Justice League Vs Suicide Squad #6 review

Eclipso has taken over the world. With the Justice League under his influence, the dark god has managed to subsume the populace, turning people against one another. Only the Suicide Squad and Batman remain free – deemed too unimpressive to be of use – and this is the issue in which they show Eclipso what […]

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 […]

Suicide Squad Rebirth #1 review

Amanda Waller has a problem – President Barack Obama has found out about the existence of Task Force X and he’s not pleased. Amanda Waller has a very persuasive manner. She convinces Obama there should be a murderous, lunatic black ops team serving a world that can’t know of its existence … all it really […]

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 […]

Harley Quinn #0 review

Harley Quinn, erstwhile girlfriend of the Joker and current Suicide Squad member, is dreaming. Dreaming of the comic book she might have, and the artists who might draw her – who would best capture her mischievous magnificence? Tony Daniel? Becky Cloonan? Art Baltazar? Any one of the other 14 artists on this teaser for the […]

The Green Team #1 review

In an abandoned Manhattan warehouse, the world’s richest teens gather. They’re at a ‘poxpo’ – a pop-up expo – at which inventors with lunatic, potentially great ideas show them off. And if they impress organiser Commodore Murphy, they’ll get the money to develop the products into a marketable state – and perhaps seriously rich. But […]

The Movement #1 review

In Coral City, police officers Whitt and Pena threaten to arrest a young couple on trumped-up charges, but say they’ll let them go if the girl ‘gives us a little peek’. They’re stopped in their tracks on being surrounded by a crowd wearing identical masks, filming them on camphones. Their captain is angry when local […]

Phantom Lady #1 review

Years ago, in Metropolis’ Suicide Slum, crusading reporter Harry Knight and his wife were executed by a mob boss. Today their daughter Jennifer fights crime as the superheroine Phantom Lady, armed with a black light ray which can cause dense fog, manifest hard light objects and extend to form a ‘shadow slide’. Flash back six […]

Ame-Comi 1: Wonder Woman #1 review

A comic strip centred on DC heroines as interpreted for manga-style statues? Now there’s an off the wall idea. But here’s a terrific digital first comic. Writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray reinterpret the classic tale of the Amazon Princess who wants to grow beyond the restrictions placed upon her by her mother, and gets […]

Jimmy Olsen #1 review

Now this was worth waiting for. Nick Spencer’s take on Jimmy Olsen debuted in Action Comics last year when the book was running a back-up strip. After four superb instalments as previously praised here, also here and here the Jimmy Olsen’s Big Week serial was curtailed as price and page count fell. Well, here’s the rest of the story along […]
