Possessed by Parallax, Superman is confronted by Sinestro. Once partners, the leader of the Yellow Lanterns and the fear creature battle it out for Superman’s soul.

Superman # 28 review

The Kent family conclude their Independence Day trip around US heritage sites, giving and learning lessons and, finally, attempting to help a very patriotic family. Specifically, they’re in Washington DC, starting with a trip to the Capitol Building, where the value of protests is noted. Then it’s a visit to the Second World War Memorial, for […]

Super Sons #6 review

Damian Wayne is a busy kid. If he’s not out with (don’t call him) his best pal Jon Kent, he’s annoying his Teen Titans team. He gets to do both this issue. First, it’s patrol with Superboy or, as Robin calls it, training. We see their different approaches to life. Then, when the Teen Titans […]

Superman #26 review

Jon Kent has been through trials by fire. He’s found out his parents come from another Earth and his dad is Superman. He’s fought monsters both human and inhuman. He’s had his mind corrupted. He’s survived several team-ups with Damian Wayne. Truth be told, he’s getting a little cocky. And when you’re overconfident, and don’t […]

Super Sons #5 review

What was causing monsters to appear at the local swamp? And what was so special about Bessie the Cow’s milk? This issue we get […]

Superman #24 review

Some time ago, in space, an extraterrestrial war is in progress. Can one man make a difference? When it’s the massively powerful telepath Manchester Black, certainly. In the present day, the alien refugees of Hamilton County argue among themselves. Clark, meanwhile, visits injured wife Lois in hospital, but she’d rather he were elsewhere. Superman finds […]

Superman #23 review

As a curious, angry Lois is telekinetically kept at bay by neighbour turned antagonist Cobb Branden, Superman examines the prison tubes containing Batman, Robin, Frankenstein and more. Lois assumes, reasonably, that Cobb is a villain, but he disagrees. Lois fights back with her Bat-gauntlet, angering Cobb and bringing a very angry Superman to the scene, […]
