Retro Review: Justice League of America #145 (August 1977)

So come with me back to, well, half an hour ago when I finished the comic, for a tale of the JLA when they were at their most iconic, the Satellite Era. When the World’s Greatest Superheroes watched over the planet’s population from – all together now – 22,300 miles above Earth. Before the story, […]

Superwoman #10 review

Lana Lang is fighting… someone. We can see the arms, and readers of Superman past with particularly sharp visual recall might recognise the villain as Skyhook, a monster who stole children from the streets of Metropolis. Flash back several years and Natasha, niece of Lana’s boyfriend John Henry Irons, gets herself home after her no-good […]

Titans #11 review

Years ago, young supervillain Grant Wilson, the Ravager, died while operating as an agent of the HIVE. His father Slade, aka Deathstroke the Terminator, blamed the Titans, who were fighting Grant at the time. Today, the Titans are again fighting HIVE operatives. At least they think they are. It turns out they’re imposters, hired to, […]

Too Dangerous For a Girl’s European Vacation

Well, it looks like no reviews from me until I get back to the UK from a cruise down the Western Mediterranean on Sunday. Action Comics and Titans are ready to go but it’s a bugger getting them uploaded. My apologies (not that it’ll ruin anyone’s day!). Be well, catch you soon.

Action Comics #979 review

Clark and Lois are in the market for a property. Now they’re both back at the Daily Planet a long commute to Hamilton makes no sense, says Lois. So they’re looking at a duplex – top-floor, so Superman can better fly off on business – and hoping son Jon won’t be too upset about moving […]

The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom #5 review

A freak connection to Captain Atom has made condemned man Max Thrane a quantum killer. He’s beaten Cap – Nathaniel Adam – and gone on the run, but is our hero’s boss, General Eiling, worried about what he may do next? Nope, the man is addicted to lying, alway finding some excuse to disseminate that ol’ […]

Superman #22 review

Lois Kent is worried. Husband Clark, son Jon and family friends Bruce and Damian have gone missing. And whatever can stop Superman, Superboy, Batman and Robin returning begs to be investigated. Luckily, Lois Kent is also Lois Lane, one of the world’s top investigative reporters. Outside her home, the tree often occupied by Jon and […]

The Flash #21 review

The Reverse-Flash, Professor Zoom, is dead. Batman, savagely beaten by him, is recovering. And the Fastest CSI Alive is on the case. Finding his own energy signature all over Zoom’s corpse, Barry fears that perhaps he’s Zoom’s killer, at some point yet to come. In Bruce Wayne’s bedroom, the heroes discuss Zoom’s claim, before he […]

Action Comics #978 review

Superman continues his trip into the past via the Fortress of Solitude’s crystal collection (not available on QVC). Having been told by Mr Mxyzptlk that his history was altered, he’s out to learn what doesn’t match his memories. The problem is, that as his memories were tweaked, reality was tweaked too, so what he sees is […]

Superwoman #9 review

After Superman Reborn, here’s Lana Lang Reborn – the super-powers she recently gained were killing her but at the start of this issue, she’s healthy once more. Spat out of the Kryptonian warsuit that was keeping her alive, covered in cosmic-amniotic fluid, she’s a little dazed. As she regains her composure, Superman’s all-purpose robot, Kelex, […]
