Batman Eternal #11 review

Well, that was unexpected. After ten issues of typically intense Gotham action and character work, Batman Eternal takes a decidedly comic turn. And it works brilliantly. All credit to writer Tim Seeley and artist Ian Bertram for a story that reads and looks like nothing else in the Batman universe. Oh sure, its use […]

Supergirl #32 review

Still a Red Lantern, Kara is on her way back to Earth. While she’s fitted in with the gang, leader Guy Gardner wants her to go to planet Mogo to see if the ring can be safely removed. But she’s not having it, she likes that the red energy makes her feel part of something.After […]

Justice League United #2 review

The origin of the latest Justice League rattles along nicely, with answers gained as to what alien tech is doing hidden in the wilds of Canada, and the nature of Ultra the Multi-Alien. Plus, we finally catch up with the cold open of issue #0. Green Arrow, Stargirl, J’onn J’onnz and Animal Man meet Sardath, […]

Justice League United #3 review except it’s really #2, blame DC, OK?

Infinity Man and the Forever People #1 review

A quartet of graduates from an extra-dimensional academy are sent to Earth, to bring harmony to a world racked with conflict and disease. But dark forces from their homeland are waiting, and they won’t be making things easy for the Forever People. That’s the idea behind this new series and it’s a case of so […]

Action Comics #32 review

The Superman Doomed event enters a new stage this issue, with an Enemy of the State banner added to the cover. I’m not sure why the title needs a subtitle as the story continues without any obvious new starting point, but there you go. Inside, we get another title, Nightmare. And that’s what Superman hopes […]

Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #1 review

Aw yeah, the Tiny Titans are back and it’s like they’ve never been away. The comic’s title is more literal than I expected, as it begins with Supergirl, Superboy, Streaky and Krypto arriving at the spot where the Treehouse is perched, itching to tell everyone about their Superman Family Adventures. Sadly, it ain’t there – […]

The Wake #9 review

It’s three months since last issue and Leeward has risen to be first mate of Captain Mary’s crew of mutant mariners. She’s convinced Mary to devote his weird ship’s resources to investigating the radio signal from the 21st century which may be the key to grabbing the world back from the savage Mer creatures. […]

Secret Origins #2 review

Last month Superman had the cover, this time it’s Batman, next month it’s Wonder … er, Green Lantern. So much for my theory that DC’s traditional Big Three were the opening acts for this origin anthology. Not to worry, the images we are getting are certainly winners, though I’d prefer group shots including the other […]

Superman #31 review

The Superman Doomed story continues in splendid form this issue, as writer Scott Lobdell bows out as series writer. His biggest dangling plotline is the problem with Lois, currently a secret psychic puppet of Brainiac. Here she messes up efforts to cure Superman of the Doomsday virus by having him leave Lex Luthor’s prison-turned-hero-hospital. An […]
