Action Comics #976 review

Ever read a comic that goes exactly where you expect it to… and you couldn’t be happier? That’s me and Action Comics #576, which wraps up the Superman Reborn story arc and along with it, the short, rollercoaster lives of the New 52 Superman and Lois Lane. But they’re not gone – the Lois and Clark […]

Superman #19 review

There’s a moment this issue which has Super Son Jon Kent, cast into limbo by Mr Mxyzptlk, seeming to fly. He doesn’t know if he actually is flying – an ability his developing Earth/Krypton physiology has so far denied him – or floating because there’s no reference point. Still, the scene jibes with my feelings as […]

Action Comics #971 review

Superman is convinced. L’Call the Godslayer and partner Zade have shown the Man of Steel visions of a future in which Lex Luthor is the new Darkseid. He agrees that Lex must die, that millions might live. He agrees to deliver the killing blow if they hand him the ceremonial sword. I think we all […]

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 […]

Action Comics #969 review

Self-styled Superman Lex Luthor has been kidnapped by two alien beings. L’Call and Zade believe he’s destined to become the next Darkseid if he’s not killed. And yet they’ve not murdered him, they’ve transported him across the cosmos to the world of Nideesi, where a court of Remnants – survivors of galactic genocide – will […]

Action Comics #965 review

It’s Lois Lane’s first day at the Daily Planet and she’s nervous. This isn’t the Lois who usually works at the Metropolis newspaper, it’s the Lois from the pre-Flashpoint Earth – Mrs Superman, mother of new Superboy Jon and supremely adept journalist. But to get the story she’s after, Lois must fool a team of crack […]
