Justice League Unlimited #10 review

The Time Trapper, nee Doomsday, is attacked in Hypertime by Darkseid’s Legion of Super-Heroes. Mortally wounded, he manages to get back to the Justice League Watchtower, where the heroes on hand try to help him. Some kind of auto-defence system won’t let the Flash, Steel. Black Lightning, Blue Beetle and Star Sapphire get near without […]

Superman #29 review

Now here’s a cover guaranteed to put this comic at the top of my reading pile – a devastated Superman mourning the loss of his old friends in the Legion of Super-Heroes. Artist Dan Mora has come up with the perfect tombstone for what looks like a headless Superman to stare at. Speaking of headless, […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #42 review

Superman, Batman and Robin have found themselves on the Bizarro World, where a mystery plague is driving the residents un-mad. Having evaded an attack by the hordes of Htrae, the heroes have come across a familiar – but unfamiliar – pair.

The latest Justice League Unlimited spin-off series promises Power Girl, Green Lantern Simon Baz, Red Tornado, Cyborg, Red Canary and Deadman.

A knock on the farmhouse door brings a surprise for Jonathan, Martha and Clark Kent. Clark’s history teacher Mr Blake declares he knows he’s been facing Superboy in class, but has no intention of revealing his secret to the world ‘tonight’. Because he’s a hero too. Taking the family out to look at the stars, […]

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 review

Examining a meteoroid, Superman’s robots make a worrying discovery. Luthor does know, and he’s grimacing rather than salivating, angry that science lead Dr Emil Hamilton didn’t find the space rocks before Superman. The Man of Steel wants to know how four new colours of Kryptonite might affect him, so calls in the World’s Greatest Detective. […]

Supergirl #4 review

Lesla-Lar, the Supergirl fan who tried to steal Supergirl’s life, is back home in Kandor, facing a court… presided over by her parents, which seems a bit of a conflict of interest. By her side is Kara, also accused of bad behaviour. Supergirl has another suggestion – she believes Lesla has the makings of a […]

One World Under Doom #6 review

Well, that looks painful. Victor Von Doom takes Reed Richards apart on Ben Harvey’s creepy cover. Dr Doom rips Mr Fantastic apart inside the issue too, but with words rather than metal gauntlets. The Latverian dictator and longtime Fantastic Four foe has taken over the world. Having become Sorceror Supreme when he was key to […]

JSA #10 review

Even without the red spectacles, this is an eye-catching cover from Leonardo Romero. A couple of issues back the new Kid Eternity, who can’t remember who she was while alive, was confronted by the ghosts of Justice Society members. It made for a cracking cliffhanger- what did they want with her? But last month neither […]
