Superman #22 review

Daily Planet legends Jimmy Olsen and Perry White have been catching up over brunch, with better halves Siobhan and Alice. When they look up, up in the sky above Metropolis they spot what undoubtedly qualifies as breaking news. Superman and Superwoman confronted by an alien armada. The crew call themselves The Aftermath, and their leader […]

Justice League Unlimited #3 review

And this is what we call firing on all cylinders! Last issue the new super-Justice League foiled a plot by leftover Darkseid parademons but learned there’s another threat to Earth – a mystery organisation going by Inferno. This time, we join the heroes a week later, as they tackle a threat to Earth’s very ecosystem. […]

Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 review

Peace has broken out in the DC Universe. Well, the outer space bit that concerns the Green Lantern Corps, anyway. The war with the forces of rogue United Planets President Thaaros had been won, the world of Oa is being rebuilt and there’s time for Hal Jordan to enjoy a sandwich. Now there’s a thought […]

Action Comics #1082 review

It’s a lovely day in Metropolis… until huge boulders begin shooting through the streets and the ground cracks open. Police Chief Kekoa and colleague are saved by Superman, who then catches up with the metahuman behind the devastation – but not before finding a civilian has died under a building. There’s no resistance as Superman […]

Titans #19 review

Trying to summon a boom tube to reach the Justice League Unlimited Watchtower, Caitlin Snow is pleased by a rare display of Big Apple manners. Over the next few days, she’s feeling on the outs among socialising superheroes. Some super-folk who aren’t all in with the new League set-up are the Titans, who are eschewing […]

Batman and Robin #17 review

We’re deep into the ‘Memento’ serial and things are hotting up. At Arkham Tower to question Scarecrow Jonathan Crane about a legendary plant which may be connected to what he believes is a copycat killer homaging long-ago crimes, Batman has been caught up in a riot. Robin isn’t at his side because Damian is volunteering […]

New Champions #1 review

A lovely day in San Francisco for veteran supervillains the Brothers Grimm is rudely interrupted by unfamiliar figures. Soon they’re very familiar with the quartet of teenage heroes calling themselves The New Champions. With the bad guys in the paddy wagon, the kids go home for the evening, three to their birth parents… … one […]

Aquaman #1 review

‘Aquaman #1 review’ Gosh, I feel like I’ve typed that line a fair few times over the years – the King of the Seas just can’t keep a series. On the other hand, he’s had a couple of blockbuster big screen outings that have ensured he’s never been far from the centre of the DC […]

Shazam #19 review

There’s a lot going on as the Mr Mind storyline continues, with Mary Marvel confronting Georgia Sivana. Billy is having a heart to heart with the girl he’s been crushing on. And Freddy Freeman, also the victim of possession by the Venusian worm and cast down into the darkness, finds he’s not alone. And with […]

JSA #3 review

Hawkman died last issue. Don’t worry, it’s kind of his thing. Usually he reincarnates immediately, but this time he’s been dragged down to Hell. Dragged down by demons with familiar names. In the Earth realm, meanwhile, Justice Society of America leader Jade is given some comfort as she ponders the whereabouts of Hawkman and other […]
