Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1 Review

We’ve all had days when we don’t know who we are anymore. But for Diana, this is the literal truth. A truth about falsehoods – she’s remembering conflicting stories about her past. Was she made from clay? Or is she the daughter of Zeus. How can she be god of war? What were the circumstances […]

Batgirl #49 review

Barbara Gordon’s mind has been hacked. Can computer expert pal Frankie rescue Batgirl by going into her head and enlisting a hopefully neutered evil AI as her guide? Yeah, it’s comics goes Tron again. But wait… this is rather good. Writers Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher use the conceit to give us a closer look […]

Batman Eternal #51 review

So, last week we had the big reveal as to just who’s been bedevilling Batman and friends for the last few issues … Cluemaster.

She hands the egg to her mother, because on Paradise Island, says Hippolyta, ‘you need to present […]

Justice Society of America 80-Page Giant #1 – anyone know a good shrink?

Some weeks there’s just not the time to review every comic I’d like to. Especially when they’re giant-sized issues (which barely anyone buys – seriously, you should see my stats when I try to give a multi-story special its due. Pitiful). Still, I’d not sleep if I didn’t at least try to bring a little story […]
