His state has come to the attention of the immortal guardian of Metropolis, Marilyn Moonlight. Superman wants her to help find Pharm and Graft, mortal enemies of Lex Luthor who, […]

New History of the DC Universe #1 review

In 1986, over two issues, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, Karl Kesel and Tom Ziuko told us the new history of the DC Universe. Readers had questions after the Crisis on Infinite Earths shmooshed together five parallel DC Earths. In 2025 we’re getting four issues and we’re not coming out of a Crisis event. We’re coming […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #40 review

I’m just an old-fashioned boy and I love an old-fashioned superhero romp. And that’s just what we get in the latest between-big-storylines issue of World’s Finest. Gotham Police Commissioner Jim Gordon is in Metropolis for a chat show appearance, and he’s nervous. But help is at hand. There to support his friend, Bruce Wayne’s attention […]

Superman Unlimited #2 review

What’s the definition of unconvincing? Journalists Lois Lane and Ron Troupe find out as the President of the country of El Caldero explains that he doesn’t want an official Daily Planet globe, as doled out to members of its new affiliates programme. And when the President’s punny personal guard, the Krypto-Knights, refer to him as […]

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #1 review

This review could be boiled down to one word – Awwwww. I’ve always been a fan of the Dog of Steel. Well, the real one anyway, not the post-Crisis lizard thing or the grumpy Super-Marmaduke. There’s only one Krypto, and he’s a small fella of indeterminate breed. And that’s official! Published to coincide with Krypto’s […]

Luckily one of […]

Justice League: The Atom Project #6 review

It’s the finale to a series that has shown a certain consistency – it’s been consistently disappointing. I won’t repeat points made in previous reviews, optimism has kept me buying – let’s see if my fantastically open heart is rewarded. What’s been going on? Amanda Waller stole super powers from lots of heroes. The heroes […]

JSA #8 review

In a flashback tale the Justice Society of America quest for the Spear of Destiny in Berlin and find super-villains trying to use it to summon monsters from a nether realm. First of all, though, would you look at that cover? Michael Cho uses his retro style to give us an image that wouldn’t shame […]
