Teen Titans #16 review

Longtime Teen Titans foe Mammoth has escaped from super-prison and he’s got a mad-on. Luckily, three Titans are on the scene and ready to round him up. There’s an impressive display of teamwork, so you can understand why Starfire is confused afterwards, when it’s anything but Titans Together. Feeling left out – and old – […]

Dark Days: The Casting #1 review

One of the big keynotes of the DC Universe is legacy – heroes and villains constantly reborn, either literally, like Hawkman, or figuratively, like the Flash. Something less talked about, but for me a big part of the appeal of the line, is scope, and that’s what this comic has in spades. So what does […]

Suicide Squad #20 review

Rick Flag is dead. That’s leading the Suicide Squad for you. With the threat of the People imminent, Amanda Waller needs a replacement, so she looks at the in-house candidates. This makes sense; when someone new comes to Belle Reve penitentiary she doesn’t know how far she can trust them (see the traitorous, now dead […]

Dark Days: The Forge #1 review

A long time ago, an Egyptian prince discovers the secrets of Nth metal. Today, Batman rescues a scientist from a volcanic eruption in the Bermuda Triangle. And Green Lantern Hal Jordan is dispatched to the Batcave by the Guardian Ganthet, to stop a secret coming to light. Before he can discover what that is, Hal […]

Titans #7 review

The Titans have moved to New York. Manhattan, to be precise, due to Lilith psychically spotting the word in the mind of just-defeated nemesis Abra Kadabra. Knowing he’s from the future and obsessed with the Titans, they figure that’s where they need to be. So they’re building a headquarters and equipping themselves for action. With […]

Justice League Vs Suicide Squad #2 review

Here’s a comic that does what it says on the tin as the Justice League and Suicide Squad face off in fine style. Task Force X are on the island of Badhnisia to stop a doomsday cult using a STAR Labs ‘quake pulsar’ to destroy the place. Having just learned of the Squad’s existence, the […]

Justice League Rebirth #1 review

New York is being destroyed by a space cockroach. A bug so massive that the tiniest part of a tentacle can bring a skyscraper crashing to the ground. It’s spewing forth mini-mes that attach themselves to humans and enslave them. And the Justice League really don’t know how to beat this thing – Cyborg tries […]

Superman/Wonder Woman #28 review

The Final Days of Superman has so far been a terrific storyline, full of well-played, meaningful moments as the Man of Steel tells family and friends he’s going to die. The last chapter ended with Wonder Woman showing up, demanding to know why he’d not told her. Well, anyone reading the last couple of months […]

Justice League of America #1 review

Clark Kent is invited to an event by the Infinity Corporation in New York, a group he’s never heard of but one which evidently knows he’s Superman. There, scientist Vincent and colleague Alexis present him with a horrific sight – multiple versions of himself, all dead. Vincent is frustratingly obtuse with the information he gives […]

Harley Quinn #12 review

It’s 2009 all over again. Harley Quinn graciously steps aside as Power Girl stars in the type of adventure typical of the deliriously delightful first year of her sorely missed series by Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Amanda Conner. Peege first dropped in – literally – last issue, amnesiac and pretty much Harley’s plaything. This time, with […]
