Justice League #24 review

There’s a colossal, unnatural storm in the Atlantic, threatening the Eastern Seaboard of the US and the Justice League are stepping up. Winds of 200mph are a threat, but when you have several members with super-speed and endurance, what’s to stop you stopping it? How about the wrath of a water witch? Mera plans to […]

Teen Titans Special #1 review

Damian Wayne’s USP is that he’s a bit of a dick – highly intelligent, but even more arrogant. I’ve defended him down the years as a wild card who can turn a story on its head, disrupting normally smooth-running relationships, injecting extra excitement. This issue, though, he does something unforgivable. Let’s work our way to […]

Titans Annual #1 review

Eight people in a locked room. No one knows how they got there. Confusion turns to paranoia. Accusations are made. Secrets emerge.

Justice League #51 review

Five years ago, Justice League was a very annoying comic. Bad-tempered heroes, sound and fury signifying nothing much….

Batman sneaks into the apartment Batwoman keeps as Kate Kane and offers her a new role – general to a unit of young crimefighters […]

Cyborg #1 review

Hey, Cyborg has a life? Who knew? Not me, and I’ve been following him in Justice League for three years. There, he’s basically a talking Boom Tube with a very loud whisk attachment. Here, he’s a guy with feelings, friends, maybe even a bright future. We join Victor Stone shortly after his latest JL sortie […]
