Teen Titans #2 review

Having escaped from the N.O.W.H.E.R.E. goons, Red Robin and Wonder Girl encounter a new hunted teenager, the insectoid nicknamed Skitter. Elsewhere, Kid Flash escapes his N.O.W.H.E.R.E. holding cell and meets his next-door neighbour, a young woman named Solstice. And she’s burning to say hello. And at N.O.W.H.E.R.E. headquarters, newly born clone Superboy is readying for an […]

Teen Titans #1 review

The newly minted Kid Flash makes a proper pig’s ear of helping firefighters extinguish a blaze. Watching from afar, Red Robin isn’t impressed but he has more immediate concerns – super-teens the world over are being kidnapped by a shadowy group. Offered a job with said bad guys, he tells the man from N.O.W.H.E.R.E where he can stick […]

Teen Titans #100 review

It’s the fight no one demanded, Superboy Prime vs the Teen Titans. Time and time again Prime has been defeated, placed in an ‘ultimate prison’, depowered, whatever … but he keeps coming back.

This time she quests around the world, guided by the tarot cards of late mentor Madame Xanadu, looking […]

Justice League of America #54 review

New JLA artist Brett Booth immediately shows us what he can do with a grimly powerful cover. Inside he gamely illustrates writer James Robinson’s latest whirlwind tour of the DC Universe, producing some memorable images. Chief among them is the dark god Syththunu, an HR Giger Alien by way of HP Lovecraft, though the French villain Bete-Noire is also […]

Starman/Congorilla #1 review

DC finally gives us a Blue & Gold book Having to fit in with DC’s Iconic Cover month is a bit of a bugger when you’ve never had a comic book before. So well done to whoever designed the Starman / Congorilla cover around Gene Ha’s excellent visual for coming up with not just something, but […]

Superman/Batman #78 review

This issue opens with shocking scenes as Superman and Batman are seen engaging in brutal conflict. The narration doesn’t shy from letting us know things aren’t as they seem, and we’re soon shown that the fights are the imaginings of two boys engaging in a game of ‘Who would win’? And that’s basically it for […]
