The Flash #794 review

The Flash Family’s fightback against would-be world conquerors The Fraction continues. The heroes launched an assault on the aliens’ Earth HQ last issue and it was all going pretty swimmingly until Wally West was killed along the way. The surviving heroes aren’t giving up but having lost the element of surprise, the forces of The […]

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1

Ultraman, the evil Kal-El, is rampaging across the Multiverse with one thing on his mind. The murder of Superman. Again and again. Equipped with a device to weaken his targets at a cellular level, Ultraman has the advantage. On Earth One, meanwhile, young Superman Jon Kent is spending time with his boyfriend, Jay Nakamura. Jon […]

Stargirl: The Lost Children #4 review

How’s that for a cover! As grabbers go, it’s a winner by Todd Nauck, taking the actual tenth issue of Flash Comics and inserting the new character Judy Garrick. For comparison, here’s the original from 1940. If you’re been reading this series, or other recent Geoff Johns-written DC comics, you’ll know that Judy is one […]

Batman Vs Robin #5 review

The Lazarus Resin has stopped falling from the sky. The threat of King Fire Bull is over. Earth’s sorcerers have seen their power restored. But not everything is back to normal – the Devil Nezha, who sparked the whole Lazarus Planet business when he took over Damian Wayne, has a new berth. Oh. Dear. Nezha […]

Action Comics #1052 review

The unveiling of the new Steelworks building in Metropolis has been hit by an explosion, and Metallo has risen from the wreckage. Luckily the entire Super Family is on the scene. While our two Steels – Natasha and John Henry Irons – get in some good blows, it’s Superman who ends the immediate Metallo threat […]

The Flash #793 review

Flash Gordon had 14 hours to save the Earth. The Flash Family have maybe a minute… Earth is under seige as alien conquerors The Fraction enact their plan to steal the planet’s resources, killing the population along the way. Their connection to the Speed Force means the World’s Greatest Superheroes are too slow to have […]

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #12 review

Supergirl and Robin go on a date. There a monkey on the loose. That’s all it takes to spark one of the best DC comics we’ll get this year. Writer Mark Waid is a master when it come to depicting superheroes with personality, building off classic characterisations and adding insights that, while logical, haven’t been […]

Superman #1 review

It’s a brand new day in Metropolis, with Superman still basking in the joy of being home after his Warworld adventure. The villains are low stakes… … the Daily Planet is ticking over… … and with Lex Luthor in prison, Lexcorp is… …Supercorp? That’s unexpected. It seems that Superman having turned down Lex’s offer of […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #5 review

There’s not a lot of Batman in this issue. There’s more Scooby-Doo and friends, but there’s no denying the star of ‘Rat’s All Folks’ is Batwoman. It’s a refreshing change to have another Batman Family member team up with Mystery Inc, as Batman tackles an off-panel alien invasion with the Justice League. So what’s the […]

Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 review

Another week, another Lazarus Planet anthology, with another meaningless subtitle. May as well call it Lazarus Planet: Random Doomy Words. You know the deal by now. Magic green rain is coming down, people are getting super powers, blah blah. This one I’ve been looking forward to, though, as it brings the return of the Doom […]
