Legion Lost #12 review

Legion Lost nemesis Alastor has a new power – body-hopping. He spends this issue bouncing from member to member, stealing their knowledge, revealing their secrets and generally messing with their heads. Physically and mentally, he sets member against member. And when he’s not possessing Legionnaires he’s inhabiting members of the Meta-Marines, the enhanced humans sicced […]

Legion Lost #10 review

The Legion Lost team get back to the future, but it’s a future too far. A time bubble liberated from their enemy, Harvest, takes the heroes a few years beyond 3012, where they find … no one. A catastrophe has devastated the Earth and the populace is nowhere to be seen. Legion Clubhouse provides no […]

Justice League #8 review

Green Arrow wants to join the Justice League. Trying to persuade the world’s greatest super-team to – ahem – give him a shot, he starts showing up for their missions. And while he’s actually pretty useful, his requests for a trial are turned down. Aquaman doesn’t like him. Green Lantern thinks he’d be useless. Batman […]

Superboy #8 review and Legion Lost #8 review

If the comics can link up, I reckon the reviews can too. So what have we here, as DC’s ‘Young Justice’ titles start their first official crossover? First off, Superboy, in which the Clone of Steel faces his biggest threat yet, the teenage powerhouse known as Grunge … for no reason I can see, unless […]

Legion Lost #5 review

‘Never stopped you either, energy-sock.’ And there you have it, my favourite line in this week’s comics. But who said it? Stick around, embrace spoilers and I’ll get to that. As we rejoin the storyline, Dawnstar is fighting super-villain from the future Alastor – three of him, due to his manifesting the powers of a […]

Action Comics #5 review

Krypton is dying and Jor-El sees just one way to save his family – sanctuary in the ethereal prison that is the Phantom Zone. Unfortunately, the criminals already there put paid to that idea, ending the hopes of survival for he and wife Lara. But their son can perhaps be saved, if a tiny, experimental […]

Legion Lost #3 review

Good Lord, what a horrible creature on that cover. It’s Dan DiDio in an OMAC tee shirt! Kidding … well, not about DC’s co-publisher, there he indeed is, just above the barcode. But I mean the monster Timber Wolf’s fighting. It’s one of the alien/human hybrids created by the Hypertaxis Plague released by 31st-century terrorist […]
