pretty much all the ongoing plotlines. You may remember that last issue we learned that Lex Luthor’s Girlfriend, Mercy Graves, wasn’t too happy with the kinder, softer scientist of recent months. So […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #38 review

A few years ago, Clark (Superman) Kent is alongside Bruce (Batman) Wayne, reporting on the latest Waynetech jet as piloted by Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan. Above Africa, though, the plane runs into trouble, and Hal vanishes. Literally. Soon his abductor makes himself known. Superman and Batman call in fellow Justice Leaguer Barry Allen, the Flash, […]

Summer of Superman Special #1 review

It’s been a while since the Superman books had a refresh, but with the new movie coming in July, DC has decided to not only spruce up Action Comics and Superman, but add a third monthly title, Superman Unlimited. And to launch the initiative, here’s a one-off story written by continuing Superman writer Joshua Williamson, […]

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 review

Hey, it’s The Amazing Spider-Man #1, I’ve not reviewed one of those since 2018! I liked that one, but quickly fell off the series – too many gangsters. So how’s the latest debut issue? Pretty great, actually. I was grabbed from the opening scene, vignettes of Peter Parker interviewing for a new job, starting with […]

Action Comics #1085 review

Superman helps climate crisis scientists defend their research from sabotage, cybernetically enhanced polar bears and retro robots – and behind the scenes, there’s a classic supervillain. Doesn’t that sound fun? And it is, in parts. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Superman dresses for Greenland. Later, after the bears have vanished – literally. It’s nice, […]

This week I also read…

… not much, Steve and I are on a seven-night voyage sailing from Southampton, UK, to Boston, US. Well, that was the plan, but predicted bad weather in the Atlantic turned it into a ten-day cruise from Southampton, UK, to New York, US. Bang went our planned dinner with Dr Anj of Supergirl Comic Box Commentary fame, […]

JSA #6 review

It’s a tale of two Wildcats as the Ragnarok storyline goes on and on… I guess that’s Ragnarok for you. The original Wildcat, Ted Grant, shows fighting ability isn’t the only reason he’s been such an asset to the Justice Society of America since the beginning. He doesn’t have a magic lantern, wings or a […]

Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1 review

Mitch Shelley is back. Every time he dies, he returns with a new super power. In the past death has come with alarming frequency, as he found himself dragged into one battle after another. It’s a while since the heroes of the DC Universe have heard from him. He’s been taking a break. Sneaking off […]
