Adventures of Superman #46 review

This digital first series has given fresh meaning to the term ‘all-ages’ as it spans the many eras of Superman to bring us excellent stories divorced from the current comic book continuity. This week’s 99c issue is another huge treat, as it focuses on Superman’s earliest days and how a superhero from another world changes […]

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #5 review

One of the nicest aspects of blogging about comics is choosing pictures to drop into the text, either to illustrate a point or just because they’re fun. With this 99c digital first series there are so many delightful moments on every page that it’s really tough to narrow it down. Let’s see how things fall […]

Moon Knight #1 review

I never bothered with the last series of Moon Knight after the first few issues; the idea of Marc Spector as a man with deep mental health issues ran out of steam fast. Warren Ellis was apparently unimpressed too, as he’s distancing Moon Knight from the schizophrenia business. He’s not just ignoring it, though – […]

Forever Evil #6 review

It’s the penultimate issue of Forever Evil and things are rather heating up. Batman and a bevy of super-baddies led by Lex Luthor break into the fallen JLA satellite and battle the Crime Syndicate. The kidnapped Nightwing is found and he’s in a sticky position. And the mysterious Man in the Hood stands revealed. The […]

Fantastic Four #1 review

Welcome to volume 427 of the Fantastic Four. Bring a teddy bear. Because you’ll need something to cuddle in order to get through this miserable first issue from James Robinson, Leonard Kirk and Karl Kesel. Three of my favourite talents in comics and I wish they’d all taken the week off. I didn’t think ‘Fall […]

Superman #28 review

Ten out of ten for a striking cover design as Ed Benes follows Aaron Kuder’s lead on this month’s Action Comics to give us an especially earthy treatment. But can you judge the book by this cover? Could the interior actually live up to the exterior, especially after the horror served up by writer Scott […]

Superman: Lois Lane #1

Once upon a time you could guarantee Lois Lane would be in pretty much every Superman story, as reporting rival, romantic partner or both. Since the 2011 relaunch Lois hasn’t been seen so much, with a steady boyfriend keeping her busy as Superman ‘enjoys’ a weird un-romance with Wonder Woman. I wouldn’t say Lois has […]

New Warriors #1 review

The New Warriors are back. Or rather, A New Warriors, as this Marvel Now revamp features only a couple of the originals from the Nineties hit. So we have Justice and Speedball, and that’s about it. There’s the new Nova, and a new Namora, the new Sun Girl, the new Scarlet Spider and sidekick Hummingbird, […]

Supergirl #28 review

Supergirl and Lobo are fighting at underground science station the Block. Kara is angrier than ever before, bitter that Earth seems to have nothing to offer but pain. The fight goes worldwide when Block boss Shay Veritas expels the pair to stop the facility and its inhabitants from becoming collateral damage (though lurking demon Blaze […]

Special Guest Post – She-Hulk Review #1 by Eugene Liptak

Well here we are again. Another She-Hulk #1 has made its debut and questions abound about how these new adventures of Jennifer Walters will complement and contribute to her mythos. Writer Charles Soule best known for his current work on Swamp Thing, Thunderbolts, Red Lanterns, Inhumans, and Superman/Wonder Woman gives us a simple tale of […]
