Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #2 review

It’s been a long wait for the second issue of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a tortuous one given how wonderful that first instalment last autumn was. But the comic’s back, picking up right where we left off, with the hell whore that is Madam Satan returning from the Underworld after a spell. The issue follows […]

Convergence: Justice League International #1

The members of Justice League International have spent a year under Brainiac’s dome, protecting Metropolis as best they can. This issue begins with them taking on Metallo and his robot army, with Blue Beetle leading a mostly powerless team. Mostly? Yes, because while Fire, Captain Atom, Ice and the Martian Manhunter have been cut off […]

Convergence: Supergirl Matrix #1

Years ago, Lex Luthor was an Australian clone of himself. And Supergirl was a shapeshifting, telekinetic blob. It sounds daft, but the situation was played straight in the Superman titles of the time, and it made for good drama. This Convergence tie-in, though, sees writer Keith Giffen play the scenario for cheap – but funny […]

Convergence: Speed Force #1

Can you hear me Tony Bedard? Because I’m clapping. Applauding you for the single best Convergence tie-in of the week. If anyone hasn’t read it, here’s the gen… The Flash, Wally West, is speeding to Gotham City to answer a Justice League alert. He’s taken kids Iris and Jae along with him because he reckons […]

Convergence: The Titans #1 review

In the year since Brainiac kidnapped Gotham City, placing it under a dome that takes away any superhuman abilities or advantages, sidekick-turned-adult hero Roy Harper has been doing good in a new way. A grant from the Wayne Foundation has funded a community centre in late daughter Lian’s name, and he’s keeping an eye out […]

Convergence: The Atom #1

You know the Convergence score by now. Cities from different realities have been placed under domes. New villain Telos wants heroes to fight for the right to party … er, regain their world. Gotham City was suddenly everyone’s favourite vacation destination. Including Ray Palmer. And Deathstroke. The latter has been lying low for a year, […]

Convergence: Justice League #1 review

One year ago, the female Justice League members were at a baby shower in Gotham City for Jesse Quick, when the baby arrived quicker than expected. Supergirl flew Jesse to hospital while Zatanna, Vixen and Jade followed, laden down with gifts. And that’s when the city was surrounded by an unbreakable, super-power-sucking dome, and transported […]

Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle #1 review

If Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson used Facebook, they might define their relationship status as ‘complicated . Their love for one another is obvious – this Convergence micro-series sees them working as crimefighting partners, with massive affection for one another, and faith in each other’s crimefighting abilities. On the other hand, Dick can’t decide to […]

Convergence: Superman #1

They’ve been stuck under an impenetrable, power-dampening dome for a year, but are Superman and Lois Lane downhearted? Are they heck? Clark is on the streets doing his best to fight crime like a minor league Batman, while Lois is his lo-tech Oracle, at his side every step of the way. Knowing Lois, she’d be […]

DC Digital Wonder Woman ’77 #4

It’s been a few weeks since the first Wonder Woman ’77 story – it’s on an alternating schedule with Sensation Comics – but she’s back, and in a very strange place. As we join Agent Diana Prince she’s in the street, waking from a fainting spell. All she can remember about her life is her […]
